Does your facade look ordinary? Does it look like all the others and you want to stand out? You're right, the look of a facade is very important. But how can you make it more attractive? With a simple outdoor led lightingit's possible! Discover our tips for illuminating your facade and making its architecture stand out.
Why illuminate your facade?
Today, outdoor lighting is no longer just about illuminating the garden to make it easier to get around. It now also has a decorative function, enhancing a wide range of features. Flowerbeds, terraces, trees... everything, even the facade. An illuminated façade enhances a house and its architecture. If you have a small balcony, porch or cornice, façade lighting will highlight this unique feature and add a certain amount of value to your home. Illuminating your facade is also a way of finding your way around easily after dark, but above all it's a way of deterring intruders. It's a guarantee of security and practicality that enhances the whole home, provided the lighting is well chosen.
Different types of lighting for facades
When it comes to illuminating your facade, you can't choose just any lighting solution. You can choose between floodlights, exterior wall lights, spotlights and even facade bars. So, how do you choose?
Low-angled lighting
Grazing lighting is characterized by linear luminaires that provide continuous illumination, ideal for illuminating a wall from above or below. Grazing lighting can be used to highlight a surface. For example, if you have a raised or exposed stone wall with protruding parts, low-angled lighting will highlight the irregularities to accentuate the picturesque spirit and uniqueness of your home. "For this, you can use spotlights that will bring a warm, chic atmosphere to your facade. Lumihome also offers you the RGB CCT outdoor LED façade barexplains Christophe Coelho. Ideal for creating an original lighting effect on your wall or facade, this bar is equipped with a swivel bracket for precise adjustment of luminous flux. It's not only effective, it's also aesthetically pleasing thanks to its exclusive design, which cleverly blends aluminum and high-resistance glass."
Overhead lighting
Downlighting can be a good idea if you want to brighten up your facade while adding a touch of light to what's at the foot of the wall. So, if you've arranged flower pots, climbing plants or other decorative elements, they too will be enhanced by downlighting, but without blinding your guests. If you're looking for sober, unobtrusive light, the wall lamp is ideal. Discover Lumihome's wide range of 230V LED wall lights and choose from a wide range of models, each more refined than the last. Wall-mounted, they can illuminate an entrance door, porch or passageway. Discover the modernity and contemporary design of the Pyramide LED sconce, the refinement of the Liberty sconce, or the traditional charm and originality of the Castle sconce. What's more, to avoid any risk of glare, you can opt for sconces that diffuse light upwards and downwards. The effect is guaranteed!
To light up your facade, LED spotlights are also an excellent solution, and have the advantage of providing powerful illumination! Lumihome's solar LED spotlight is highly efficient. Thanks to its unique solar sensor, it recharges in all weathers to provide powerful lighting.
