I am still thinking about grid redesign, but it appears there is no GOOD way to do it without wasting lights. The window space is just too small. I have also been thinking about other things I could do to "spice up" the display with such limited space, so here is my first idea: floodlights. Given my location and being near the lounge window, I could place and use about 4 flood lights (2 red 2 green) and use them without disturbing my neighbors. I have one wall face nearby that has no windows, and if I place the floodlights at the base of building and aim up, I believe I can light the building without hitting the windows (recessed windows and we have A/C units built into the building below our windows, so the vents for that protrude about 1.5 inches, which should help block light nearing windows.) The placement will be tricky, but i have no doubt I can find suitable places, but this could be something the administration will frown upon. Also, placement here could be wasteful depending on where the floodlights can actually go, so it may take more than four. Typically, you place floodlights away from the building so you can light the whole building, but that's not an option for me because it will light up other dorm windows.
