Outdoor lighting plays an important role in our daily lives, especially for those who need to work outdoors or play outdoors, who need ideal visual performance, and municipalities that seek better public safety and beautiful urban landscapes. Outdoor lighting can use 100w outdoor slim led floodlights, and typical outdoor lighting scenes include:
-Area lighting, such as squares, parking lots, seaports, airports, etc.
-Street lighting, such as the lighting of highways, streets, roads, sidewalks, etc.
-Landscape lighting, such as building exterior wall lighting, building outline decoration, etc.
-Advertising lighting, such as billboard lighting, sign lighting, etc.

Here, we summarize some practical lighting guidelines for typical outdoor lighting scenes to help achieve the ideal outdoor lighting effect.

1. LED flood light for sports lighting
Stadium lighting is a kind of fast-growing lighting. Adequate lighting is essential to ensure satisfactory sports events. Sports lighting has many lighting requirements, and EN12193 is very popular.

The EN12193 standard involves sports lighting to ensure good visual conditions for the transmission of athletes, athletes, referees, spectators and CTV. The following table shows its recommendations to ensure high-quality sports lighting.

Keeping in mind the required illuminance level, you only need to know the position of the lamp post, the installation height and the installation method, and then you can perform a simulation to check the lighting result before you can put it into practice. Please check the solution below for a 6-pole type III tennis court illuminated by 240W LED floodlights.

2. LED area lights for parking lot lighting

The parking lot is used for parking. Usually high brightness is not needed, 10-40lx is ideal for most places. But for car dealers, higher brightness up to 100lx is always welcome, because it helps to attract customers from far away.

For parking lot lighting, the type of LED area light distribution is an important factor to consider. For the fixed device installed in the parking lot, it is recommended to use a V-shaped distribution pattern, because it can cover a larger area and has good uniformity. For lighting lamps installed outside the parking lot, it is recommended to use Type III and Type IV to avoid unnecessary backward watering when covering a large area.

The following figure shows the lighting mode specified by IESNA:

3. LED street lamps for street lamps have many regulations regarding street lamps. In short, depending on traffic conditions and safety considerations, street lighting illuminance varies from 3lx to 30lx. The distribution mode of street lamps is usually type II, type III and type V.

4. LED floodlight for building facade lighting

Exterior lighting is an advanced solution that can enhance the overall appearance of building facades, bridges, monuments, etc. and display it in a more attractive way. The lux level may depend on the environment and ranges from 50-500lx.

The beam angle is always very important for facade lighting, because the precise beam angle can effectively avoid the waste of light and focus more light on the target to achieve the desired lighting effect. Check the lighting of the external wall of the building with 30w LED flood light (medium beam angle) below the reference.

5. Outdoor advertising of LED floodlights used for advertising lighting is almost everywhere, so the demand for advertising lighting is everywhere, the most common is billboard lighting and sign lighting. Billboards and signs have different sizes, the most common length is usually 7m, 11m, 15m, 18m, and the height is about 3m, 4m and 6m. The required lux level is at least 150lx, usually ranging from 200lx to 2000lx depending on the specific job requirements.

Always remember to choose the most suitable beam angle for billboards and signs. Professional lenses can not only increase the visibility of billboard content, but also save more energy and avoid light pollution. Check the 11m X 3.7m billboard below, which is equipped with three 70w LED flood lights, and the lighting is even.
