Lighting Bloopers

It's a hazard of the job--we can't go anywhere without analyzing the lighting. We've seen it all--the good, the bad, and the so-bad-it's-hilarious. So we've devised this column to share some of the funniest lighting mishaps we've come across.

As lighting designers we usually vote for an even spacing of fixtures. It keeps our light levels consistent, it makes the fixtures more visually pleasing, etc. But sometimes in construction there are obstacles that cannot be helped and the light layout must adjust.

Whoever was installing new light poles in this neighborhood did not see a homeowner's driveway as one such obstacle.
