Hey guys I need a little guidance here.
Ok, Here goe's..:grin:
I have a church that has several large HPS lights all around their property and it is costing them $165 a month. They asked me to see if I could find some lights to install so that the large HPS lights could be turned off/taken down. All but 2 are blocked the church building by low trees. (The HPS lights are on POCO poles approx 25' in the air.
After surveying all the locations where they want light, and is supposed to lit by these blocked lights, I noticed everywhere except 1 main location already has non working simple floodlights that can EASILY be replaced with some nice square quartz halogens to light up those smaller areas.
The "main" area I am speaking of is the main parking lot on the side of the gymnasium and annex (fellowship hall) buildings. The lot is 150' x 75'. Obviously, 1 long side of the lot goes along the side of the gym/annex; and the other 'long side' goes along a street.I will be mounting the lights on the side of the gym and have them shining on the lot about 15'-20' high. My question(s) to the forum is this: 1) Which light size (compact, medium,large) and type (MH or HPS) would you use on the gym building?
2) If you changed the smaller area lights from the simple floodlights to something other than square quartz halogen (HD/Lowe's) type; then what would you choose?
The reason I am asking in such detail is this: the church wants to spend less per month, but they also want to use these lights for 2 purposes..general illumination (Sundays/Wednesdays) and security (7 days a week) , hence photocells I plan on installing. I spent nearly an hour uploading and trying to get pics. on here of the church parking lot to help ya'll visualize the lot. If you would like me to email you the pics, PM me your email address. Thanks, sparky723
