Led landscape spotlight showing 15 30 and 60 beam angles while it depends on the angle and individual light retailers small beams are often referred to as spot beams and larger angles usually anything above 90 degrees are considered flood beams.
Spotlight vs floodlight led.
Spotlights are a lot tighter.
It can illuminate a larger amount of space with the same wattage and lumen output as a spotlight.
That just might come in handy when creating your landscape lighting plan.
If you are going to be using your led light bar for multiple applications where neither spotlights nor floodlights will always work best a combination light bar is an excellent choice to consider.
10w led floodlights are equivalent to 100w halogen floodlights with an increased lumen output of 900.
First let s cover the basics.
This beam is more concentrated and easier to point and control.
Floodlights can have a beam up to around 120 wide.
Flood light led bulbs in this category create a large beam spread that can cast from 50 to 120 degrees of light.
Spotlights illuminate a specific spot while floodlights flood an area with light.
As this is a larger beam this light covers a significantly large amount of space without compromising energy efficiency wattage or light brightness lumens in comparison to the spotlight.
Flood light on the other hand is the complete opposite.
It produces one of the widest light beams that could go as far as 120 degrees.
And thanks to its narrowness the spotlight is very easy to control.
A combination light bar is one that is equipped with both flood and spot beam patterns.
Specifically a spotlight has a narrow light beam that is about 45 degrees which results in a more concentrated light beam and easier control.
From left to right.
If you find it difficult to remember the difference between a spotlight and a floodlight keep this in mind.
The difference is in how tightly the beam is focused.
In contrast a floodlight can have a light beam of up to 120 degrees.
30w led floodlights are equivalent to 300w halogen floodlights with an increased lumen output of 2 700.
20w led floodlights are equivalent to 200w halogen floodlights with an increased lumen output of 1 800.
Because of this it allows larger spaces to be illuminated with the same lumen output and wattage as a spotlight.
A floodlight can have a beam spread of up to 120 degrees.
And it s that one such light can solely illuminate large spaces.
