The design of a good floodlighting installation calls for a
close study of its lighting effects. This is often the best way to
decide which features will be the most attractive when
floodlighted is applied [12]. Thus, the technique of
floodlighting a structure is not based solely on the principles
of lighting engineering, the feelings and insights as regards
the aesthetic values of the architecture are just as important. It
should be necessary to make sure that the floodlighting gives sufficient light for the public to find their way, or that special lighting will be required for the footpaths. It is also necessary to know if the installation will only operate for a short period,
or whether it can be regarded as permanent or semi permanent. In this case it is worthwhile considering the use of energy effective lamps, and making a more vandal-resistant installation.
