Design Tips

Lighting Houses of Worship (Elliptipar)
This tip will show you some examples of how to use indirect lighting from elliptipar to create dramatic effect.
Facade Lighting (Acuity Brands)
When lighting building facades with ground-mounted floodlights, three factors are considered:
Setback

The recommended setback is 3/4 times the building height. If a building is 30 feet tall, the recommended setback is 22.5 feet from the building. Locating the floodlight closer to the building will sacrifice uniformity; setting it farther back will result in loss of efficiency.
Spacing

The rule of thumb for spacing floodlights is not to exceed two times the setback distance. If the setback is 22.5 feet, the floodlights should not be placed more than 45 feet apart.
Aiming

The floodlight should be aimed at least 2/3 the height of the building. For example, if a building is 30 feet high, the recommended aiming point is approximately 20 feet high. After installation is complete, aiming can be adjusted to produce the best appearance. Mounting a full or upper visor to the floodlight can reduce unwanted spill light.

Monuments (Acuity Brands)
The strong form and texture of most statues and monuments is often best illuminated by highlighting rather than uniformly flooding the object. The first step is to identify which characteristic(s) should be developed. The information below offers suggestions for three different techniques:

Most Prominent Feature
Select the single most prominent characteristic of the statue or monument, possibly a face or an emblem, and illuminate it with a single spot. More than one spot may be needed to provide visual interest from all viewing locations.

Texture, Three-Dimensional Quality
Develop a grazing effect by placing fixtures at the base of the statue, aimed straight up. Strong shadows will highlight the texture and three-dimensional quality of the work. This effect may be produced with either spot or horizontal spot distributions.

Profile, Silhouette
Should the statue be located in front of a wall or similar surface such as a row of trees, consider lighting this background surface so that the dark statue is seen in silhouette against the light background. This technique is particularly effective in accenting the overall shape, such as a rider on horseback. Provide sufficient background illuminance so that a strong accent effect exists between the background and statue.
