Washlighting

Asymmetrical washlighting illumination is used for illuminating surfaces evenly. Wallwashing is a highly valued tool in architectural lighting. Vertical illumination emphasises the walls - or other room limits - in terms of their physical makeup. Brightening the wall surfaces makes the room look bigger.

Point-form luminaires lend the wall surface a higher brilliance, whereas with linear luminaires a higher uniformity is achieved. With asymmetrical washlighting, areas of a room can be defined and thus have attention attracted to them. It can also serve as a background for accent lighting or form the ambient brightness for the work place. To obtain a uniform light intensity distribution the correct positioning of the luminaires is of great importance.
