The Complete Guide to Hammerhead Outdoor Area & Flood Lights
Outdoor lighting has to be bright, even, weatherproof, and increasingly dark-sky-friendly. The Hammerhead line covers area and flood needs for lots, perimeters, and building exteriors. This guide covers mounting, optics, and uses.
The Hammerhead delivers high-output, weather-sealed area and flood lighting with shielded, dark-sky-friendly optics for lots, security, and building perimeters.
Area vs Flood
- Area: pole-mounted, even coverage over lots and yards
- Flood: aimed output for facades, signage, and security
Dark-Sky and Spill Control
Many jurisdictions require shielded optics that keep light on the ground, not the sky. Choose dark-sky-friendly distributions to stay compliant and cut glare.
