As the economy continuously develops, the corresponding "night economy" has become an essential part. Night lighting and decoration are important conditions, greatly promoting urban economic development. With the continuous progress of the times, there are increasing choices for urban night scene lighting techniques, yet floodlighting remains a classic building lighting technique. At night, urban buildings are brightly lit, adding beauty and vitality to the city. The humanistic and economic values created by floodlighting should not be underestimated.
Floodlighting is used in three aspects:
Building floodlighting: highlighting the characteristics and themes of buildings and structures, emphasizing the beauty and texture of buildings
Landscape floodlighting: making trees more natural, waterscapes more dynamic, bonsai more pleasant, lawns more vibrant, and landscapes more pleasant
City floodlighting: making cities more modern, their images more outstanding, and their light environments healthier
Precautions for Floodlight Lighting of Buildings

Select appropriate lamps and light distribution curves.
Choose suitable light source color temperature and color according to building material.
For glass curtain wall, use internal light transmission lighting and reserve power at glass overlap with small point light sources for facade decoration.
Commonly used illuminance calculation methods include unit capacity method, light flux method and point-by-point calculation method.
Reserve power supply pipelines indoors, outdoors, on the facade, roof and inside the glass curtain wall when the first design doesn't include night scene lighting for secondary design convenience.
Characteristics of Landscape Floodlight Lighting
In the garden landscape, lights give the landscape a second life at night. Blooming at night, the dark night has glowing elves. Every splendour gives people a sense of beauty and comfort. It can light up the darkness of the night like a dream, and it can also be beautiful and fun like a work of art.
At night, lights are not only the simplest lighting function that people are familiar with, but also have a decorative function. Places with lights are more likely to attract people and form an interesting space for guidance; places with lights are also more lively, which can change people's mood and have a soothing effect on the soul.
Garden landscape lighting is not only a people-oriented design, but also a demand for ecological environment life aesthetics.
Characteristics of Urban Flood Lighting
