Any ideas fo flood lights to uplight a manor house? warm light rather than white/blue

[bleach]

Hi all!

Im looking for 5/6 flood lights to up-light a manor house. Customer wants a warm light and not too bright but subtle. Cheap. Most leds are on the cool white of the k scale that I have seen? The lights will be on the ground about 3-4 metres from building which is 12-15 metres high.

any ideas most welcomed!!

Anything under around 3000k should give effective but not cold or 'blue' light.

If you're going to use floodlights on a 15m wall from 4 meters away you'll need asymmetrical reflector floodlights to get an even spread of light.

typical customer. They want it to look great but don't want to spend any money! Next they'll be wanting you to wire it in T&E!

Thanks for the replies chaps!.... Think I am swaying towards some 70watt son floods due to colour and price.

As long as they want to leave them on for a good while at a time.

It's worth checking that the manufacturers instructions allow the floodlights to be used as uplighters as not all are.

What is the minimum time to have them on dave? Customer is looking at 2 hours each evening on a timer... Does that seem ok?
