LED floodlights are powerful outdoor lighting fixtures that flood large areas with broad-beam illumination. Unlike standard lights, floodlights produce beam angles between 45 and 120 degrees, making them essential for security, sports facilities, car parks, and commercial yards across Australia.
Modern LED technology has revolutionised floodlighting. These fixtures convert electricity directly into light with minimal heat waste. For electricians and property owners, this means dramatically lower running costs and virtually no maintenance for decades.
Selecting the correct floodlight requires understanding five key specifications. Each impacts performance, longevity, and suitability for your specific application.
Lumens measure actual light output. Watts measure power consumption. A 30W LED floodlight produces 3,000 lumens, equivalent to a 250W halogen consuming 90% more energy.
For residential driveways, aim for 2,000-5,000 lumens. Commercial car parks require 8,000-15,000 lumens. Check lumen output first, not wattage.
All outdoor floodlights must be rated IP65 minimum for Australian installation. The first digit (6) confirms total dust protection. The second digit (5) ensures protection against water jets from any direction.
Coastal locations benefit from IP66 rating, offering superior protection against powerful water jets and salt spray.
Measured in Kelvin, colour temperature determines light appearance:
Many modern floodlights feature tri-colour technology, allowing you to switch between 3000K, 4000K, and 6500K.
Wider beams (100-120 degrees) suit general area lighting like driveways and backyards. Narrower beams (45-60 degrees) work better for highlighting specific features or distant objects.
PIR (Passive Infrared) sensors detect movement, activating lights only when needed. This saves energy and provides enhanced security by surprising intruders. Adjustable sensitivity prevents false triggers from small animals or wind-blown foliage.
LED efficiency means lower wattages deliver exceptional brightness. Understanding the relationship between wattage, lumens, and coverage area ensures proper lighting levels.
| LED Wattage | Lumen Output | Halogen Equivalent | Coverage Area | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20W | 2,000 lm | 150W halogen | 15-20 m² | Small patios, doorways, side entrances |
| 30W | 3,000 lm | 250W halogen | 25-35 m² | Residential driveways, small yards |
| 50W | 5,000 lm | 400W halogen | 40-60 m² | Large backyards, garage areas, small car parks |
| 100W | 10,000 lm | 750W halogen | 80-120 m² | Commercial yards, sports courts, warehouses |
| 150W+ | 15,000+ lm | 1000W+ halogen | 150+ m² | Industrial sites, stadiums, large car parks |
Higher mounting positions require greater wattage to maintain ground-level illumination. A 50W fixture at 3 metres height illuminates 50 m². The same fixture at 6 metres covers only 30 m² effectively. Consider mounting height when specifying wattage.
LED floodlights with motion sensors provide effective perimeter security for residential and commercial properties. Sudden illumination deters intruders while conserving energy during unoccupied hours.
Homeowners install motion-activated floodlights at vulnerable entry points. Key positions include side gates, rear yards, driveways, and dark corners where intruders could hide. A 20-30W PIR sensor floodlight provides sufficient deterrent for most homes.
Businesses require higher-wattage fixtures covering loading docks, storage yards, and car parks. Multiple 50-100W floodlights create overlapping coverage zones, eliminating hiding spots and ensuring CCTV cameras capture clear footage.
Modern PIR sensors include three adjustments:
The lighting industry has transitioned decisively to LED technology. Understanding why halogen floodlights are obsolete helps justify upgrade costs.
| Feature | LED Floodlights | Halogen Floodlights | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy Consumption | 30W for 3,000 lm | 250W for 3,000 lm | LED (88% saving) |
| Lifespan | 50,000+ hours (17 years at 8 hrs/day) | 2,000 hours (8 months at 8 hrs/day) | LED (25x longer) |
| Running Costs (Annual Estimate @.33c/KW) | $14.45 (30W at 4 hrs/day) | $120.45 (250W at 4 hrs/day) | LED ($106/year saving) |
| Heat Output | Minimal (warm to touch) | Extreme (burns on contact) | LED (safer) |
| Instant On | Full brightness immediately | Full brightness immediately | Equal |
| Dimming Capability | Yes (if specified) | Yes | Equal |
| Environmental Impact | No mercury, fully recyclable | Glass and pressurised gas | LED |
| Maintenance | None for 15+ years | Bulb replacement every 8 months | LED |
Return on Investment: A 30W LED floodlight saves $106 annually compared to an equivalent halogen. With purchase prices ranging from $35 to $ 75, payback is typically achieved within 6-12 months through energy savings alone. Factor in eliminated bulb replacement costs and reduced maintenance, and LED becomes the only viable choice.

