LED Shooting Range Lights FAQs

What are the Best Types of LED Fixtures to Use for an Indoor Shooting Range?

One of the best types of lights is floodlighting. Powerful flood lighting mounts behind the shooter. And by using special, narrow-focus optics. It can point down range and light up the target. The lights can be mounted behind the shooters to avoid any chance of being hit by bullets or shrapnel.

What are the Best Types of LED Fixture to Use for Trap Shooting Range?

Trap shooting is another type of lighting that could be improved using flood lights. We calculate light levels in the vertical space at a specific distance from the shooter. As the trap flies through the air, it should be lit by the lighting behind the shooter. Trap shooting occurs at distances closer to the shooter than range shooting. Choosing flood lights with broader beam angles to lighten up a larger space is your best option.

What are the Best Types of LED Fixtures to Use for Outdoor LED Shooting Range?

The same type of powerful flood lighting fixtures is used in an outdoor shooting range. Floodlighting is mounted behind the shooter with the appropriate amount of light. And with the proper narrow focus optics will provide adequate down-range lighting.

Other alternatives would be to bury lights in the ground near the target so the targets are lit. Take care to bulletproof the enclosure containing the lights.

What is the Best Color Temperature for LED Shooting Range Lights?

We recommend either 4000K or 5000K lighting to light up a shooting range. It’s a bright, high-quality light source that resembles sunlight. 4000K is warmer than 5000K.

The LED Shooting Range Lights we’ve installed in shooting ranges are all IP-rated. This means they are waterproof and can withstand rain, snow, and washdowns. High-pressure washdowns are not needed, but if they are, consider a higher IP rating (IP68 or IP69K).
