Outdoor Flood Lights

There are many types of outdoor lighting fixtures to choose from and just as many manufacturers. Flood lights have many uses so you need to know how you plan to use the light before you purchase one. That is what we hope to assist you with here at Outdoor Flood Lights.

When most people think of outdoor flood lights the first thing that comes to mind is the standard double headed motion detector flood lights mounted over the garage. Flood lights continue to be used in this valuable way as security and safety lights for your driveway area. The growth of homeowners wanting to use their outdoor space in the evenings has designers and manufacturers creating new fixtures and ways to include flood lights in your outdoor lighting system. You can see this in lights being used for washing a wall in color, up-lighting into a large tree and as security lighting. The power sources that flood lights use will also vary anywhere from solar powered to a low-voltage system.
