Wide-beam floodlights set far from the building illuminate the facade evenly. Facades with large protruding sections or insets will feature heavy shadows. Different illuminances or light colours augment the differentitation of the facade. Uplights mark out the internal corners with grazing light.

Differentiated illuminances, light distributions and light colours add rhythm to the appearance of the facade. Harsh contrasts between accentuated and unlit areas can be compensated for by using washlighting to perform the general lighting. Increasing the luminaire offset from the facade reduces the formation of heavy shadow. The luminaire arrangement should correspond to the pattern of facade division.
