floodlights

Bright arena illumination

Floodlights are powerful lamps that cast broad, intense illumination over a wide area.

They light up sports fields, construction sites, building facades, and outdoor stages.

To floodlight something is to illuminate it with such lights: The stadium was floodlit for the night game.

Security floodlights often activate by motion sensor.
