hi guys, first post so be kind :)

i have the job of illuminating a large building that is 6 floors from the outside.
at present there are flood lights being used to light up the signage but it doesn't illuminate all the way to the top of the sign as they are vertical (and possibly not angled correctly!).
ive been asked to illuminate the signage and the building its self so was planning on installing 60w led flood lights to shine up the building on either side of the bottom of the sign and then others just shining up the building.
my concern is that they wont be powerful enough to reach the top of the sign, as the beam is usually wide from the flood lights and not made for distance? i fear that installing 80w because the unistrut arm out at the bottom of the sign means they will be mounted close means that the extra brightness may blur the sign?
can anyone provide any help with this situation?
also thinking of using floods from LED hut.. are they reliable?

thanks - Tom
 
I would take onions advice as they would be able to specify much better what is available for the size and lighting effects you need,
However from what you say you are more looking at PAR can lighting than floodlighting for the sign and high wattage wall washers for the walls.
They will not come cheap!
