How To Choose the Installation Location of LED Wall Washer Lamps

wonder how far away should the wall washer be installed?

wonder how far away should the wall washer be installed?

The golden ratio of wall washer lighting is

distance between the lamp and the wall to the height of the piece you want to

wash the wall, the ratio between them is 1:3

whole wall, your wall is 3m high, then the lamp should be 0.8 meters to 1 meter

Must not place the lamp too close to the wall, otherwise the following consequences will occur:

Because the lamp is too close to the wall, the mural picture is uneven, the light spot is messy, and the grade atmosphere has dropped a lot

Other corridors at home, if you think it is narrow, you should not install spotlights to take pictures under the ground at this time, it will be narrower. You should illuminate the wall, this time the space looks very comfortable.

wall, which will make the corridor appear narrower

I want to remind you here that wall-washing lighting is mainly suitable for smoother walls with uniform materials and does not want to deliberately create a shadowed wall effect. This is like: If you are a girl with acne, then the ordinary foundation may not make your skin look even and bright.

effect on the left side of the wall in the above picture is obviously better

than that on the right, and this is because this rough wall is not suitable for

the lighting method to be introduced next-wall cleaning lighting.

difference between wall cleaning and wall washing, the purpose they want to

If you say, wall washing is to make the face makeup foundation, evenly brighten, then wall cleaning is similar to shading the face, I hope this face has a high and low level of vision. That is to say, this lighting method puts more emphasis on the material of the wall and highlights the visual effect brought by the texture of the wall itself.

Using the polishing method, the texture of the wall and the texture of the unevenness are reflected, and the visual effect is great.

The lighting method of wall cleaning can better reflect the texture of the wall material.

hide the lamp in the groove, and wipe out the light groove, so that the texture

and shadow of the entire wall are revealed, so the texture of this wall will be

particularly obvious, resulting in a fierce collision of light and shadow .

It is worth noting that the application of wall cleaning has high requirements for the light distribution of the lamps. If the beam angle you use is not narrow enough, the texture of the wall will not be expressed.

lamps and lanterns is also very particular. The installation position should be

very close to the wall, and it should not be completely attached. It is

generally recommended to be less than 1:5 or even 1:10.

the ratio of the distance of your lamp from the wall to the height of the

should be very narrow, and they must be hidden in a groove near the wall, but

not too close. For example, if your wall is more than two meters, then the

distance between the wall cleaning lamp and the wall is 200/ More than 300 such

relief wall. This is the way of rubbing the wall. This relief wall is

gold-plated. Its bumps are not particularly deep, but because there is not a

whole row of spotlights against the wall, the beam shines down. The texture of

the relief is very obvious, and the three-dimensional sense is also very

The lamp is too far away from the wall, and the downlight with a wide beam angle is used, so that the three-dimensional sense is completely absent and the texture of the relief is not reflected.
