Integrated LED floodlights are similar to their HID predecessors in that they are designed in a self-contained system. This type of LED floodlight is designed to accommodate light engines with system wattages typically below 300 watts. The electrical system and LED components are housed in a hermetically sealed die-cast aluminum housing. Previous generations of LED floodlights replicated the form factor of HID systems, which were often bulky and awkward in appearance. Modern integrated LED floodlights tend to have organic designs and sleek forms. The perfect integration of all elements into the structure ensures that these visually appealing luminaires offer great aesthetic value essential to enhancing the built environment and landscape design.
Modular floodlighting systems offer a wide range of options and customization with scalable architecture. The basic building block of these LED floodlights is the modular engine, which includes all elements of the system except the power supply. The modular architecture allows a variable number of light engines to be mounted on a bracket or fixed to a frame to provide the lumen package and light distribution required to meet design specifications. LED drivers and other electronic components are often attached to the back of the light fixture. Waterproof drives are either exposed outdoors or enclosed in a sealed PSU for extra protection. The modular design offers the advantages of lumen package scalability, adjustable beam direction per module, and easy maintenance and replacement.
