One of the purposes of architectural lighting is to beautify buildings, beautify space and beautify environment at night, and finally, to beautify people's lives. Therefore, the study of architectural facade lighting design is not only an important task in the field of night lighting, but also the demand of the times.
With the vigorous development of urban construction and the rise of led energy-saving lighting, the design of urban building facade lighting products has been improved gradually .Urban landscape lighting and building facade lighting have entered the stage of popularization.The good expression of the architectural light environment benefits from the continuous deepening of the study on the lighting design and expression methods of the building facade.
Building facade lighting is a culture of nightview lighting, but also an art of architectural beauty.It is an extremely important design concept in architectural lighting . to fully show the city's historical and cultural features and architectural artistic characteristics, the architectural facade lighting should express the architectural style reasonably and effectively according to the artistic structure of the building so as to add luster to the city.
Nowadays, with the continuous development of science and technology, people have reached an unprecedented understanding of the use of light. It is not only the appearance of lamps and lanterns is diverse, but also the choice of light Angle, light color and light intensity is rich and changeable. The question is what kind of luminaires should be the first choice for facade lighting.
LED flood light. compact LED flood light is more and more applied in urban night scene planning such as important landmark buildings ,gardens, monuments, commercial buildings, squares and sculptures . so the most important thing is to choose a good flood lighting product for the building facade. This is the first step in the successful beautification of the urban building facade. If choosing wrong luminaires, it is difficult to achieve the architectural beauty effect what people want to express .
A proper led flood light for building facade should meet the following three basic requirements
a. corrosion-proof
Unlike indoors, the weather outside is changeable and the humidity level may be higher than indoors, especially in the early morning. So it is required that the led flood light , installed outdoors , used for illuminating architectural facade , have a higher corrosion resistance. If your suppliers recommend you to use flood light with plastic shell, think twice. because the plastic shell is very susceptible to weather and then leading to distortion . This irreversible destruction often reduce the IP rating of lamps.
b. adjustable bracket
The purpose, function , structure and style of each building are different. Therefore, the same facade lighting design scheme is unlikely to be applied to all buildings. a floodlight with an adjustable bracket ,however ,allows engineering lighting designers to design different lighting solutions. When the right light is distributed on the facade of the building, and the whole building comes with an interlaced lighting effect of light and fully display the third dimension of the building. If this effect were to be applied on a landmark building, it would be an attractive scenery line.
c. energy saving
The choice of light source for building facade should avoid choosing high energy consumption traditional lamps like HID. LED flood light is featured with high light efficiency, long lifespan, environmentally friendly. In addition,the lighting control solution should also be able to adjust according to the intensity of natural light, so as to keep the equipment operating cost low and achieve the purpose of energy saving.
