Reveal Texture
Use grazing distance and beam angle to express stone, brick, concrete or timber texture.
Facade and Textured Wall Lighting
Architectural facade lighting for stone, concrete and textured walls, with adjustable beam control for grazing, highlighting material depth and defining building identity after dark.
Outdoor Lighting Design Priorities
Coordinate Setback
Setback controls whether the facade reads as soft wash, strong graze or selective accent.
Create Night Identity
Balance vertical brightness so the building is recognizable without excessive contrast.
Protect the Exterior
Choose IP-rated luminaires, proper drainage and finishes suitable for exterior exposure.
Limit Spill Light
Aim carefully to avoid glare into windows, roads, neighbouring buildings and sky.
Lighting by Facade Element
Stone & Brick Texture
Use PROFOCUS close to the wall because grazing light reveals relief, joints and material depth. A normal wide wash can make the facade look flat, while grazing creates stronger night-time character.
10-30 deg narrow/medium
50-200 lx on facade
CRI 80+
Tall Facade Bays
Use narrower, higher-output accents because the beam must travel farther and still keep brightness on the upper wall. This prevents the lower facade from being bright while the top disappears.
10-24 deg narrow
80-250 lx vertical
CRI 80+
Columns & Pilasters
Use controlled vertical beams because columns need rhythm, not random spill. Lighting each structural element helps customers read the building form from a distance.
10-20 deg narrow
80-200 lx on column
CRI 80+
Windows & Repeated Openings
Use WINDOW LIGHT or carefully aimed facade accents because window rhythm is part of the architecture. Symmetrical light around openings keeps the elevation elegant and avoids glare into the room.
Symmetric or 15-36 deg
Balanced vertical brightness
CRI 80+
Entrance Wall & Signage
Use adjustable accent light because brand signs and entrance walls need clearer focus than the surrounding facade. The beam should be aimed after installation so the logo is readable without over-lighting the wall.
15-36 deg accent
100-300 lx on sign/wall
CRI 80+
