I'm looking for any recommendations (or avoids!) for 200W LED floodlights. The application is to illuminate a small field (roughly 30% smaller than a soccer pitch) for canine agility at an animal rescue shelter .
The installation will be a donation with a small contribution from supporter fundraising for the cost of the floodlights and materials.
We don't currently have the resources to install lighting columns so will temporarily mount the fittings on scaffold poles and on adjacent structures and hopefully get funding for columns at a later stage.
I'm very keen to get the best value for these folks as they do tremendous work saving abandoned dogs and I don't want to recommend LEDs that will start playing up in a year or two. I've not previously had any call for the larger (150W +) LED floodlights and I'm generally skeptical of the new LED brand names that are flooding (..... yeah I did!) the market these days.
Obviously there is a benefit to the shelter's running costs if I can provide them with reliable LED floodlights as opposed to metal halides.
Any input would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
Look at the LED floods on wholesaleledlights.co.uk , I’ve had quite a few from this company over the last 4 or 5 years with no problems.
 
I have just fitted 5 x 200W LED floodlights to light up a stables arena and I used the following http://www.belllighting.co.uk/fittings/SkylineProLEDFloodlightsWallpacks see item number 04421.

I cant talk about the longevity of them but they do appear to be quality lights. The customer was very happy with the light output and the spread of light. They also have a 5 year guarantee so they must feel confident with their product. They were easy to fit and Bell lighting were very helpful with lighting diagrams. They're not cheap but if they are placed 6m in the air you want something that is going to last for a good few years before you have to get back up there!

Also, be prepared for the inrush current from high powered LED lights ( I wasn't!). You will either needed a larger Type B MCB than expected or use a Type C. Even with the Type C Bell lighting recommended a larger rating.

I retract my osram ledvance and recommend bell. We had 4 200w ledvance fail out of 30 after less than a year. Bell give 5 year warranty and I've been advised by CEF that they come out themselves to replace them if within 3 years. Can't go wrong with that
 
Can not advise on 200 watt fittings but am becoming more sceptical about the so called life of fittings to the point where I am now starting to write installation dates and name of supplier on back of fittings. I fitted two 30 watt fittings over a farm yard in Oct 2015 and two weeks ago fitted the 3rd replacement fitting.
