So, why

  2. let all your labored work go in vain when, with a glide of a switch plus some strategically positioned landscape exterior lights, you can con?dently roll back the dimness and let the display do the talking? When done right, exterior lightings can turn your environment into a bliss. They help highlight any home’s architectural features— something which will obviously draw attention to the backyard. Whether you are looking for architectural or even security outdoor lighting, the right systems will de?nitely provide that visual oomph in addition to a safety boost to your home or business building. Security Is a Key Factor There are so many reasons that can prompt you to light your outdoor area. The most obvious one being safety and security. The lighting requirements for a parking lot is dependent on traf?c. However, this shouldn’t worry you because recommended illumination levels can be obtained from the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES). Carefully observe its suggestions to avoid possible insecurity issues. Safety: Safety means staying safe from tripping over an obstacle or walking into a tree and the required light levels for this are actually very low. One can see quite well in the moonlight and that’s just about 0.02 foot-candles. Security: On the other hand, security refers to protection from people and threats. To achieve a considerable sense of security for your property, you’ll need to boost outdoor arti?cial lighting. If you are in the garage or parking area, you need to know if someone is plotting to mug you. You also need facial recognition to choose between ?ght and ?ight. And picking such visual cues requires an illumination level of 3 foot-candles. A safe outdoor is very important to any home, building or organization, so be keen to provide suf?cient lighting in the exteriors.  The Power of Aesthetics

  3. The other reason for enhancing your outdoor lighting is aesthetics. Remember, lighting is an important feature of attracting renters to your property. So, it should be taken seriously. You want to ensure that your building looks open and inviting, just like a community beacon. Exterior Spaces Require Attention Illuminating outdoor spaces entails paying special attention to light ?xture position, intensity, and color in addition to duration. When properly combined, these factors will surely realize the right lighting design that is capable of achieving safety, ef?ciency in terms of energy consumption, and cost reduction. Exterior Lighting: The Golden Advice Exterior lighting is effective at giving dimension to any building plus the surrounding landscape. However, they are not all about ?ooding your surfaces with light. You should highlight small. This means highlighting a few structural parts with a vivid spotlight. Showering the walls with twinkles of light can create a dramatic effect, giving the exterior a different appearance at dusk. However, when designing your exterior lighting ?xtures, consider the texture, brick & stone color and steelwork. Exterior Lighting – The Power of Going Architectural Rather than simply lighting your exterior space with ordinary bulbs, use architectural lighting to brighten it up and add some elegance.

  4. But, take caution not to create glare or light pollution. Also, consider other users (for instance those inside) since badly placed lighting can cause glare-related problems to other building users. Façade lighting: Making Non-engineering Decisions Façade lighting is not about numbers. Of course, engineers will compute the vertical luminance, luminance plus uniformity values for your building—however, that isn’t the prime goal. You need to make numerous non-engineering decisions. For instance, determine if you are intending to let the building blend in /stand out. Are you after a subtle or “in the face” effect? Which colors do you want? Making your building look “wow” is down to your aesthetic judgment. In case you are unsure about your decisions, consult an exterior lighting designer, an architect, or planner about your target effect. Remember, it’s always better to highlight certain parts of the building as opposed to ?ooding the entire façade with uniformed light.   EXTERIOR LIGHTING FAÇADE LIGHTING LIGHTING BUILDING EXTERIORS LIGHTING EXTERIORS OUTDOOR LIGHTING PREVIOUS POST Color Characteristics of LEDs
