For other uses, see Floodlight (disambiguation).
A floodlight is a broad-beamed, high-intensity artificial light. It can provide functional area lighting[1] for travel-ways, parking, entrances, work areas, and sporting venues to enable visibility adequate for safe task performance, ornamental lighting for advertising, façades, monuments, or support perimeter security.[2] Floodlights are often used to illuminate outdoor playing fields while an outdoor sports event is being held during low-light conditions. More focused kinds are often used as a stage lighting instrument in live performances such as concerts and plays.
