Compare LED Flood Worklights and Spotlights

LED floodlights and LED spotlights are two of the most popular lights used in many commercial applications. They offer high performance and significant energy efficiency, which makes them very helpful in reducing energy costs. However, there is often confusion between these two types of lights, and AUTOTOOLDEPOT shows you how to choose from them.

A floodlight is a high intensity light with a wide beam spread. Its beam spread can range from 45 degrees to 120 degrees, making it suitable for outdoor applications. On the other hand, spotlights have a relatively narrow beam range, usually less than 45 degrees. For example, most spotlights have a beam angle of less than 25 degrees. It is more focused and compatible with both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Here are some of the main differences between these two types of lights.

Light Level

The LED floodlight provides highly diffused and scattered lighting. It throws light in all directions and illuminates all spaces within its range evenly. On the other hand, the LED spotlight provides a direct and precisely focused effect. It does not fill the entire commercial area with uniform illumination, but can focus on defined objects without any glare.   

Beam Angle

Beam angle can be defined as the angle or width at which the LED luminaire emits or distributes light. Simply put, it is the angle formed between two opposing points of the optical axis. This is the main factor that distinguishes LED floodlights from LED spotlights. As mentioned earlier, LED floodlights provide a wider and more intense spread of light than LED spotlights.

Floodlights produce a wash effect, while LED spotlights produce a "spot-like" lighting effect. However, spotlights provide brighter illumination than floodlights.

Areas of application

LED floodlights are industrial lighting solutions that are ideal for large outdoor commercial spaces such as shipyards, stadiums, parking lots and driveways. Very often, they are used as indoor lighting solutions for large spaces, such as warehouses and storage facilities. LED spotlights, on the other hand, are more flexible and therefore suitable for a wide range of applications and spaces. They are suitable for smaller areas such as exhibitions, museums and fairs where lighting is needed to highlight various displays such as countries, paintings, artifacts, etc.

Both floodlights and spotlights are state-of-the-art LED lighting solutions that can effectively meet all the needs and requirements of a space. However, they have unique features and can only perform excellently when installed correctly in the right area. Please contact us for solutions, we have floodlight work lights for sale.
