Street floodlights are widely used to illuminate courtyards, car parks, sidewalks and advertising signs. There are architectural devices for light decoration of building structures at night. Landscaping models are used to supply lighting to squares, parks and other green areas. Our experts figured out how to choose a specific spotlight for a specific task. Get practical tips and a list of the best products with reviews.

How to choose a street spotlight

Here are the main parameters to look out for when choosing a floodlight for outdoor use:

1. Location. The lighting device can be portable or stationary. The former are practical for temporarily supplying lighting to a place of rest or work in the evening. They have a handle for easy transport. The latter are attached to a wall or ceiling in order to constantly supply light to a specific place.
2. Lamp type. The light source in the spotlight can be a halogen lamp, which produces a dense white light stream and is suitable for high-quality illumination of the working area. The xenon lamp shines “softer” and further. Its lifespan is longer since there is no filament inside. LED bulbs consume less energy and have the longest life.
3. Brightness. The characteristic is measured in lumens and can be from 800 to 20,000 lumens. The higher the value, the more light the device emits.
4. Enclosure protection level. It is designated as IPxx and can mean protection from dust, rain, water jets. The metal case will withstand more wind and hail loads than the plastic one.
5. Power. The indicator varies from 8 to 500 W and affects the strength of light radiation, as well as electricity consumption.
6. Power connection method. The floodlights are connected to a 220 V network directly or to 12 V through an adapter. There are solar-powered models that don't require outdoor wiring.
7. Colour temperature. Light emission can be in the temperature range of 1200-6500 K. The lower the value, the more yellow the light will be. If the number is high, then the lighting will be whiter or even bluer.
8. Resource. Sometimes manufacturers indicate lamp life between 15,000 and 50,000 hours. For example, in the maximum version, if you turn on the spotlight on the street for 12 hours every day, it will last about 11 years.
9. Color rendering. The characteristic affects the naturalness of the display of colors and is measured in Ra. Natural color rendition is important for work, so choose floodlights with an indicator of 80 Ra.
10. Lighting type. The angle of light distribution can be point or diffuse. The first is useful for delivering narrow-beam light to an architectural object or work area. The second option is optimal for general lighting of the yard or other wide area on the street.
11. Working temperature range. Some projectors are designed to operate up to -20 degrees, while others have a take-off range of -45 … + 50 ° C.

Kanlux Eliot ZW3-L500P-B

Rating: 4.9

In the first place is a portable outdoor floodlight for outdoor use with a comfortable grip with a rubberized handle and a stable base. The frame is made of steel pipe with a diameter of 10 mm and is bent without a single weld, which increases the strength of the structure. The fixing of the spotlight to the bracket is carried out by means of a clamp and the direction of light supply can be changed by 50 degrees. A metal halide lamp with a power of 500 watts works inside. It is protected by stainless steel rods from mechanical damage. The housing has an IP54 tightness level and the lighting device can be operated outdoors in the rain. The lighting device weighs 1.5 kg.

We found the spotlight to be the best for outdoor construction work. Power of 500 W provides a dense stream of white light over a wide area. This allows you to continue critical work on pouring the foundation or masonry, even in the dark. Another advantage of the product is the lamp life of 50 thousand hours.

Advantages

• sturdy frame;
• lamp protection with stainless rods;
• metal body;
• can be operated at temperatures -45 … + 50 degrees.

disadvantages

• consumes a lot of electricity – consumes 5 kW for 10 hours of operation;

The model has a flat aluminum housing with reflector and is designed for mounting on a pole, wall or ceiling. The U-shaped arm allows the projector to be rotated 180 degrees, delivering light with a diffusion angle of 100 degrees. The model weighs 5.8 kg. It can be operated at temperatures of -40… + 50º С and exposed to direct rainfall and even jets of water, since the enclosure protection level is IP65. A street lighting device is connected to a 220 V network with a frequency of 50 Hz. Buyers in the reviews love the 40,000 hour lamp life, which will last about 8 years.

The floodlight was recognized by us as the best for the strength of the front part. Unlike the model described above, there is no grill, but tempered glass is installed. This protects the LED panel from stones, hail and other mechanical damage. We recommend this floodlight for use in completely open areas or construction site conditions.

Advantages

• bright light 18000 lm;
• diode resource up to 40,000 hours of operation;
• durable metal body;
• scattering angle 100º.

Rating: 4.7

And here is another stationary floodlight for outdoor use. The model has a power of 200 W, powered from a 220 V network, and generates a luminous flux of 17,000 lm. Its color temperature is 6500 K, so the lighting is very high quality and bright. Reviews show that with its help in the yard in the evening you can work as during the day. Color rendering index of 80 Ra provides natural illumination of objects, which is important for finishing work. The manufacturer promises a lamp life of up to 30,000 hours. The floodlight can be operated at an outdoor ambient temperature of -40 to +40 degrees. Protection against dust and water at the IP65 level will prevent a heavy shower from spoiling the contacts or oxidizing the tracks on the microcircuit.

