Architecture after dark.

Facade lighting, specified by lighting people.

Start a projectExplore the range

A building has two faces.

By day, a facade is lit by the sky. After dark it shows only what you choose to light: the texture of stone, the rhythm of columns, a name over the door. Good facade lighting reveals the architecture with the least light possible, and keeps it off the sky, the neighbours and the road.

How to plan a facade scheme

  • Graze textureLinear luminaires set close to the wall, with narrow beams that pick out stone, brick and timber.
  • Wash and floodWider beams and floodlights for even light across large, flat surfaces.
  • Accent and lineWall lights, in-ground uplights and flexible LED to trace columns, edges and outlines.

Where it works

Ideas for the kinds of project we light most.

Building facades

Give a building presence after dark by lighting its form, not every surface.

Landscape & gardens

Light paths, trees and planting so outdoor spaces are usable and attractive after dark.

Hotels & hospitality

Make hotels, restaurants and bars easy to find and inviting from the street.

Lighting control

Scenes, not switches.

Many of our facade luminaires come with a choice of control, from simple on/off and DALI dimming to DMX512 for colour-changing scenes and pixel control for flexible LED. Options vary by product; we confirm the right driver and controller for every line of your schedule.

  • On/off
  • DALI
  • DMX512
  • 1–10 V
  • SPI

What good facade lighting does — and avoids

✓ It does

  • Reveals the architecture: texture, depth and proportion
  • Uses narrow, well-aimed beams so the light lands on the building
  • Dims and switches off late at night when no one is looking

✕ It avoids

  • Light spilling into the sky, neighbouring windows or the road
  • Glare for people walking past or driving by
  • Flattening a facade with too much, too even light
