Know more about Solar Flood Lights
If you have no idea before that solar flood lights can actually be used at home and businesses, then Zest Lighting will present it here.
Floodlights typically have a wide beam angle, making them ideal for lighting large areas mostly in billboards, squares, construction sites, football fields, and concert arenas. But homeowners these days use them to light up their small outdoor areas that include their garden and swimming pool area.
You heard it right; it is at the top of the list of the best options for improving the outdoor security of residential and commercial properties. That is the power of outdoor lighting with solar flood lights, to deter criminal activity in your business or home.
Another great thing about solar LED floodlights for businesses is it increases the level of safety for their customers. The lights will light up the area, making it more inviting for shoppers and customers to visit, shop, or dine in.
Solar LED Floodlights
The old floodlights used a lot of power and needed to be plugged in. They required professionals to install them, and they were expensive. So these shortcomings prompted the creation of more effective LED Solar Floodlights. You will find in our collection that our flood lights includes LED technology.
They are extremely bright and have no operating costs. Installation is done anywhere in the sun's reach at a 45-degree angle, and professional services are not required because power mains access is not required. The LED lamp in the solar floodlights uses less energy and requires less maintenance.
Features of Solar Flood Lights
Dusk to Dawn
The lights automatically turn on after the sun sets and manual switching is no longer required. Their activation at night is through two ways: photo-eye and a voltage sensor. This is why it is recommended that you get solar-powered floodlights with dusk-to-dawn sensors so the light is already on when you come home at night.
Motion Sensor
Motion sensor LED floodlights are one of the most popular options for house front door lights. They switch on when they detect motion which makes it energy efficient. Solar flood lights with motion sensor features can be used to keep an eye on your home and deter burglars by catching them off-guard.
Remote Controls
Solar floodlights with remote control allow you to operate them remotely from a distance of up to 16.4 ft. This is common in high-end solar floodlights. They switch to 4 modes, allowing you to control them however you want. This outdoor lighting can be mounted on a pole, post, or wall, and is controlled by a remote, providing beautiful illumination suitable for landscaping and yard.
Types of Solar Flood Lights
Standalone Solar LED Floodlight (1-piece)
These are self-contained units that have a solar panel, battery, and LED light built into one unit. They are easy to install and do not require any wiring. Because of their simplicity, they're ideal for homeowners who only want to add outdoor lighting without spending more money and putting much effort into the installation.
Split Solar Powered Floodlights (2-pieces)
The split-type solar floodlights are currently popular in the market. They consist of a controller and a battery built into the LED floodlight which is connected to a solar panel. This means that the solar panels are separated in this type of solar floodlight and wiring is needed for installation.
This makes the process complex and less appealing. Also, most of these are DIY types that require knowledge about solar panels.
