ABSTRACT:
A light fixture includes a lamp engine, an electronic module connected to the lamp engine and a photometric module mounted to the light engine. The electronic module is connected to the light source and an associated power source for providing power to the light source. The photometric module mounts to the light engine and creates a beam pattern that illuminates a substantial portion of an entire associated subject area. The method of illuminating a large area includes determining a subject area to be illuminated by a plurality of light sources and determining a desired lighting criteria for the subject area. A first light source is provided and light emitted from the first light source is directed to illuminate the subject area. Additional light sources are provided and directed to provide additional light to illuminate the same portion of the subject area until the desired lighting criteria are met.
