This High-Rise Building Facade Lighting Project in Xuzhou, China was completed in 2025. The project used 48W LED flood lights with an 8° beam angle for precise illumination of the high-rise building facade.
The lighting solution was designed to highlight the vertical architectural structure of the building and create a clear, focused nighttime appearance.
For high-rise architectural lighting, beam angle and lighting distance are particularly important. The narrow 8° beam angle helped concentrate the light on selected areas of the facade and architectural details.
The project is located in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China and was completed in 2025.
The high-rise building required an exterior lighting solution capable of creating a focused architectural lighting effect across the building facade.
Due to the height of the building and the distance between the lighting fixtures and facade, precise light distribution was an important consideration during the lighting design.
The project used 48W LED flood lights with an 8° narrow beam angle to provide directional architectural facade illumination.
High-rise building facade lighting presents different challenges compared with low-rise architectural projects.
The main considerations for this project included:
Long lighting distances
High building facade
Precise light distribution
Highlighting vertical architectural elements
Avoiding unnecessary light spill
Selecting an appropriate flood light power
Controlling the beam angle
Creating a consistent nighttime appearance
For a high-rise building, using a wide beam angle may spread light over a large area. A narrow beam can instead concentrate light on specific architectural surfaces or details.
For this high-rise facade lighting project, 48W LED flood lights with an 8° beam angle were selected.
The narrow 8° beam was used to provide focused illumination over the required facade areas. The fixtures were positioned and aimed toward the building according to the architectural structure and lighting requirements.
The lighting solution included:
48W LED flood lights
8° narrow beam angle
Directional facade illumination
High-rise architectural lighting
Focused architectural accent lighting
Outdoor building facade application
The combination of 48W power and an 8° beam angle provided a focused lighting solution for areas where concentrated illumination was required.
Beam angle is one of the most important factors when selecting LED flood lights for architectural lighting.
A narrow 8° beam angle produces a concentrated beam of light. This can be useful when the lighting distance is relatively long or when the project requires specific architectural elements to be highlighted.
For high-rise buildings, narrow beam flood lights can help direct light toward selected facade areas instead of spreading the light unnecessarily.
However, the correct beam angle should always be selected according to the actual installation distance, facade width, building structure and required lighting effect.
Typical applications for narrow beam LED flood lights include:
High-rise building facades
Architectural columns
Vertical building elements
Towers and landmarks
Architectural details
Long-distance facade lighting
The 48W LED flood lights with 8° beam angles created a focused lighting effect on the building facade.
The narrow beam helped emphasize selected vertical architectural elements and create greater visual definition after dark.
The lighting effect focused on:
Focused facade illumination
Highlighted architectural structures
Strong vertical lighting lines
Clear nighttime building details
Controlled light distribution
The lighting layout was designed to make the building's architectural features more visible while maintaining a controlled outdoor lighting effect.
Correct fixture positioning is essential for high-rise facade lighting.
The LED flood lights were installed at suitable positions and aimed toward the required facade areas. The narrow 8° beam angle required careful alignment to ensure that the light was directed toward the intended architectural surfaces.
For high-rise buildings, contractors should consider:
Installation height
Distance from the facade
Beam angle
Mounting angle
Facade height
Facade width
Required illumination area
Potential glare and light spill
The final lighting layout should be determined according to the actual building dimensions and site conditions.
LED flood lights provide flexible options for architectural facade lighting because different wattages and beam angles can be selected according to the project requirements.
For high-rise projects, lighting designers and contractors need to consider both light output and beam angle.
A higher-power fixture does not automatically provide a better lighting result. The relationship between wattage, lumens, beam angle, installation distance and facade area is more important.
For this Xuzhou project, the combination of 48W power and an 8° beam angle provided a focused solution for the high-rise facade.
The Xuzhou High-Rise Building Facade Lighting Project was completed in 2025.
The project used 48W LED flood lights with an 8° beam angle to provide focused architectural illumination for the high-rise building facade.
The lighting solution helped emphasize the building's vertical architectural elements and create a defined nighttime appearance.

The project used 48W LED flood lights with an 8° beam angle for high-rise building facade lighting.
The project was completed in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China, in 2025.
An 8° narrow beam angle provides concentrated light distribution and can be useful for long-distance facade lighting and highlighting specific architectural elements.
The required wattage depends on the building height, installation distance, facade size, lighting level and beam angle. In this project, 48W LED flood lights were used with an 8° beam angle for the required facade lighting application.
There is no single beam angle for every high-rise project. Narrow beams such as 8° can be useful for focused or long-distance architectural lighting, while wider beams can cover larger facade areas.
Important factors include building height, facade dimensions, installation distance, LED flood light power, lumens, beam angle, color temperature, IP protection, mounting position and the desired lighting effect.
