What Wattage LED Floodlight Do I Need?

The wattage of an LED floodlight determines its brightness, measured in lumens (lm). Unlike halogen floodlights, LEDs use significantly less power while providing the same illumination.

Recommended Wattage Guide:

LED Wattage	Approx. Lumens	Best For
10W - 20W	800 - 2,000lm	Small gardens, pathways, porches
30W - 50W	2,500 - 5,000lm	Driveways, gardens, security lighting
100W - 150W	8,000 - 15,000lm	Large outdoor spaces, commercial properties
200W+	20,000lm	Car parks, sports fields, industrial areas

Factors to consider:

LED vs Halogen Efficiency:

LED floodlights are five times more efficient than halogen alternatives, making them a cost-effective and energy-saving solution. For example, a 50W LED floodlight provides the same brightness as a 250W halogen floodlight, significantly reducing electricity consumption.

Beam Angle & Light Coverage:

The beam angle of an LED floodlight determines how widely the light is distributed. A wider beam angle (90°-120°) is ideal for covering larger areas, such as driveways and car parks. In contrast, a narrower beam angle (30°-60°) provides more focused lighting, making it suitable for spotlighting specific areas or enhancing security.
