I am a dog trainer and I am looking to light a section of property 100 x 150 to enable training at night. I plan to install 2 or 3 20-25ftpolls to mount these flood units.

I have been looking at LED units. I currently have a set of 1000watt metal halide lamps on a portable base and they do not cut it.

Is there a formula for determining how many I need and what wattage to look for? Where can these be purchased online?

Thank you

Look on econolight.com , they have lights and the equivalent that it's to. I recently replaced a 250 watt mh light with a led light that's equivalent to a 150 watt my and the new led is brighter than the old light.

Thank you

Why would you want to buy these online when there's probably half a dozen local electrical suppliers near you who can do a layout on the computer for you, recommend several different products that would be appropriate, order them for you, and will be there for you to yell at if something goes wrong.
You also likely have reps from the major manufacturers in your area. They'll respond to a request like yours.
Good luck

Thank you for all the replies - I was asking for online suggestions so that I could educate myself a little before wasting a commissioned individuals time with some very basic questions.

The tennis court comparison is a good one as I'm not sure how much light I need that gives me something to search and work from

Have you been to the town hall to get a copy of their outdoor lighting ordinance?
There's little point to looking at anything until you know what the rules are.