Our experts singled out the floodlight as the best because of the size of the case, namely the thickness of the LED panel. Most competitors with similar power have a case section of 60-80 mm, while here this figure is 42 mm, for which the product is called Ultra Slim. If someone wishes to have ultra thin spotlights in their backyard to support the particular style of an office building, check out this model.

Advantages

• very bright cold light;
• the degree of protection of the case is IP65;
• 3 holes for fixing in the bracket;
• naturally conveys the colors of objects.

It can be placed outdoors in the open air, since the level of sealing is IP65. Diodes emit cold white light with a color temperature of 5500 K. In reviews, the product is praised for its bright lighting, in which you can work under a canopy on the street at any time of the day. The resource of the LED panel will last for 50,000 hours. A metal casing protects internal components from damage, and rubber gaskets prevent dust from entering the contacts. An aluminum radiator is provided at the back, effectively dissipating heat.

A feature of this floodlight is the ability to work from a low voltage of 180 V. This is important for villages and garage cooperatives, summer cottages, where weak power lines are stretched. To always have a brightly lit yard during network drawdowns, choose this model.

Feron LL-503 6400K

Rating: 4.6

This is a street floodlight consisting of two heads with LED technology. In total, 78 LED elements are involved in the work, with a total power of 100 watts. Two lamps give out a flux of 9000 lm with a color temperature of 6500 K. The heads are well insulated against electric shock and rain penetration. The lamps can be used at outdoor temperatures from -40 to +45 degrees.

In our opinion, this is the best floodlight for outdoor use during emergency operations (pipe breakage, roadway restoration, etc.). It is supplied on a 1.7 m long telescopic arm on which the luminaire heads can be swiveled horizontally and vertically. This allows you to supply directional light, and in two places at once. In the reviews, buyers share that the structure is assembled quite easily and it takes about 5 minutes, which is optimal for frequent transportation. In strong winds, the projectors on the pole do not fall. The bracket tubes are so strong that you can additionally hang a construction belt or tools on them so as not to lay them on the ground.

Philips BVP74 LED90 / NW 100W

Rating: 4.5

The Philips company offers a floodlight for outdoor use with dimensions of 19x35x5.3 cm, which is endowed with six rows of luminous strips with a total of 26 LED elements. The equipment emits a luminous flux with a color temperature of 4000 K and a brightness of 9500 lumens. But the naturalness of displaying colors of objects is a little “lame”, since the color rendering index is only 70 Ra. The illuminator can be used at an outdoor temperature of -40 … + 45 degrees, and its resource will last for 30,000 hours. In the reviews, users are pleased with the “soft” light and high-quality assembly, as well as the ability to adjust the turning stiffness without using keys.

In our opinion, this is the best weight-wise floodlight among the 100W devices. If other similar models weigh up to 6 kg, then this lamp has a mass of 2.3 kg. Weight reduction was achieved through the use of cast aluminum with a thin section on the casing and a polycarbonate optical lens instead of glass. This is the best option when you need to organize lighting on the street and not create an excessive load on the beam to which the overhead arc is attached.

Advantages

• the first class of energy security;
• ignition time 0.065 ms;
• swivel lyre is adjustable without keys;
• lamp life up to 30 thousand hours

Eglo Capano 61481

Rating: 4.5

Among the catalog of the Austrian brand Eglo, the Capano 61481 model stands out, which has a power of 100 watts. The dimensions of the plafond are 304x354x90 mm and it is installed on a swivel plafond. All elements of the casing are made of aluminum. The front panel contains hard glass with a secure fit that can withstand wind loads. The box is sealed against dust and water, so it is not damaged when used outdoors in rainy weather. To prevent the LED elements from overheating, abundant perforation is provided on the sides and on the back wall. The lamps emit 14,000 lumens with a temperature of 4,000 K, so the color is neutral, without yellowness. All items look natural thanks to the 80 Ra index. The projector weighs 5.6 kg, so it needs to be securely fixed.

This floodlight is best for illuminating outdoor sports fields (tennis courts, treadmills, workout areas, etc.). It has 6 blocks, each with three rows of LED elements. One line contains 7 diodes. The total number of luminous lamps is 126. This is the best option to provide training at any time of the day.

The equipment works even with slight voltage drops up to 195 V. Reflectors contribute to a dispersion angle of 120º. In terms of energy efficiency, the product belongs to the A + class. The base / plinth frame is made of die-cast aluminum and is supplemented with ribs for accelerated heat dissipation.

The product is worth paying attention to mobile teams that often change jobs. The floodlights do not need to be fixed as they are placed on their own tripod. The telescopic bar is not only convenient for transporting the support when folded, but also allows you to adjust the light supply at the desired height. Having two shades is beneficial to direct the light to two different locations. A street searchlight is also suitable for paramedic teams if you have to provide assistance in an unlit place, especially in conditions of collapsing buildings where there is no power supply.

