Collection: Flood Lights

Total Light flood lights provide broader illumination for walls, planting areas, signs, hedges, and architectural surfaces where a wider spread of light is preferred. They are a practical choice for creating even coverage across larger features and can be combined with spotlights and other low-voltage fixtures to add layers and balance to an outdoor lighting design.

Choose a Wider Lighting Effect

Flood and wall-wash style lighting is useful when the goal is to illuminate a broader surface rather than create a tight accent beam. It can help reveal masonry, walls, hedges, planting masses, signs, and architectural areas with a more even spread of light.

Start by considering the width and height of the target, then position the fixture far enough away for the beam to develop across the surface. Small changes in aiming and distance can significantly affect uniformity, shadows, and glare, so final adjustment is best done after dark.

Combine Broad and Focused Light

A lighting plan does not need every fixture to create the same beam. Broader wash lighting can establish a background layer while spotlights or uplights emphasize individual trees and features. Review each product page in this collection for its exact light source, mounting method, and intended use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a flood light and a spotlight?

A flood or wall-wash effect spreads light across a broader area, while a spotlight concentrates light more tightly on a specific feature.

Where can broader landscape lighting be useful?

Common applications include walls, hedges, planting areas, signs, architectural surfaces, and other features that benefit from wider coverage.

How do I reduce hot spots on a wall or large surface?

Fixture distance, aiming angle, output, and beam spread all matter. Moving the fixture away from the surface and fine-tuning the aim after dark can help produce a more even effect.

Can flood-style lighting be combined with uplights and path lights?

Yes. Using different lighting effects together creates layers: broader light for overall surfaces, directional accents for focal features, and low-level path lighting for circulation areas.
