External Floodlighting is an art, and when correctly designed, can transform the facade of architecturally pleasing structures. For maximum effect, it is important to contrast colours with any other surrounding illuminated buildings, and particularly street lighting, otherwise, the subject will blend with its’ surroundings, rather than stand out. It is also important to highlight the decorative architecture, for added appeal. Careful selection and placement of light fittings is required to ensure that the fittings themselves do not become a feature of the structure.

It is always a compromise between providing the perfectly lit structure, and being able to maintain the lamps and fittings. This must always be considered at the design stage. 

Environmental issues are also a concern. All external floodlighting installations produce some element of light spillage from the target, which in addition to wasting energy, contributes to illuminating the night sky, making the work of astronomers increasingly difficult. It is important minimise light spillage, through the choice of beam angles, reflectors and shutters. 

There is no shortage of badly floodlit buildings. Gobo Projectors can enhance corporate/product image by projecting a predetermined picture onto the façade or pavement. Rotating or moving left to right can further enhance this.
