To achieve the right effect in outdoor or façade lighting, it’s important to understand how different techniques work. Each method creates a unique visual impact and serves a specific purpose:

• Uplighting: Fixtures installed at ground level cast light upward onto walls, columns, or plants. The method produces dramatic shadows and highlights verticals and textures.
• Downlighting: Mounted higher on walls or soffits, these fixtures cast light downward to create a more natural moonlight effect, commonly used near entrances or large surfaces.
• Wall Washing: Broad beam angles bring Diverse coverage on large, flat surfaces. The method reduces the number of shadows and improves the color and texture of the walls.
• Wall Grazing: Lights are placed close to textured surfaces to emphasize depth. Ideal for stone, brick, or wood facades where texture is an important visual element.
• Silhouetting and Backlighting: Placing lights behind objects (such as sculptures, trees, or partitions) results in a dramatic silhouette that looks interesting but does not expose.

Spotlighting and Accent Lighting: Focused beams highlight specific details such as arches, logos, signage, or decorative elements.
