Russian term or phrase: засветка and паразитная засветка
The context is an interview with the heads of a video-mapping / light show studio.

Here's the passage:

С помощью света мы планировали передавать динамическое изображение на дома. Нам показалось это коммерчески интересным и оправданным. Но идея оказалась провальной – есть ряд особенностей, которых мы не учли. Во-первых, изображение издалека не видно, потому что на него попадает много паразитной засветки. Во-вторых, возникает куча проблем с согласованием этих рекламных площадей.

I'm interested in definitions of both засветка on its own (since I wasn't able to find it in any of my dictionaries, and it might come in handy in future) and the term паразитная засветка.

Explanation:
Multitran has many definitions of засветка (see reference), the prolem is to decide which one applies. I thought it might be "blanket exposure, but you may think one of the other definitions suits your context better.
According to the definition below, паразитная засветка is "flare light".
