But none the less, as we’ll see in a second, the Ring Floodlight Cam is pretty good. What this means is, in my opinion, the Ring Floodlight Cam is really good for a backyard or for a patio or things like that, but perhaps it’s not so much good over a really long driveway or really narrow driveway, where a traditional LED floodlight is probably a little bit better.īecause in that case, the floodlight will actually project the light a lot more focused and brighten up that area a lot more than a Ring Floodlight Cam. But the benefit to this as well, is because you’ve got two sources of light, they both project in slightly different directions, you actually get a wider sort of cone, or wider sort of distance of light that’s projected from the Ring Floodlight Cam, compared to a traditional LED floodlight, that’s a lot more focused in how it projects the light out. So that’s one downside of the fact that you’ve got two separate lights, which are 1500 lumens of light. And this works fairly well and I quite like it, as we’ll see later, but it does also mean that the light is a little bit more focused than you might think. It’s only 400 lumens brighter than a LIFX ceiling bulb, for example.Įach left and right light as well, also had a bit of a cone or a shape around it that projects the light in a certain way. Now that is fairly good considering that you can effectively combine the total to 3000 lumens, but it does also mean that each individual light isn’t all that much brighter than a ceiling bulb. So on the Ring Floodlight Cam, you’ve got left light and right light, each pump out around 1500 lumens of light. However, that’s until you realize that actually that refers to the combined total of two separate lights. So 3000 lumens of light for the Ring Floodlight Cam sounds pretty good. Equally down lights or spotlights are usually around 350 lumens of light, but sometimes they go up to around 500 lumens of light, in the best case. For example Philips Hue bulbs are just over 800 lumens of light, while LIFX is around 1100 lumens of light, they’re around that figure. Equally if you compare the Ring Floodlight Cam’s 3000 lumens of light to a ceiling bulb, that’s often around 1000 lumens, give or take. Now 3000 lumens sounds fairly good, because if you go on Amazon, and you look at different floodlights, you’ll see a lot of floodlights that have 3000 or 3500 lumens of brightness, so in that sense, that’s fairly good. Lumens being a measure of how bright something is.
So the Ring Floodlight Cam has 3000 lumens of brightness. Okay so before I actually show you that, I wanted to talk through some of the technical side of things. So I thought it was important to film this video and show you how bright the Ring Floodlight Cam really is. So I recently installed my Ring Floodlight Camera, and I wanted to film this video today just to talk through and to show you just how bright it is, because it’s quite an important decision, the fact it’s marketed as a flood light, means it has to be fairly bright.īut sometimes with smart products such as smart lighting, you sometimes take a downgrade in terms of the brightness.
