Importance of vertical illuminance in architecture
Wall washing is a lighting technique in which vertical, indirect lighting
is placed in the ceiling at a wider distance from the wall. This way, the
light can fall down on the wall in an equal, uniform way.
To optimally achieve the eff ect of wall washing, it is important to pay
att ention to the distance between the fi xtures and the wall.

Uniform light distribution on vertical surfaces
+ downlight eff ect on the fl oor
▪
High cut off to ceiling
▪
Wide luminaire spacing

Ratio of height of the wall to distance luminaire from wall is 1:3 to 1:5
(suitable for narrow spaces)
