floodlighting
Bright outdoor illumination
Floodlighting is the use of powerful, broad-beamed lights to illuminate large outdoor areas—stadiums, building facades, monuments, or construction sites.
The term covers both the practice and the equipment: The floodlighting made the cathedral glow against the night sky.
As a verb form, it describes the act of installing or operating such lights.
