Types of Outdoor Flood Lights - Which Type Suits You Best?

Variety of Choice When Buying Outdoor Flood Lights

There are many different types of outdoor flood lights currently on the market, ranging from the smaller, single bulb that can cost as little as $7 to the larger florescent or halogen bulb lights, costing around $60, that are capable of lighting up an entire yard.

If you are looking for a small spotlight to lighten a specific outdoor area or to highlight a distinct object outdoors you may find that all you need is a single bulb. A small adjustable single or double bulb outdoor adjustable made by Craftmade International, Inc. costs $7. This aluminum finished outdoor light is weather resistant.

A slightly larger light, the Quorum Lighting 690-2-5 - Decorative 2 Par Lamp Wall Mount, which takes two 150w light bulbs, is also weather resistant and suitable for wet locations. If you are hoping to light up a fairly large area, you may need to install several of these units in strategic locations around your yard. Each unit would cost $37. A similar light, the Sea Gull Lighting 8607-12 2 Light Swivel Flood Security, sells for around the same price. These types of lights are great to install on the corner of a building, as you can adjust the dual lamps to shine around the corner in either direction.

If you are looking for a larger unit you may be interested in the Hinkley Lighting 57000BZ, which is a larger 120V light fixture which will take up to a 75 watt halogen bulb. The light fixture itself is nine and a half inches wide and it has a tempered, heat resistant flat glass lens. Currently this is retailing for around $56.

Rab Lighting produce a very good flood light, the PLF39 3 Light Flood Light, which sells for $67. This energy saver uses compact fluorescent twin bulbs, and the light itself is built to last under any weather conditions. The swivel head allows it to be turned to highlight any direction.

Next, depending on your needs, it is relatively easy to find any type of outdoor flood light with prices rarely climbing above $70 per unit. The larger the actual light, the less units you will need to place outside.
