Our Favorite Floodlights in 2024 for Brilliant Illumination
When SHTF, you must be prepared, starting from the basics and moving up to the crucial elements. Having durable and high-quality floodlights is not a minor concern. Light, when things get desperate is very important both practically and also psychologically. When it gets dark you will need to have the lights on if you want to engage in any activity and we know how important preparation is even during those winter months when it gets dark early outside. It is also useful for the psychological aspect – the way that we have been accustomed to having lights on from the moment it gets dark up to when we sleep makes it very difficult to adjust to a lifestyle where you can function only during the day. There is also the matter of security because sometimes you want to be sure that your BOL is safe at all times from intruders or other animals.

Thanks to its beam angle, which is 120°, you will get a much wider illumination range. Installing it is quite easy since the metal bracket on the body makes everything simpler. Choose the angle of your preference, then all you have to do is tighten the screws that are located on both sides of the bracket.

2. Lithonia Lighting Flood Light
Overview
The metal housing on this model is rust-resistant and very sturdy, the quality is top-notch, and it will last you for a very long time. They are extremely easy to install, and it will only take you a few minutes to get the job done. The two heads can be adjusted the way that you want without having to use any tools to do so. In other words, you can focus the lights in two directions, thus allowing you to cover more space.
The Good
You can build in the Dusk to Dawn Sensor and then the light will automatically turn off at dawn and turn on at dusk. By having this sensor, you will save yourself the hassle of remembering to turn it on and off every day. It seems like this sensor was created for the lazy ones that forget to turn on the lights outside from time to time.
The Bad
The Sensor is incredibly sensitive, however we care more about the quality of the light and the durability of the product rather than the Dusk to Dawn Sensor.
Budget friendly, with a longevity, and power that's impressive, this is highly recommended for any serious prepper.

3. Hyperikon LED Floodlight
Overview
The waterproof LED floodlight is super bright at 90 lumens/ watt; it is great for monitoring everything around your bug out location. The Hyperikon floodlight also has the Dusk to Dawn Sensor which will automatically turn on and off depending if it’s dusk or dawn. Installation can be done in just a few simple steps, or you can simply mount it to a wall.
The Good
The IP65 design makes it weatherproof, so it will continue shining a bright light even when it’s snowing or raining. The best thing about the Hyperikon LED floodlight is that you can adjust the cap however you want. Additionally, the fixture’s head can also be rotated to change the light’s direction, while the two heads give you more coverage.
The Bad
It took a while to work out the right sensor settings, and the control can be a little hard to reach. However we noted that and mounted the light accordingly – you can’t catch a determined prepper out like that!
With independent lights, a vast area can be covered effectively and efficiently. As a result, this is well worth considering.
