Quote - What I'm trying to do, is light up a carpark at night. The majority of carparks, especially large ones, have lights on top of tall poles.

Example

The lights will be out of sight. Somehow I suspect that one giant meshlight won't have the save effect as a multitude of single lights, e.g. shadows, etc. Think of lights around a stadium, same thing.

Doc, just getting caught up with the thread, but Reggie posted a matrix mesh light set some months ago. Looks like a 4x4 square of lights. I haven't tried it yet but scale it to size above your set and I should think that would give you your cross shadowing effects without manually arranging singular props.
