Choosing LED floodlights for a site, yard or facade

A floodlight order goes wrong in one of three ways: too little light, the wrong colour, or a fitting that is not sealed for the place it is going. All three are settled before the order, and this is how.

Choosing LED floodlights for a site, yard or facade

A floodlight order goes wrong in one of three ways: too little light, the wrong colour, or a fitting that is not sealed for the place it is going. All three are settled before the order, and this is how.

How many watts — replace by lumens, not by habit

LEDVANCE's own figures for the floodlights in this table come out at about 90 lumens per watt: a 50 W gives 4,500 lumens and a 150 W gives 13,500. An old halogen floodlight gives roughly 20 lumens per watt, which is why a 500 W halogen is replaced by something nearer 100 W, not 500.

ReplacingRough outputLED floodlight to look at
150 W halogenabout 2,500 lm30 W
300–500 W halogenabout 5,000–9,000 lm50–100 W
1,000 W halogenabout 16,000–20,000 lm200 W

Arithmetic from typical halogen output and LEDVANCE's stated lumens. Read the lumen figure on the row before ordering — the ranges differ.

Which range: Eco Lite, Eco, Value, G3 or Performance

All of them are LEDVANCE, all of them are sealed for outdoor use, and the difference is mostly how long they are built to last and how much they cost. For a temporary site compound the economy ranges are the sensible buy. For a building facade or a yard lit every night for years, the higher ranges repay the difference.

  • Eco Lite and Eco — the economy ranges, 10 W to 200 W. Site compounds, labour camps, temporary works.
  • Value and G3 — the mid ranges. Warehouses, yards and building exteriors.
  • Performance and Pro — the top ranges, for long nightly hours and places where a failed fitting is expensive to reach.
  • Smart+ WiFi — dimmable and colour-changing, controlled from a phone. Villas and feature lighting, not work areas.
  • High bays (60 W to 200 W) — not floodlights, but the same buyer needs them: warehouse and workshop ceilings.

Colour and protection

Day light (6500K) is the normal choice for security, car parks and work areas — it reads white and shows detail. Warm white (3000K) suits villas, hospitality and anywhere the light is part of how the building looks.

The LEDVANCE floodlights in this table are rated IP65, which means sealed against dust and direct water — on a UAE site the dust matters as much as the rain. The table also holds a few spot lamps and drivers; those are indoor parts, and the row says so.

Questions

Straight answers.

Where can I buy LEDVANCE floodlights in the UAE?

From Lion Yard Trading, an authorised LEDVANCE distributor, with stock held at our warehouse in Al Quoz 4, Dubai and delivery to all seven emirates. The full floodlight range from 10 W to 200 W is in the table on this page — send the list and quantities and you get a written price in AED the same day.

What wattage LED floodlight do I need to replace a 500 W halogen?

Usually a 100 W LED. A 500 W halogen gives about 8,000 to 10,000 lumens, and LEDVANCE floodlights give about 90 lumens per watt, so 100 W lands in the same range. Check the lumen figure on the row before ordering.

Are these floodlights suitable for outdoor use in the UAE?

Yes. The LEDVANCE floodlights in this range are rated IP65, which means sealed against dust and direct water jets. That rating is what makes a fitting outdoor-safe, not the look of it — check it on the row for anything else you order.

Should I choose warm white or day light floodlights?

Day light (6500K) for security, car parks, yards and work areas, because it shows detail. Warm white (3000K) for villas, hospitality and building facades where the light is part of the look. Use one colour per area.

Do you supply floodlights in bulk for contractors and projects?

Yes — contractors, facility managers and site compounds are who this range is stocked for. Send the wattages, colours and quantities and the quotation comes back the same day with 5% VAT shown separately.
