PIXTER lighting guides · Updated 10 October 2026
Choose outdoor LED lighting by the area, mounting location and beam distribution. A street light is a starting point for a road or lane layout; a floodlight is a starting point for directed area lighting. Before ordering, confirm environmental suitability, light output and the exact mounting arrangement for the selected model.
Street light or floodlight: which should you compare?
| Your requirement | Starting point | Information needed |
|---|---|---|
| Private lane or access road | LED street light | Road width, pole height, spacing and circulation needs. |
| Driveway or exterior work area | LED floodlight | Area dimensions, mounting position, aiming and glare sensitivity. |
| Large open site | A site-specific lighting layout | Use of the area, obstacles, target illumination and boundaries. |
These are planning starting points. Product category and wattage do not independently prove compliance, light coverage or suitability.
Compare the PIXTER outdoor ranges
The PIXTER LED street light range lists 20–24W, 30–36W, 50W and 100W options. Both Flood Light Model 1 and Flood Light Model 2 list 30W, 50W, 100W, 150W and 200W options. The floodlight models have different published housing weights and dimensions; compare the specification table for the exact wattage.
What wattage do you need?
There is no single wattage that fits every road, driveway or open area. Required illumination, lumen output, beam distribution, mounting height and spacing determine the useful light reaching the ground. Start by recording the site dimensions and mounting positions, then ask for a layout or photometric assessment. Avoid buying solely because a model has a higher wattage.
Six checks before selecting an outdoor fixture
- Exposure: describe rain, dust, humidity and any corrosive environment. Confirm the exact variant’s IP and operating-condition ratings.
- Mounting: record pole or wall height, bracket arrangement, structural suitability and access for maintenance.
- Light distribution: ask where light will fall, including boundaries, neighbouring windows and vehicle sight lines.
- Uniformity: assess dark gaps between fixtures instead of relying only on the bright area beneath a light.
- Electrical specification: compare stated input voltage, power factor and surge rating for the selected variant.
- Commercial details: confirm stock, current price, warranty, delivery and installation responsibilities.
Model 1 versus Model 2 floodlights
The two PIXTER floodlight models cover the same listed wattage choices, but that does not make their housings identical. Compare dimensions and weight at the same wattage. Then request the missing selection data: light output, beam distribution, colour temperature, IP rating, mounting details and current commercial terms. A lighter housing alone does not prove greater efficiency or longer life.
Prepare a quotation brief
For a driveway, provide length, width, mounting height and your delivery city. For a business site, add a plan, pole or wall positions, operating hours, quantity by model and environmental conditions. If you are replacing fixtures, share their current positions and the areas where lighting is poor. Request a single-unit, bulk or project quotation.
Common outdoor-lighting questions
Can a floodlight replace a street light?
Only after checking the required distribution, mounting and site conditions. Equal wattage does not mean the two fixtures illuminate a road in the same way.
Does a higher surge rating make a light weatherproof?
No. A surge rating describes a different electrical characteristic from an ingress-protection rating. Confirm both independently for the exact variant.
Can I buy before the IP rating is confirmed?
Confirm suitability before choosing a fixture for an exposed installation. Do not infer a weather rating from a housing photograph or the word “outdoor”.
