Are you looking for high-quality and powerful spotlights and spotlights for indoor and outdoor use? Here you will find all the information you need to choose the best way to illuminate large rooms, objects or areas. In industrial production, optimal lighting is a fundamental prerequisite for safety. This ensures efficiency and smooth process flows. Many of the headlights and spotlights offered by eibabo® are equipped with energy-saving LED technology or can be fitted with energy-efficient LED lamps.

Where are spotlights and spotlights used?

Powerful spotlights, floodlights and spotlights are not for the living room. They are mainly used where dark places need to be illuminated as brightly as possible. The spotlights are practical and robustly constructed and the design plays a subordinate role. The numerous industrial application areas include industrial plants, high-bay warehouses, production halls and workshops. Outside, for example, there are storage areas, entrance areas and delivery zones. Spotlights and floodlights are ideal for municipal use, for example for sports fields and street lighting. In the private environment, you can use it to illuminate your driveway, parking lots or backyards.

Which spotlight or spotlight is the right one for my needs?

The individual living conditions or different working conditions at your location ensure very different requirements. With the spotlights and spotlights from the eibabo® lighting range, you have the right lighting solution at hand. In this catalog you will find, for example, construction spotlights, area spotlights, spotlights, point spotlights or floodlights. Each of these models has individual characteristics.

Before you buy, ask yourself the following questions:

Am I looking for outdoor or indoor lighting?
How many spotlights do I need?
Do I need the spotlights privately, for business or in industry?
Do I want to illuminate small or large areas?
Are the radiators exposed to special conditions?
How important is power consumption?
Are motion detectors or other automations desired?
Should a radiator be permanently mounted or remain movable?

If you are looking for a spotlight or spotlight, many questions arise. We have put together the most frequently asked questions about spotlights and spotlights for you.

How do I find the best construction spotlight?

There are many factors that need to be considered when choosing a floodlight. We devote ourselves to the most important factors and help you to find the ideal floodlight for you. One of the main characteristics is performance. The number of lumens indicates how bright the spotlight shines. A performance of around 1000 to 2000 lumens is a guideline. However, you should not only pay attention to the number of lumens. If the radiator is mainly used in small rooms, the device can quickly dazzle. If an emitter can be positioned individually, 500 lumens can be sufficient. In large rooms and on construction sites, the light should usually be distributed over a wide area. Here you should choose a spotlight with 2000 lumens or more.

TIP:

The specification of the light output in watts is not meaningful. The technology used is crucial. Halogen bulbs have a lower light output per watt than LEDs.

The watt number indicates how much electrical power the radiator consumes. The higher the wattage, the more energy is required. However, this does not mean that the spotlight shines brighter. The decisive factor here is whether the spotlight works with halogen lamps or with LEDs. Models with halogen lamps consume a lot of electricity and produce a lot of light and heat. As a rule, power is supplied via a 230V socket. Construction spotlights with LED technology consume significantly less electricity with the same light output. Some models can therefore be operated with rechargeable batteries. If the floodlight is used outdoors, you should make sure that the device is waterproof. There are models that are suitable for use under water. In addition, a floodlight should be equipped with a carrying handle. This facilitates transport to the respective place of use. Watch the weight. Models with a tripod come in handy when you need to perform work at different heights.

How can spotlights and spotlights be mounted?

Most powerful spotlights and spotlights have a stable mounting bracket. Others offer an add-on console in which the electrical connection is also located. This means that it can be installed on almost any solid surface using screws, clamps or clamps. Depending on the location, walls, ceilings, trusses, masts, platforms or even the floor are suitable for attachment. In some cases pendulum suspension or recessed mounting is possible. We recommend having work on electrical systems carried out by a specialist electrical company.

Are the degrees of protection important for spotlights and headlights?

When used outdoors, compliance with certain protection classes is mandatory. Most spotlights and floodlights have high IP protection classes and IK protection classes. These are also necessary if the devices are used inside buildings. The IP degree of protection describes the protection against splash water or water jets as well as against dust, dirt and physical contact. The higher the number of the degree of protection, the better the device is protected. We recommend that you pay attention to the IP protection class. Experience has shown that the lights in industrial plants and production facilities are rarely cleaned of dust. Contact with splash water can occur at any time. The IK classification describes the protection against mechanical influences. This should be particularly high for spotlights and headlights. When used in production facilities or warehouses, it is easy for machine booms, cranes or forklifts to touch the lights.

What are the advantages of spotlights and spotlights with motion detectors?

Almost every product group on the lighting market is available with motion sensors. This also applies to spotlights and floodlights for private, commercial, municipal or industrial purposes. Motion detectors have the advantage that they only activate a spotlight when something is actually moving. Motion detectors help to save electricity. This is particularly useful in areas that do not require continuously active lighting. Classic examples are backyards, private parking lots, dark corridors or stairwells.

Which beam angle should I choose for spotlights and spotlights?

The beam angle or light cone is an important criterion for the choice of lighting. Depending on the application, a wide or narrow light cone can be advantageous. The mounting height must also be taken into account. A wide beam of light ensures a diffused light, resulting in fewer shadows. This, combined with a high mounting location, is ideal for area lighting as the light is evenly distributed. A narrow cone of light provides an intense light at a specific point. This results in stronger shadows, which can be annoying when working, for example.

Can I replace the LEDs in spotlights and headlights?

In the case of lights that are designed for use under difficult conditions, the LEDs are mostly permanently installed. A change is therefore not possible.

Good to know

Permanently installed LED lamps are not a disadvantage. The option of replacing the LEDs is not economical in most cases.

An LED is a semiconductor product and requires cooling. If an LED is firmly connected to the metal housing of the lamp, the heat is optimally dissipated and the service life is extended. In the case of a spotlight or headlight with a replaceable LED light source, the design effort and thus the price would be significantly higher. Don't forget that replacement bulbs can cost a lot of money, sometimes as much as a new one. Considering the long service life of LEDs, you quickly realize that changing the light source is not always economical.
