Among the most popular types of outdoor lights are floodlights. These lights are named so for their ability to "flood" outdoor illumination to a particular area or to larger areas. These lighting fixtures may be used merely for outdoor illumination purposes or for adding security to any home, building, or property. This is essentially why many floodlights are also used as security lights.
Why install a floodlight?
There are several reasons why you might want to install a floodlight within your property. First of all, floodlights are ideal in providing wide and even illumination to the outdoor areas of your home. Strategically-installed bright floodlights can illuminate a landscaped garden most especially at night. You may put up these lights in your backyard or flower garden, or you may use this lighting to bring more focus to a particular area in your gardens, such as the gazebo or the water fountain. Another reason why you might need to put up a floodlight is to increase security levels in your property. Since these lights illuminate dark areas, intruders will find it more difficult breaking into your property. Increased visibility and illumination deters these intruders from trespassing into your home or business building. Also, these floodlights can help you navigate through your property safely, especially at night. A motion sensor floodlight can detect motion from several feet away, and will automatically turn on once it recognizes movement or activity. This is why floodlights can also keep stray animals from wandering into your property at night.
Where should you install your floodlight?
Installation is often no longer a problem as many of these floodlight models are sold through an easy-to-install kit. As far as placement goes, you might want to consider placing your floodlights in your backyard and front lawn, driveway, walkway, or in porches. You may also use a floodlight to illuminate a pathway leading to your home or building. There are few things to remember when installing a floodlight moreover. If you are using these lights especially for security purposes, make sure that these are installed at the right height, so as to keep others from disabling or manipulating your flood light. The most advisable angle of a floodlight is 22 degrees facing the ground. Make sure the lights are not pointing towards another's property or in any other home besides yours. Floodlights may be powered by rechargeable batteries or through solar panels, such as the Coleman Cable Floodlights with Remote Solar Panel. By installing floodlights in strategic areas all over your property, you can provide aesthetic illumination outdoors and also improve security throughout your home or business property from dusk until dawn.
