How Many LED Lumens Do You Need to Replace Metal Halide and Halogen Flood Lights?

It depends on the power of your existing flood lights. We can easily match and replace the lumen output of almost every standard halogen and metal halide bulb with a one-for-one LED equivalent light.

The lumen output, although less with LED, will result in the same or better lighting because LED is a directional, high-quality light source. Here are some LED replacement guidelines to follow:

• 250-Watt HID / Metal Halide:  9,000 – 12,000 lumens
• 400-Watt HID / Metal Halide: 15,000 – 25,000 lumens
• 1000-Watt HID / Metal Halide: 35,000 – 50,000 lumens
• 1500-Watt + HID / Metal Halide: 50,000 – 90,000 lumens

What Type of LED Lighting Supply Commercial Flood Lights Are Best for You?

• Dusk To Dawn Flood Lights: These flood lights turn on at dusk and off at dawn using a photocell.
• LED Flood Lights with Yoke Mount: LED flood lights with a yoke mount option. This is the standard mount for large flood lights designed to light up large areas and sports fields.
• LED Flood Lights with Knuckle Mount: LED flood lights with a knuckle mount option. This is found on lower-wattage LED flood lights and is a common mounting option into a junction box.
• LED Flood Light with Slip Fitter Mount: LED flood light with slip fitter mount option. These are typically found on pole mounts with bullhorn extensions. Common in parking lots and as security lighting applications.
• Color Adjustable Flood Lights: Onboard toggle switches allow you to select  the color temperature you like best
• Wattage Adjustable Flood Lights: Onboard toggle switches allow you to pick the appropriate lumen output.
• Hazardous-Location Flood Lights: These flood lights are designed to work in dangerous, explosive environments. They are tested under UL844 explosive testing standards. Never use a normal flood light in an environment that requires a hazardous location fixture.
• High-Power LED Flood Lights: These flood lights are designed to replace high-power flood and sports lighting fixtures. We offer fixtures rated to replace 2000 Watts Metal Halide and can easily replace 1000 Watt and 1500 Watt Metal Halide flood lights.
• High Voltage Flood Lights: These flood lights are equipped with 277-480 Volt LED drivers. These drivers can handle both single-phase and 3-phase installations.
• Marine-Grade LED Flood Lights: These flood lights have a marine-grade finish that allows them to work in saltwater conditions.

LED Flood Lights FAQ

What are LED Flood Lights?

An LED Flood Light is a pole-mounted, wall-mounted flood light, or roof-mounted energy-efficient LED fixture. They're designed to send a beam of light to a specific outside space that needs to be lit up. It's used as security lighting and it can light up parking lots. LED floodlights outdoors can also be used for sports courts and tennis courts using LED Sports Flood Lights. You'll find them lighting up baseball, and softball fields, and basketball courts. They're configurable with different beam angles from narrow to wide. This provides varied lighting options for different needs and requirements. They work particularly well as security lights in large open areas.

Are all LED Flood Lights Commercial Grade or Industrial Grade?

No. LED Flood lights are a broad category of many products. They include lower-wattage consumer products designed to add lights around the home. That is not what we sell. Our flood lights are commercial and industrial grade. Some have marine-grade coatings to withstand saltwater environments. We offer high-powered versions you can configure to replace sports field lighting.

What’s the Difference Between an LED Flood Light and a Spot Light?

The real difference between a flood light and a spotlight is the spread of the light beam they produce. Floodlights have wider beam angles meant to “flood” a large area with light. A spotlight has a narrowly focused beam pattern meant to throw a large amount of light out to a specific point. Some of our flood lights can do both.

What's the Difference Between Commercial LED Flood Lights and Stadium Lights?

There is a close resemblance between these two types of fixtures. In some cases, you can use floodlights in place of LED Stadium Lights. Stadium lighting is a powerful flood light and has a series of optional “tight” beam patterns. These include 10, 15, 30, 45, and 60 degree beam patterns. Its light can be pointing from high mounting points to specific areas of a field. A flood light can also be a high-power fixture. Its range of optics is not as narrow and it has wider options available.

What is the Life Expectancy of LED Flood Lights?

LED floodlights should last 10-15 years. This assumes running the light 12 hours a night, 365 days a year.

Whether you choose the 250-watt option, the 400-watt LED flood fixture, or a more powerful LED flood light solution, you should expect them to be low maintenance and provide reliable lighting for over a decade. This long-term efficiency guarantee will help you save money, time, and resources – without compromising on your outdoor lighting needs.

Can you Replace 400-watt and 1000-watt Metal Halide Flood Lights with LED?

We can replace 50 to 2000-watt metal halide fixtures one-for-one with LED. This can be done without installing many fixtures, adding new poles, or changing your wiring. And you should expect significant energy savings when you convert from Metal Halide to LED.

What are the Most Common Mounting Options with Commercial LED Flood Lights?

The most common flood light mounting options are knuckle mount, yoke mount, 1/2 in NPT mount, arm mount, slip fitter mount, and trunnion mount.

What are the Best Outdoor LED Flood Lights?

The best LED flood light is the one that fulfills your requirements. Flood lights are a defined light source and have many options, such as power, lumens, and beam angles. What works best for one lighting application may not be the right choice for another.

A lighting plan will help you find the best commercial flood option for your needs. It will show you the best lighting option for your area.

What are the Best Color Temperatures for LED Flood Lights?

By far the most popular are:

• 5000K Color Temperature – Bright White
• 4000K Color Temperature – Warm White
• 3000K Color Temperature - Very Warm Lighting

5000K Color Temperature is the best replacement for Metal Halide. If you’re looking for a warm color, then 4000K Color Temperature is a good choice. If you are looking to replace high-pressure sodium, then consider 3000K.

How Can You Reduce Glare on LED Flood Lights?

You should consider adding some side shields to the lights to block direct view of the light source. Side shields will greatly reduce glare from side viewing positions.
