Thanks everyone for your help and time! The light is coming from a sodium street light, coming from the opposite side of the street. We don't have the resources to block or gel that light, my intention at this stage is to leave that street light as it is, and add some lighting near the door. I totally agree with you that I should have taken more pictures, thanks for the reminder. I will be back there in few days and will investigate the situation a little better. Lots of good points here, thanks! In terms of story, luckily there's a bit of freedom, and we are not too constrained by a specific time or style. I like the LED emergency light idea, and the bare bulb with rain protection. Very true that the street light from the left is flattening everything, thanks for pointing that out. I like this idea, thanks heaps for sharing, but I am concerned that having that type of light on the wall won't illuminate the person standing by the door the way I'd imagine. Thanks again for all the inputs, will keep you posted, and will attach some pictures down the track if anyone is interested.

Hi everyone, I am new to lighting for filming, and I have been trying to find a solution for lighting this back alley. (photo attached) The photo was taken during a site inspection and shows the existing lighting in the street, and approximately the angle of view and size of the shot. I would like to find a practical (like a street light above the door or similar) that will light the door, there will be a person standing on the right hand side of the door, and would like to make the number 91 more visible. The blue light at the back might be replaced with something else, but my main concern is what to add as practical. The light/s that we install will have to stay for about 3 weeks as this scene will be filmed several times. I would love if the practical itself will serve as key light, without adding anything on the side of the street where the photo was taken.. Any tip to point me in the right direction will be appreciated!

wow Reggie A Brown, both videos are good, but the second one is amazing. Thanks for sharing the links
