1. How high should LED street lights be installed?
Generally, the height of street light poles ranges from 3 meters to 14 meters, depending on design requirements. For major roads in large cities, street light poles of 8 meters or higher are typically chosen, while residential roads may require poles of 6 meters or less. Depending on the wattage of LED street lights, installation heights generally range from 8 to 12 meters for 150W and 200W models, or 6 meters for 50W and 80W models. Most street lights are installed at a height of 15 to 20 feet above the road surface to balance vehicle passage and ground lighting requirements.
2. Which led outdoor flood lights to use？
Outdoor LED floodlights come in various types for different applications:
Standard LED Floodlights: for general lighting like parking lots.
RGB LED Floodlights: for colorful effects at events or landscapes.
Motion Sensor LED Floodlights: for security in driveways or pathways.
Solar LED Floodlights: eco-friendly lighting for remote areas.
High-Power LED Floodlights: intense illumination for stadiums.
Architectural Floodlights: highlight architectural features.
Commercial LED Floodlights: durable lighting for industrial settings.
3. Why do led flood lights flicker?
LED floodlights can flicker due to various reasons:
LED chips: Low-quality LED chips or improper LED driving power specifications can cause flickering, sometimes leading to chip failure.
LED driver: Insufficient electrolytic capacity in the LED driver can result in inconsistent output currents and voltages, leading to flickering.
High temperature: Inadequate heat dissipation in floodlight housings can trigger the driver's over-temperature protection, causing flickering.
Water ingress: Outdoor floodlights are prone to water ingress, which can corrode LED chips and cause flickering.
4. Are led flood lights dimmable?
LED floodlights can be dimmed, but not all of them. You must check the product specifications to determine if dimming is supported. If LED floodlights do not support dimming, please do not use any dimmers, as they may cause damage. There are three dimming options available: PWM dimming, 0/1-10V dimming, and DALI dimming. If you want to dim the lights, you must use these dimmable floodlight fixtures.
5. How to install led flood light ?
Common LED floodlight wattages range from 10W to 2000W, with specific applications and luminous flux requirements. For example:
Garden/Backyard: 10-50W, 800-5000 lumens, mounted height 3-5 meters.
Tennis court: 150-250W, 18000-30000 lumens, mounted height 8-10 meters.
Roadway: 30-250W, 3000-30000 lumens, mounted height 6-14 meters.
Tunnel: 50-200W, 6000-24000 lumens, mounted height 6-8 meters.
Football field: 500-1000W, 60000-150000 lumens, mounted height 10-20 meters.
Parking lots: 100-150W, 10000-18000 lumens, mounted height 6-8 meters.
Overpass: 400-2000W, 50000-180000 lumens, mounted height 15-30 meters.
