Application Scenarios
PAR38 flood lights are versatile high-intensity directional lighting fixtures commonly used in commercial and hospitality environments where focused, bright illumination is required. In hotels, malls, and offices, they serve both functional and aesthetic purposes depending on the application.
In hotels, PAR38 flood lights are ideal for accent lighting in lobbies, hallways, and exterior architectural features. They are often used to highlight artwork, signage, or landscaping around entrances and pool areas. Their beam control allows for precise illumination, enhancing ambiance while maintaining energy efficiency, especially when using LED versions.
Malls frequently use PAR38 flood lights in retail storefronts, display windows, and high-ceiling atriums. The strong beam output effectively draws attention to merchandise and key areas within the shopping environment. Their ability to render colors accurately—particularly with high CRI LED models—makes them suitable for retail lighting where product appearance matters.
In office buildings, PAR38s are typically installed in conference rooms, lobbies, or outdoor parking areas. While general office workspaces usually rely on diffuse ambient lighting, PAR38s can be used in meeting rooms to spotlight presentation areas or branding elements. Outdoors, they provide effective security lighting for building perimeters, parking lots, and walkways due to their wide flood beam and durability.
When installing PAR38 flood lights, consider the following tips:
Ensure compatibility with the existing fixture and electrical system, especially voltage and dimming requirements if using dimmable LED models. Most PAR38s are designed for line voltage (120V or 277V), so confirm the supply matches the lamp specifications.
Use appropriate enclosures for outdoor or damp locations. Look for fixtures rated for wet or damp locations if installing under eaves, near entrances, or in exterior wall packs to prevent moisture ingress and ensure longevity.
Pay attention to beam angle. PAR38s come in various beam spreads—flood (typically 40–60 degrees) and wide flood (60+ degrees). Choose the appropriate spread based on the distance to the target and the area to be illuminated.
Install at proper heights and angles to avoid glare and light trespass. In retail or hospitality settings, aim lights to highlight features without shining directly into guest or customer sightlines.
Use thermal management best practices. Even LED PAR38s generate some heat. Ensure fixtures have adequate ventilation, especially in enclosed housings, to prolong lifespan and maintain performance.
Consider using LED PAR38 lamps for energy savings, longer life, and reduced maintenance. They are ideal for locations where lights remain on for extended periods, such as in malls or hotel exteriors.
Regular maintenance, including cleaning lenses and checking for secure mounting, ensures consistent performance and safety over time.