Advantages

• anti-slip rubber pads on the tripod tips;
• telescopic bar with three warehouses;
• rotation of the shades vertically and horizontally;
• individual direction of each spotlight is available.

disadvantages

• not everywhere you can get accessories (clips, tips, etc.);
• the rod body is made of steel and therefore corroded.

IEK СДО 06-100 (6500K)

Rating: 4.3

The domestic brand IEK produces a street floodlight with a power of 100 W, emitting a luminous flux of 8000 lm. The aluminum body is resistant to negative weather factors. The illuminator can be used at temperatures as low as -20 degrees. It is allowed to be suspended at a height of 6-8 m, which helps to protect the goods from theft. Users in reviews like the brightness of the outdoor lighting. Most buyers use an end-of-home floodlight to bring light into their garden or yard. The floodlight gives a volumetric diffused light with a high color temperature of 6500 K. But the owners warn that the lamp resource is unpredictable, so you should buy only in your city so that you can exchange it under warranty if it burns out.

In our opinion the spotlight is the best in terms of compactness, power and light output ratio. With dimensions of 20x27x3.4 cm and a consumption of 0.1 kW, the device gives out very bright light, which is enough to fill an area of ​​24 m². This is possible due to the presence of 7 rows each with 12 LED elements. A total of 84 diodes produce a powerful current.

• affordable price;
• housing protection IP65.

disadvantages

Globo Lighting Projecteur 34115

Rating: 4.2

This floodlight shines with cold white light with a temperature of 6500 K. The model is the most common and can be bought in almost any city in Russia. The plafond has dimensions of 14x23x18 cm and is installed on a swing frame. The luminous flux reaches 1300 lumens, but the tightness here loses a little to other participants in the review, since it is IP44. In the reviews, buyers praise the design of the unit for the ability to disassemble and repair, for example, in the event of a diode bridge breakdown.

We considered this floodlight the best in terms of the ratio of power and illuminated area. With a consumption of 20 W, the equipment is capable of illuminating an outdoor courtyard up to 30 m². This effect was achieved thanks to a conical reflector that scatters light rays. This is the best option for protecting the territory of enterprises, where it is required that the lamps burn all night to ensure visibility from cameras. With such devices, less electricity will be consumed, but it will turn out to illuminate a larger space.

Advantages

• collapsible case – can be opened and repaired;
• made of metal and glass;
• brightness 1300 lm;
• swing frame.

disadvantages

The LED floodlight has a compact body with dimensions of 18x15x38 cm and a power of 50 W. This is an analogue of a 750W halogen bulb. The device produces a stream with a brightness of 3800 lumens. Vertically, light is scattered outdoors up to 110 degrees, and horizontally up to 120 degrees. Users in the reviews confirm the tightness of the panel at the IP65 level – when used outdoors in the rain, no water gets inside, and the glass bulb does not fog up. Among small floodlights, this one stands out for its low weight of 1.3 kg, as well as for its very affordable price.

Our experts recommend this floodlight as the best for summer cottages due to the ability to work correctly at an input voltage of 170 V. Usually, summer cottages are connected to a weak power line and there are rarely standard 220 V in the outlet. With this lamp, it will be light in the yard, the bridge will not burn out prematurely.

Advantages

• simple device;
• unpretentious in the street;
• sealed construction;
• 3 year warranty.

The model is endowed with a power of 50 W and generates a luminous flux with a brightness of 3400 lumens. The radiation temperature is 6500 K and gives a pure white light without yellowness. LED elements are placed in an aluminum frame with a reflector, and they are mounted on a U-shaped bracket in any spatial position. Judging by customer reviews, here are “honest” 50 W, and not just an advertising move by the manufacturer.

We recognized the outdoor model as the best in terms of heat dissipation. For this, it has high metal ribs on the back wall, through which excess temperature leaves the device faster.

Advantages

• crystal white light, like snow on the ground;
• economical energy consumption;
• affordable cost;
• corresponds to the declared technical characteristics.

LLT SDO-5-10 PRO (10W 6500K 750Lm)

Rating: 4.0

On the penultimate place in the review is a network floodlight with compact dimensions of 10x9x2.3 cm. It is made entirely of plastic and supplemented with a steel frame with holes for fixing. 13 LED elements deliver a luminous flux of 950 lumens, while consuming only 10 watts of power. The manufacturer promises a lamp life of 30 thousand hours. Due to the plastic parts, the lamp weighs only 400 g, so it can be attached to literally any branch or wooden plank outdoors. In the reviews, the device is also praised for its lightness and bright cold light, but they say that some flickering is visible, so it will be uncomfortable to perform responsible work under its light and it is better to choose another product.

This is the cheapest option for a street spotlight, which is useful for placing on the street above the garage or near the entrance. Even if stolen, the loss will be negligible.
