IQ-LED 30W LED Floodlight IP65 - Black

The IQ-LED 30W is an LED floodlight that puts out 3450 lumens of neutral 4000K light from a compact metal housing. A 30W draw and 115 lm/W efficiency keep running costs low while delivering bright, even output, and the wide 100 degree beam spreads light across a broad area rather than concentrating it in a tight spot. American buyers will recognise this format as an outdoor LED flood light, the same kind used to wash driveways, yards and building elevations with a clean white wash.

The wide beam and 3450 lumen output suit security and amenity lighting across drives, side passages, car parks, yards and the front of commercial units. Rather than lighting a fixed room area, a floodlight is judged on throw and spread: the 100 degree angle and neutral 4000K tone give good coverage close to the wall it is mounted on, picking out movement and ground detail across a generous arc. As a brightness comparison, an older halogen floodlight matching this 3450 lumen output would have drawn roughly 170W, so this unit replaces a much thirstier fitting while running cooler.

Construction is a metal body with a black finish, rated IP65 so it stands up to exposed outdoor positions, driving rain and wet locations. It mounts to a wall or ceiling on its adjustable bracket, letting the beam be aimed where it is wanted, and at just 370 g it is easy to position on a single fixing point. The fitting runs on 220-240V AC mains with an integrated LED rated for 50,000 hours, and it is not dimmable. The wider IQ-LED range carries floodlights in other wattages for matching larger and smaller areas.

How bright is this floodlight and how much area does it cover?

It produces 3450 lumens from a 30W LED, which is well suited to lighting a driveway, yard or the front of a building. The wide 100 degree beam spreads the light across a broad arc rather than throwing it far in one direction, so it favours coverage close to the mounting point over long-distance reach.

What halogen wattage does this replace?

At 3450 lumens it is roughly equivalent to an old 170W halogen floodlight, since traditional halogen flood units produced around 20 lumens per watt. You get the same usable brightness while drawing only 30W, which is a large saving on running costs over the 50,000 hour rated life.

Can it be used outdoors in wet weather?

Yes. It carries an IP65 rating, so it is weatherproof and suitable for fully exposed outdoor positions, including direct rain and wet locations. That makes it appropriate for driveways, yards, car parks and unsheltered walls.

How do I keep it clean and clear?

Wipe the front glass with a soft damp cloth from time to time, as a film of dust, salt or grime on the lens will gradually dim the output. Make sure the fitting is switched off and cool first, and avoid harsh solvents that could mark the black metal housing.
