Q: What Is A LED Flood Light Design / Lighting Plan?

An LED flood light design is a photometric lighting plan that shows exactly how well an area will be illuminated after LED flood lights are installed. The design calculates precise light levels in foot-candles , shows light distribution patterns, and identifies any dark spots or over-lit areas . We deliver detailed reports that help you determine if the lighting solution meets your specific requirements and local code compliance.

Q: When Do You Need To Do LED Flood Light Design?

We require basic site information, including area dimensions , mounting locations and heights , and any obstructions like buildings or trees. Our lighting engineers can work from site photos, simple sketches, or CAD drawings to create accurate designs. Having specific light level requirements or local code standards helps us optimize the design for your exact needs.

Q: What Is The Difference Between A Flood Light Calculator And Flood Light Design?

At LED Lighting Supply , we provide comprehensive photometric lighting plans instead of basic calculators. Online calculators give rough estimates but don't show actual light distribution patterns , identify hot spots or dark areas, or verify code compliance . Our professional designs include detailed light level maps, uniformity ratios, and fixture specifications for accurate installation.

Q: What Are The Typical Design Standards When Using Commercial Flood Lights?

IES lighting standards vary by application - perimeter security lighting typically requires 1-5 foot-candles average , while sports facilities need 30-100+ foot-candles . We design to meet specific standards, including uniformity ratios , glare control requirements, and local dark sky ordinances. Each high power flood light application has unique requirements that we address in the design process.

Q: How Many Lumens Are Required For Flood Lights Used In Commercial Or Industrial Locations?

Lumen requirements depend on area size and application - small loading docks may need 10,000-20,000 lumens total , while large parking lots require 100,000+ lumens distributed across multiple fixtures. We calculate exact lumen requirements based on desired foot-candle levels , mounting heights, and beam patterns to ensure optimal coverage without over-lighting.

Q: How Can I Reduce Glare From Flood Lights?

Install side shields or visors to block direct view of the light source, choose fixtures with precise beam control , and position lights to minimize direct viewing angles. We also recommend asymmetric beam patterns that direct light downward and away from neighboring properties, reducing both glare and light trespass issues.

Q: How Long Does It Take To Complete A Floodlight Design?

Most standard flood light designs are completed within 2-3 business days after receiving site information. Complex projects with multiple areas or special requirements may take 5-7 business days . We provide preliminary results quickly and include unlimited revisions to ensure the final design meets your exact needs.

Q: What Information Do I Need To Provide For An Accurate Lighting Design?

We need site dimensions or drawings , existing or planned mounting locations with heights, current lighting conditions, and your target light levels or application type . Photos of the area, utility locations, and any lighting restrictions or neighbor concerns help us create the most accurate and practical design solution.

Q: Can A Lighting Plan Help Me Meet Local Light Pollution Ordinances?

Yes, our designs specifically address dark sky compliance and light trespass limits required by local ordinances. We specify full cutoff fixtures , calculate border light levels to prevent spillover, and ensure installations meet BUG ratings (Backlight, Uplight, Glare) required by many municipalities for permit approval.
