Local hotel where I work regularly has 2 x 500w halogen flood lights above
the front of the building. They essentially just illuminate the pavement
around the entrance & are wall mounted 4m up.

Current policy is to buy el cheapo ones, which last about 6 months & then
rot/rust/leak etc. Changing the lamp or fixture is a PITA because of the
ladder access on a busy street. Apart from which, they are consuming 1000w
just to provide a little illumination.

Any better type of light? Sodium or something, that would use less energy &
give longer lamp/fixture life?
