I am currently working on a project that requires a building to be shown at night with these LED lights illuminating it. How do you think is the best way of going about this?
I have tried having IES lights but the light doesn't go very far and if I turn up the intensity too high you get it burning out at the source. I tried this with having invisible Octane lights going up the wall but you could see any colour difference between the lights. There are about 15 bulbs close together and each one has to be a different colour and look like the examples attached.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

IES emitters or lights would be the easiest way, but you will have to make sure you are using an IES map with the correct spread for this situation.

Exactly,
you have to use a nice ies file in your Octane IES Light.
