400W LED Flood Lights

What are the differences between stadium lights and backyard flood lights?

As you may know, stadium lights are:

• high-power
• bright light sources used to light up spacious areas (a football field, sports stadium, etc.)
• usually, a group of lights
• on high mast poles

Indeed, most backyard flood lights:

• are low-power
• light up a small area
• have just one or two luminaries at best
• dangle from the roof of a house

In brief, this product comes with a peculiar design. Thanks to a multi-angle rotation adjustment, the installation is flexible. You will understand more about its versatility as you keep reading about the feature that interests you the most.

Features of this LED stadium light

1. 400W high lumen output

When discussing brightness, the lumen output is a necessary value. Usually, we link the lumen output to energy consumption. But LED products are more energy-efficient than previous stadium lights.

This 400W flood light emits 72,000 lumens. So, it can light up the entire backyard or stadium without any problem. In the latter case, you will need up to four fixtures according to the stadium light layout.

You get 180 lumens out of every watt of power. In other words, it is an efficient product that competes with some entry-level professional stadium lights. But at a fraction of the cost.

2. Broad beam angle

The multi-angle rotation adjustment lets you take full advantage of its broad beam angle. In fact, you get a 120 degrees angle to cover a large area.

At the same time, this LED product reduces the thermal load for a glare-free effect. In the end, the luminaire gives you uniform lighting which is essential for most sports lighting levels.

If you install it in the backyard, a broad, glare-free angle is ideal for a barbeque. Besides, you can save on the electric bill by installing just the LED panels you need as you can read below.

3. Rotational adjustment

As noted before, you can adjust the tilting angle of each LED module. This is important because it fits sports fields of different sizes and shapes.

Thanks to a 270-degree movement, you can install it on a high mast in varying positions. For example, you can add a couple fixtures to increase the vertical illuminance in a baseball stadium. This also helps to achieve a better vertical uniformity.

But you can place this 400W LED light on an outer wall at home as well. Better yet, install it horizontally. Then, tilt the base in a way so that the light covers the whole backyard.

4. Modular design (great for a DIY installation)

A single 400W LED flood light has four 100W modules. To be precise, you can even switch them on and off individually.

You can also assembly the parts just as you like more. For instance, you can install only two 100W modules if it is too bright.

When you install fewer modules, the LED lights consume less power. So, you can halve the power consumption by installing only two panels. Of course, you can still use the remaining panels as replacements if something bad happens.

5. Heat dissipation system

Even in a LED stadium light, the temperature rises fast. Luckily, the better the heat dissipation system, the fewer the issues.

This flood light comes with high-quality thermal management materials. Plus, many blades on the back of the lights provide a large surface area.

The hot air easily escapes as the metal heat sink transmits the heat away from the lamp to the surrounding. Which also helps protect the lamp from overheating.

A multi-piece heat dissipation system spread the heat out even further in order to optimize the convection and radiation. More importantly, the cables are securely connected at the side to prevent shedding. So, the whole apparatus will last longer and ensure a longer life span of the LED module.

6. IP67 waterproof rating

The rating IP67 means that this LED flood light is fully protected against dust and water infiltrations.

If you plan to place this sports light in your backyard for home training sessions, waterproof devices are necessary. After all, you should not worry about the light going out because of heavy rain. Neither you should run to take the light fixtures down if a storm approaches.

Unlike a traditional stadium light, LED products can boast a flatter design. So, manufacturers can insulate the casing against dust and water easily. But not every product has a good IP rating. An IP67 offers adequate protection even in the sandiest beach-volley courts.

7. 150,000 hours life span

It is always good to take note of the product’s life span. After all, no sports light with an inferior life span can be a good quality luminary.

Then again, this LED flood light comes with a 5-year warranty. So, you can be sure that you will never experience any dimming issue for at least two years.

Where can we use 400W LED stadium lights?

Usually, you would use lightweight fixtures in any football field, tennis court, or horse arena. This 400W LED stadium light works great in a baseball stadium, golf course, cricket ground, and backyard as well.

Given its quick-to-install design, you can mount it in any batting cage, driving range, parking lot, and swimming pool area. Its anti-glare feature works perfectly at any distance.

How many 400 watt LED lights do I need?

Personally, we would suggest you use two pcs of 400W LED flood light for an acre. You should have no problem if you can install them on a 12-foot light pole.

If you plan to put them higher than that, we highly suggest you buy a separate Dusk to Dawn photocell. In this way, you can focus on finding the best spot without having to worry about other details.
