flood lamp

Wide-beam outdoor light

A flood lamp is a lamp designed to cast a broad, even beam of light over a wide area.

Unlike spotlights, which concentrate light in a narrow cone, flood lamps spread illumination across spaces—used for outdoor security, stadium lighting, stage work, and photography: The flood lamps lit up the entire backyard.
