LED Floodlight Wattage Guide for Gates, Warehouses and Hoardings
Which LED floodlight wattage do you need? A simple guide for gates, parking, warehouses, hoardings and gardens, with tips on IP rating and beam angle.
Choosing a floodlight by wattage alone is a common mistake. The right choice depends on the area, mounting height and what you need to see. Use this guide as a starting point.
Rough wattage guide
| Use | Typical starting range |
|---|---|
| Home gate, small garden | 10W to 30W |
| Driveway, shop front, signboard | 30W to 50W |
| Parking, yard, small warehouse | 50W to 100W |
| Large yard, hoarding, factory front | 100W and above, or several lights |
These are general starting points. Mounting height, spacing and the surface you are lighting change the answer.
What else to check
- IP rating: IP65 or higher is suited to outdoor rain and dust.
- Beam angle: a wide beam covers more area; a narrow beam reaches farther.
- Colour temperature: 6000K cool white looks bright and clear; 3000K warm white feels softer for gardens.
- Driver quality: a good driver protects against voltage fluctuation.
- Body material: die-cast aluminium handles heat well.
Installation tips
Mount the light so it does not shine into neighbours’ windows or the eyes of passers-by. Angle it slightly downward, and use a proper weatherproof junction for the cable.
