A method of illuminating a target area according to a composite beam pattern using independently pivotable light directing and light redirecting means comprising: a. identifying one or more factors related to the target area; b. developing a plurality of individual beam patterns which, when assembled, approximates the composite beam pattern; c. developing a lighting system comprising a plurality of lighting fixtures each of which produces an output which contributes to at least one individual beam pattern and comprises: i. one or more light sources pivotable about at least one axis; ii. one or more light directing means pivotable about at least one axis wherein said light directing means comprises one or more of: 1. a lens; 2. a structural component of the lighting system; or 3. a filter; iii. one or more light redirecting means pivotable about at least one axis and independently pivotable of said light directing means wherein said light redirecting means comprises one or more of: 1. a reflective device; 2. a diffuser; or 3. a light absorbing device; characterized by d. housing the light sources compactly, wherein the step of housing the light sources compactly comprises: i. mounting a plurality of light sources in a housing elongated along an axis; and ii. sealing the housing with a lens along the light sources; and e. installing the lighting system at the target area so to produce the composite beam pattern. a. identifying one or more factors related to the target area; b. developing a plurality of individual beam patterns which, when assembled, approximates the composite beam pattern; c. developing a lighting system comprising a plurality of lighting fixtures each of which produces an output which contributes to at least one individual beam pattern and comprises: i. one or more light sources pivotable about at least one axis; ii. one or more light directing means pivotable about at least one axis wherein said light directing means comprises one or more of: 1. a lens; 2. a structural component of the lighting system; or 3. a filter; iii. one or more light redirecting means pivotable about at least one axis and independently pivotable of said light directing means wherein said light redirecting means comprises one or more of: 1. a reflective device; 2. a diffuser; or 3. a light absorbing device; characterized by i. one or more light sources pivotable about at least one axis; ii. one or more light directing means pivotable about at least one axis wherein said light directing means comprises one or more of: 1. a lens; 2. a structural component of the lighting system; or 3. a filter; 1. a lens; 2. a structural component of the lighting system; or 3. a filter; iii. one or more light redirecting means pivotable about at least one axis and independently pivotable of said light directing means wherein said light redirecting means comprises one or more of: 1. a reflective device; 2. a diffuser; or 3. a light absorbing device; characterized by 1. a reflective device; 2. a diffuser; or 3. a light absorbing device; d. housing the light sources compactly, wherein the step of housing the light sources compactly comprises: i. mounting a plurality of light sources in a housing elongated along an axis; and ii. sealing the housing with a lens along the light sources; and i. mounting a plurality of light sources in a housing elongated along an axis; and ii. sealing the housing with a lens along the light sources; and e. installing the lighting system at the target area so to produce the composite beam pattern.
