Everything You Need to Know About LEDs

When it comes to LED heads for your construction lighting, you have several options to customize your light.

​LED heads are not one size fits all: there are thousands of LED lighting models to choose from based on your needs.

If you are working on a construction site, knowing the different types of LED heads is important to revolve your lighting type around the specialized task required.

​From specific, point lighting to broad sight lines, there exists an LED head to help you get the job done.

There are 3 main types of beam spreads:

• Flood
• Spot
• Hybrid (AKA Combination)

​Read below to learn more about each kind of beam spread and what their best suited for.

LED Spotlights

✔️ Focused Bright Light     
✔️ Good for Small Areas

❌ Smaller Throw Distance
​❌ Bad for Open Areas

Spotlights focus all their power onto a small area to provide you the highest amount of brightness possible; they are intended for single target applications. When performing a task where the ability to see clearly is paramount in a small working area, spotlights are the best choice.
​
​When working in a confined area intensively, spotlights are a necessary asset to ensure the job is done right at times or in locations where natural light is scarce.

LED Floodlights

✔️ Large Beam Spread     
✔️ Large Throw Distance    ​

❌ Less Bright

Floodlights canvas a large area with high throw distance, spread, and great luminosity. While they will not provide the same brightness as a spotlight on a specific object, they will raise the visibility of an entire area on a jobsite. In the area of operations, floodlights are critical to ensuring your safety and the safety of your workers.

​To ensure the entirety of your workplace can be seen, especially areas where movement of materials and people are prevalent, floodlights are a necessary element.

LED Hybrid Lights

✔️ Adjust to your needs  
✔️ Bright light & large light coverage

Hybrid lights combine the best of both worlds, giving users the opportunity to utilize spotlight capabilities to highlight specific objects or a floodlight option over a widespread area. For multiheaded lights, such as adjustable quad lights, hybrid lights are excellent to perform tasks with precision while providing protection about the vicinity.

​For workers whose work takes place in the middle of a dynamic area, hybrid lights are a tool to keep them safe, both from their surroundings and in their engagement in work.
