There are many makes of external IP LED fixtures now available, grab some catalogues and knock yourself out!

I've also several 'inside tracks' on a few manufacturers of more 'show/theatrical' type fittings - pm me if you want to.

Halide floods mounted above shutter cage LED s look great Frazers in glasgow have colour changing ones ( sat for nearly an hour one night on way home watching guy set them up it was stunning what could be done with them

Just caught me on my way out, got a fiver so I could be gone for days.

Think Mogga's suggestion is a good one, 150w Metal Halide floodlights are what I use. is it a flat fronted building you are trying to illuminate?

yeah rogerbodger it is and has to be mounted to building aswell as is shop front and footpath below, most likely the halides would sit on top of shutter cage...

was looking at the ones that shine up and down but have to be mounted half way up the building and you would see the cables... its on a sea front aswell... if you have anymore info cheers, salt laden??

Can't quite see the mental picture that you are painting, but from what I visualize you could knock up some kind of bracket to hold the upward facing floodlights 2-3 feet off the wall to get the best effect, but to illuminate the shop front and pavement you would need some kind of down lighters - correct so far?

if he had the downlighter ones would the shutter cage not block it, but your right in maybe making up a bracket to shine right up the building or a bracet that can let the light turn suppose 90 degrees either way. i have exterior lighting book in front of me and none of the brackets look like could turn the angle i would want them...

 

[i=p/u]

aaaa would you just turn them upside down??

Find a local metalworkers, make a sketch, tell them what you want, get them welded up, painted, powder coated - sorted.

i just feel there bound to be a range of lights out there , and no doubt is, just ive never done this before, just want to know a little before i chat to him on monday, but at least now i know son = orange light and metal halide = white light

do you know what windage means 0.13m squared, isit todo with

 

[SPARTYKUS]

You can get magenta, green & orange halide bulbs. Green are ace

I was picturing the brackets sitting off each end of the shutter cage, each with a flood looking up and a down lighter.

Windage, not sure, presume it's the surface area that the fitting presents to the wind, make sure they are fixed securely.
