The LED floodlights market has been gaining momentum in recent years, and with many contractors now safely back on site, Red Arrow has been working on new developments to keep up with the demand.

Floodlights add security to outdoor areas of a home, outbuildings, sports arenas, car parks, airports and business premises. They are also used to temporarily illuminate building sites. However, there are installation restrictions, and floodlights will need to be changed if they are causing artificial light nuisance or light pollution. This can be a costly exercise for electricians should they need to make changes once the floodlights are in place.

When tasked with providing exterior lighting for one of the UK’s new Nightingale Hospitals, Red Arrow were faced with the challenge of finding products that were robust, high quality and functional while also ensuring light pollution was kept to a minimum.

The project was successfully completed with its SMD floodlights – a range of tough and sturdy aluminium LED floodlights – along with their Diecast LED Circular Bulkheads for the emergency lighting requirement. The result? An aesthetically pleasing finish and a secure, safe lighting installation.

Which products for your project?

While customers don’t need to apply for planning permission, floodlights can be harmful to wildlife and people’s wellbeing, so it’s vital that the intensity and direction of light doesn’t disturb others. This means that beams should not be pointed directly at windows in residential or commercial areas, and security lights fitted with PIRs should be adjusted to minimise nuisance.

But whether you’re installing floodlights on a new development, proposing a change to an existing building, or using temporary site lighting, Red Arrow’s range of flood lights are made for the job.
