Architectural Indoor & Facade Lighting
Facades are the front-facing exterior sides of any building structure. In terms of architecture, they are considered to be one of the most important exterior design elements to determine the overall structure of the building. Hence, exterior facade lighting can transform any structure and highlight its architecture, its key building features and its surroundings.
There are a variety of facade Lighting designs that come different in shapes and sizes.
Exterior facade lighting changes its appearance throughout the day based on natural lighting throughout the day or artificial lighting during the night. You can opt for different types of Facade Lighting for building facade lighting, residential facade lighting or any exterior facade lighting that is well suited for you.
For example, you can pick flood lights, spot projectors, or wall washers for building facade lighting. Similarly, ground burials or window lights for residential facade lighting.

FAQs
Q.1 What is architectural lighting, and how does it differ from decorative lighting?
Architectural lighting integrates with the structure of a building to highlight form, function, and space, often serving both practical and aesthetic purposes. Decorative lighting, by contrast, acts as a visual feature or design statement, focusing on style and appearance.

Purpose | Enhances structure, improves visibility | Adds charm, style, and ambience |
Integration | Built into walls, ceilings, or facades | Standalone fixtures like chandeliers |
Function | Focused on practicality and highlighting design | Focused on aesthetics and mood |
Examples | Wall wash, recessed, façade floodlighting | Pendants, chandeliers, fancy lamps |
Q.2 Which façade lighting techniques (recessed, spot, wall-wash, grazing) are best, and when should I use each?
Technique | Best Use Case | Effect |
Recessed | Minimalist facades, hidden fittings | Subtle illumination with clean lines |
Spot lighting | Highlighting architectural features | Focused beams to draw attention |
Wall-wash | Wide, smooth lighting for flat walls | Creates uniform, soft brightness |
Grazing | Textured surfaces like stone walls | Accentuates depth and material detail |