Domus manufactures commercial-grade floodlights for demanding applications. The Blaze Pro Marine series achieves IP66 rating with stainless steel fixings, essential for coastal installations where salt corrosion destroys standard fixtures.
ILD's Hurricane range provides exceptional value for residential projects, featuring IK08 impact resistance and three-year warranties at budget-friendly prices.
The IP (Ingress Protection) rating system uses two digits to specify protection against solid objects and liquids. Australian outdoor installations require minimum IP65 rating.
The first digit rates dust protection on a 0-6 scale. Only rating 6 provides complete dust sealing suitable for outdoor use. Lower ratings allow dust ingress that degrades LEDs and electrical components over time.
The second digit rates water protection on a 0-9 scale:
Properties within 1 km of saltwater require IP66-rated fittings with marine-grade stainless steel fixings. Standard IP65 fixtures with zinc-plated fixings corrode within 2-3 years in coastal environments. The Domus Marine series addresses this specifically.
All fixed electrical wiring in Australia must be performed by licensed electricians. This section outlines the mounting process and materials electricians require.
Electricians need specific equipment for proper floodlight installation:
The electrician selects mounting positions offering optimal coverage whilst accessing power supply. Holes are drilled into masonry using the bracket as a template. Green plugs are inserted flush with the surface.
The bracket is secured firmly to the wall. Once wired through appropriate circuit protection, the floodlight body is attached to the bracket. Final positioning ensures the beam directs precisely where needed without causing glare to neighbours or passing traffic.
Compliance Note: AS/NZS 3000:2018 (Australian Wiring Rules) specifies outdoor lighting must be installed on appropriate circuit protection. RCD protection is mandatory for outdoor circuits in most installations. Licensed electricians ensure compliance with all relevant standards.

Great light for the price. Puts out a nice light over a good area.
SKE: ILD-XFLE50
A fantastic light. Bought one initially to see what it was like. With 3 variations to wattage and colour all within the one light makes for the perfect compromise. Being completely Off-Grid we're focused on low wattage and at 15W this light puts out a fantastic amount of light using the Daylight colour spectrum. I'm going to buy more.
SKU: CLITPFL30PSC
Easy to install, lightweight light with a great output. Also great to have the option to choose the colour setting.

A 30-50W LED floodlight works best for most home driveways. A 30W LED gives you 3,000 lumens (that's really bright) and covers about 25-35 square metres. If you have a bigger area, go for 50W which covers 40-60 square metres. Look for IP65 rating so it handles rain properly.
LED floodlights cost $25-$260 depending on size. A 30W LED costs about $14.44 per year to run (4 hours daily @$0.33 per Kw/H), while an old-style halogen costs $120.45 per year. LEDs pay for themselves easily within 6-12 months through lower power bills and last 15+ years.
Top brands include Clipsal (premium quality, 5-year warranty), SAL Lighting (great value, tough construction), and Domus (excellent for coastal areas). All good brands have IP65+ ratings which means they handle rain and weather properly.
IP65 is the minimum for outdoor lights - it keeps out dust and handles heavy rain. IP66 is better for really exposed spots or coastal areas near the ocean. The number tells you how waterproof it is. Higher number = better protection.
Tri-colour lights let you switch between warm white (cosy yellow), cool white (bright white), and daylight (super bright blue-white) using a switch. Fixed colour means you're stuck with one colour. Tri-colour gives you options for different situations without buying new lights.
LED floodlights with motion sensors turn on automatically when they detect movement. This scares away intruders because they suddenly get lit up. Install 20-30W sensor lights at side gates, backyards, and driveways. They detect people up to 12 metres away and turn on instantly.
Lumens = how bright the light actually is. Watts = how much power it uses. A 30W LED makes 3,000 lumens - the same brightness as a 250W old bulb but uses 88% less electricity. Always check lumens first to know how bright it'll be, then check watts to know running costs.
If it plugs into an existing outdoor socket, you can do it yourself. If it needs to be wired into your house's electrical system, you legally need a licensed electrician. Most installations need an electrician - expect to pay $150-300 for professional installation.
Quality LED floodlights last 50,000+ hours - that's 15-17 years if you use them 8 hours every day. Old halogen bulbs only last 2,000 hours (about 8 months). LEDs don't have fragile parts that break easily, so they keep working for years.
Beam angle = how wide the light spreads. 100-120° (wide beam) works for driveways, backyards, and patios - gives even coverage everywhere. 45-60° (narrow beam) works for lighting up specific things or distant objects. Most home floodlights use 120° for general lighting.
IP65: First number (6) = completely dustproof. Second number (5) = handles water jets from any direction. IK08 = impact resistant, can handle being knocked or hit by hail. Both ratings together mean the light is tough and weatherproof.
PIR sensors detect the movement of people or animals. When they sense movement, the light turns on. You can adjust three things: when it activates (day/night), how long it stays on (10 seconds to 12 minutes), and how sensitive it is (so leaves don't trigger it, but people do).
Floodlights = wide, powerful light (2,000-10,000+ lumens) that floods large areas like driveways and yards. Downlights = focused, softer light (500-1,200 lumens) for ceilings and small spots. Use floodlights for security and big areas. Use downlights for patios and decorative lighting.
Yes! Solar LED floodlights have built-in solar panels and batteries. The sun charges them during the day, they run for 6-12 hours at night. Perfect for areas without power outlets like sheds, gates, or remote spots. Regular LED floodlights can also run on solar systems with the right setup. Buy solar LED Floodlights from Sparky Direct.
