In rural areas of Europe, ornamental lighting, and particularly church lighting, is often among the most important sources of light emissions from communities. In current practice of façade lighting for churches, much of the produced light misses the target area, and façade luminance is often far larger than is necessary. This results in a dramatic waste of electrical energy and significant light pollution for the surrounding areas. This article discusses the concept of sustainability with regards to cultural heritage lighting, within the context of the façade lighting of a specific church. The lighting of the Church of the Three Kings in Logatec, Slovenia was replaced in 2014. The power of the installation was reduced 96% from 1.6 kW to 58 W, and spill light from the site was effectively eliminated. As a result, the church is no longer visible in nighttime satellite images of the area, indicating a reduction of waste light from the site of at least a factor of 30. This example demonstrates the dramatic extent to which more general application of lighting design principles could reduce energy consumption and light pollution in the rural European context.
