Flood Light Application: Facade Lighting

When using ground mounted flood lights to light up a building facade, three factors must be considered:

  1. Setback Distance
  2. Fixture Spacing
  3. Aiming Height

Setback Distance

Install fixtures back, "setback", 3/4 times the building height.

Example:

Setback Distance = 3/4 x Building Height
3/4 x 30 ft. = 22.5 ft.

Set back distance for facade lighting using flood lights

Fixture Spacing

When spacing fixtures out, do not exceed two times the setback distance.

Example:

Fixture Spacing = 2 x Setback Distance
2 x 22.5 ft. = 45 ft. apart

Flood light spacing for facade lighting

Aiming Height

Flood lights should be aimed at least 2/3 the height of the building.

Example:
Aiming Height = 2/3 x Building Height
2/3 x 30 ft. = 20 ft. high
