Wallwashing is an important component of architectural lighting for adding emphasis to room areas and for illuminating higher, vertical faces or wall areas for:
- museums
- exhibitions
- trade-fair stands
- auditoriums
- halls in public buildings and shopping malls
- sales areas
- presentational areas

Surface-mounted luminaires act as a feature in the room. They should correspond to the architecture in their arrangement and form.
