Design Tips

Lighting Houses of Worship
This tip will show you some examples of how to use indirect lighting from elliptipar to create dramatic effect.
Facade Lighting
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.

Floodlighting
Pole mounted floodlights are commonly used for general area lighting applications such as parking lots and storage yards. The factors to be considered are:

Mounting Height
The recommended mounting height is one half the distance across the area to be lighted. If the area to be lighted is 40 feet across, the lowest recommended mounting height is 20 feet. Mounting height = 1/2 distance to be lighted
1/2 (40 ft.) = 20 ft.

Spacing
When more than one pole is added, pole placement is a concern. The "4 times" rule of thumb for spacing indicates that a pole should be placed four times the mounting height from the adjacent poles. If a flood is mounted on a 20 foot pole, space the poles 80 feet apart. Pole Spacing = 4 x mounting height
4 (20 ft. pole) = 80 feet between poles

Vertical Aiming
A single floodlight uses the two-thirds rule of thumb for vertical aiming. The fixture is aimed 2/3 of the distance across the area to be lighted and at least 30 degrees below horizontal. If the area to be lighted is 40 feet across, the recommended aiming point is 27 feet. Aiming point = 2/3 across distance to be lighted 2/3 (40 ft.) = 27 ft. aiming point Additionally, to minimize glare, the recommended aiming point distance should never exceed twice the mounting height. If a pole is 20 feet high, the vertical aiming point should not exceed 40 feet out. 2 (20 ft. mounting height) = 40 ft.

Horizontal Aiming
When an additional floodlight is added to a single pole, horizontal aiming also must be considered. First, each floodlight should be vertically aimed according to the two-thirds rule above. As long as the floodlight has a horizontal NEMA 6 or 7 beam spread, the floodlights can be aimed up to 90 degrees apart.
