The difference between LED flood light and fluorescent light

In some occasions, both choose to install LED floodlights, and some choose to install fluorescent lamps, so can the two replace each other?

Floodlights are lamps that specify that the illuminance on the illuminated surface is higher than that of the surrounding environment. Also called spotlight. In general, it is capable of aiming in any direction and has a structure that is not affected by climatic conditions.


Compared with fluorescent lamps, LED flood lights have higher quality requirements, longer life, and can be installed outdoors, with certain decorative effects and greater light intensity. LED flood light is also called spotlight, its light can be aimed at any place, in addition to being used in garages, indoor sports fields, tunnels and other places, it is also used for outdoor lighting. LED floodlights have certain requirements for waterproof and dustproof functions, that is, IP protection level. At present, LED floodlights on the market are generally above IP65. And in the design of the heat dissipation structure, the heat dissipation effect is better than that of the general structure design, which ensures the service life of the LED, and the air flow heat dissipation channel is also added in the structure design. The obvious difference from fluorescent lamps is that floodlights are generally used in places where large-area lighting is required, and there are higher requirements for lighting and quality of lamps. Mainly used for large-area mines, stadiums, overpasses, monuments, parks and flower beds.


Fluorescent lamps, also known as fluorescent lamps. The traditional fluorescent lamp is the low-pressure mercury lamp, which uses the low-pressure mercury vapor to release ultraviolet rays after being energized, so that the phosphor emits visible light, so it belongs to the low-pressure arc discharge light source.


To sum up, LED floodlights have heavy decorative components, and their appearance and light color are also more changeable, while fluorescent lamps have a limited range of illumination, which is more suitable for indoor lighting.
