Illumination of the facade of a country house

Sometimes the chic and original residential building just looks great in the daytime, but at night it turns for some reason into a dark mysterious and menacing design. All this is explained by the lack of a normal illumination of the facade of the house, which can emphasize its uniqueness and give the picture a cozy residential appearance. Let's look at the types of outdoor lighting and learn how to use it in the private sector most rationally.

Types of architectural lighting

  1. The main functional lighting.
  2. Naturally, the main goal of night illumination is to make people's lives in the house safe and comfortable. First of all, you should fill the main and emergency entrance, stair flights, rest rooms, corridors, garage, garden paths . To do this, use both a searchlight and modern point lights on solar panels .

  3. Decorative lighting.
  4. This kind of lighting the facade of a stone or suburban wooden house is needed to effectively emphasize the given artistic image. For this, several variants of outdoor lighting are currently used. For example, you can almost completely illuminate the residential building at night with floodlight, installing lights, both on the walls and roofs of neighboring structures, and using powerful ground lights. The main thing in this business is not to overdo it, so that very bright lighting, penetrating through the windows, does not interfere with resting residents and neighbors.

    The local lighting is considered more economical, when only selected selected architectural features of the house are illuminated by specially installed devices - columns, arches, tablets, interesting relief of the roof, bas-reliefs and statues. You can also use the hidden illumination of the facade of a country house, which does not detail its silhouette, but gives an opportunity at night to clearly see all the original outlines. Modern types of devices can economically and quite well cope with this task. For example, LED lamps and neon lamps for lighting the facade of a country house, attached to the contour of the building structure, are able to gently and qualitatively radiate the rays of any color palette, emphasizing the beauty of the outlines of your home.
