The difference between line lights and wall wash lights

Line lights and wall washing lights are common outdoor lighting equipment, they play an important role in urban architecture, landscape decoration and other fields. The following will introduce the difference between line lights and wall washing lights:

-, functional differences:

1. Line lights: Line lights are mainly used to illuminate or decorate buildings through linear design, which can show different shapes such as straight lines and curves to beautify the appearance of buildings. Line lights are usually used to highlight the outline, edge or specific area of a building, and play a role in lighting and decoration.

2. Wall washing lamp: The wall washing lamp is a lamp specially used to illuminate the external wall of the building. Its design inspiration comes from the principle of the wall washing machine, which can achieve a uniform and soft lighting effect on the external wall of the building. The wall wash lamp can cast light on the surface of the building, so that the building shows a unique light and shadow effect at night.

Second, the installation position difference:

1. Line lights: Line lights are usually installed on the edge, outline or specific location of the building to highlight the line beauty and three-dimensional sense of the building. The installation position of the line light is more flexible and can be adjusted according to the design and needs of the building.

2. Wall washing lights: Wall washing lights are usually installed at the bottom or top of the building and are projected from a distance to illuminate the entire exterior wall of the building. The installation position of the wall washing lamp is relatively fixed to ensure the uniform and stable lighting effect.

Three, lighting effect difference.

1. Line lights: The lighting effect of line lights is mainly concentrated on the outline and edge of the building, and different light and shadow effects can be created through the extension and change of the line to enhance the three-dimensional sense of the building and visual impact.

2. Wall washing lights: The lighting effect of wall washing lights is mainly concentrated on the entire exterior wall surface of the building, which shows the overall outline and details of the building through uniform lighting, making the building more eye-catching at night.

4. Differences in application scenarios:

1. Line lights: line lights are suitable for highlighting the lines and contours of buildings, and are suitable for all kinds of building appearance decoration and landscape lighting.

2. Wall washing lamp: Wall washing lamp is suitable for illuminating the entire exterior wall of the building, and is suitable for the overall lighting and landscape display of the building.

In summary, there are certain differences between line lights and wall washing lights in terms of function, installation position, lighting effect and application scenarios. The selection of suitable lighting equipment needs to be reasonable according to the actual needs and design requirements to achieve the desired lighting effect and decorative effect.
