    Floodlighting

    Floodlighting involves using powerful light fixtures to illuminate large outdoor areas like buildings, monuments, and grounds. It has purposes like aesthetics, advertising, and commercial use. Factors that affect floodlighting design include the luminance contrast of the object, the light source's beam spread, and the location of projectors. Common light sources for floodlighting include high pressure sodium vapor lamps and metal halide lamps. The location of projectors depends on the size and type of object, with small buildings illuminated from neighboring structures and large buildings using fixtures in parapets or lintels. Design calculations consider the recommended illuminance, waste light factor, coefficient of utilization, depreciation factor, and area to be illuminated.

    Introduction
    What is the main difference between exterior lighting and interior lighting? What is floodlighting?
    5/17/12 22

    Illumination Technology

    Floodlighting
    Flooding the monuments, grounds or buildings with the light emitted by several powerful light fittings

    Light fittings are called projectors When single luminaire is used for throwing light, term floodlighting

    Purpose

    Aesthetic purpose:

    Heritage buildings, monuments, statues, religious buildings, canopies ,malls, city functions etc.

    Advertisement purpose:

    Advertisement Boards, showcases etc.

    Commercial purpose:

    Factors affecting floodlighting

    Light sources used


    Halogen lamps
    (rating not less than 500W)

    Problems faced:

    Light sources used


    High Pressure Sodium Vapour lamps (White Son)
    Advantages:

    No heat Better luminous efficacy Good life time Better lumen maintenance

    Small buildings

    Effective display is achieved by illuminating building uniformly Projectors may be placed on roof of neighboring building or on kerbside post Projector distance from the building = not more than 50m

    Large buildings

    Will have major set back features nonuniform illumination Projectors may be placed in:

    The parapets Hidden within the projecting features of the building On the lintels throwing light upwards

    Average illuminance level ranges from 50

    Illumination Technology

    5/17/12

    Monuments & statues

    Projectors must be located to produce natural soft shadows and promote 3D appearance Good CRI source must be used To get good modeling effect, light should come to several angles NEVER EVER suggest fluorescent lamps

    They make surface appear flat

    Ground surfaces

    Projectors generally located on the towers of high mast or roofs of adjacent tall buildings High CRI very important No. of towers or poles must be kept minimum to avoid inconvenience to the spectators Probability of glare must be kept minimum Projector are mounted such that they have different angles of tilt w.r.t one
