It is quite amazing that, what used to be just a tiny, insignificant, red, yellow, or green LED diode, is now rapidly becoming the main source of affordable lighting in the automotive industry, in homes and offices, on boats and RVs and, of course also in landscaping applications, and last but not least, for outdoor LED flood lights.

Instant-on action. Unlike the popular fluorescent lights, LED flood lights do not require a "warm up" time of as much as 2-3 minutes. This can be important in many applications, for instant for motion detection lights and for security lighting.

Easy dimming and color change function. Since all major wavelengths of visible light are now available in bright LED diodes, by combining primary color LED diodes in LED flood light bulbs, any color light can be achieved with modern LED flood lights. Some fixtures have controllers available where the light color can be changed by a push of a button, or special light changing programs can be set. Likewise, it is easy to change the brightness of the light by increasing and decreasing the voltage applied to the LED diodes.

Longevity of LED flood lights. This is a consequence of low power consumption. Since the chance of overheating is small, there is hardly any degradation of the LED bulb while it is on. As a consequence, the stated lifetimes of LED light bulbs are from 50,000 hours upwards. That can be as much as 10-15 years
