What are Floodlights? |
Floodlights are
mechanisms designed to provide
artificial light
to a large expanse or area. The
floodlights
proper will include the use of
high intensity lamps
that are configured to hold up to repeated use for
extended period of times. Because of this property,
floodlights work
very well in sports stadiums as well as theater stages.
When utilized as part of the
lighting system
for a sports stadium,
floodlight
panels are usually installed at strategic locations
around the perimeter of the playing field. The powerful
lamps
are arranged in sections at each point of installation,
and trained to highlight a given portion of the field.
Often, the overall effect of the
floodlights is
to create the same degree of visibility that is possible
at full sunlight during the middle of the day. The use
of
floodlights
revolutionized sports such as baseball and football, as
the
lights made it
possible to play in the evening hours.
Stage performances such as plays and concerts also
benefit from the presence of
floodlights.
Generally, the arrangement and function of the
lights
is more complex than the systems used at sports arenas.
In addition to providing an ample amount of
general light
for the stage area, the
lamp system will
also incorporate
spotlights
that can be used to create heightened attention to one
area of the stage. The
spotlight is
often employed when a singer is performing a solo, or an
actor is delivering an important soliloquy during the
course of a play.
Another common use of
floodlights is
in the creation of a
searchlight
system for a municipality or waterfront.
Searchlights
can allow rescue crews and local law officials to
quickly scan a wide area in very little time. This use
of
floodlights can
often lead to saving lives as well as helping to protect
the citizens of a given city or town from some type of
danger. |
