GOOD Flat-lens <br />shoebox fixtures come <br />in many forms: square, <br />rectangular, circular, <br />etc. All control the light <br />with internal reflectors. <br />Glare and light trespass <br />are minimized; no <br />uplight is produced. <br />GOOD Fill-cutoff wail <br />packs such as this <br />mcPhilben 101 Wail <br />Sconce make excellent <br />entryway and building <br />perimeter lights, and <br />there is enough forward <br />throw that adequate <br />lighting is provided for <br />near-building parking. <br />GOOD If floodlights <br />must be used, they <br />should always have top <br />and side shielding, and <br />be pointed at least 45° <br />belov/ the horizontal. <br />ti, <br />GOOD Post-top flat- <br />lens shoebox fixtures <br />like this one provide <br />good area illumination <br />without light pollution. <br />GOOD Recessed <br />canister lights built into <br />the eaves or canopy of <br />a house, garage, or <br />other building is the <br />first choice for lighting <br />building exteriors. <br />~ L <br />JK <br />GOOD Even sports <br />lighting can be done <br />well, if one uses cutoff <br />tight fixtures such as <br />these from Soft Lighting <br />Systems. <br />BAD (sometimes) The <br />telltale sag lens gives <br />this luminaire away as a <br />possible problem.
