In the practical application of outdoor lighting engineering, it is often encountered that the surface of the building is washed and brightened. Most of the time, LED wall washers are used for lighting. However, for places with high lighting requirements or difficult installation environments, there are also situations where LED floodlights are used. So how to choose wall washers and flood lights for actual outdoor lighting projects?
We all know that the led wall washer is a linear light, and the conventional length is 1 meter. Floodlights are mostly square or round. Therefore, before choosing, we need to know what kind of lighting effect we want to achieve.
We can choose according to the lighting characteristics of wall washer and flood light. The light source of the led wall washer is evenly distributed on the linear circuit board, and the light output of the lamp is uniform; while the spotlight has a relatively concentrated light source position, and the brightness of the light-emitting surface of the spotlight is much higher than that of other areas. Under the same parameters, the brightness looks brighter than the wall washer, and the lighting distance is also farther.
If the length requirements of the illuminated building are relatively high, we can first consider using led wall washers as the main lighting fixtures, and supplement the building lighting with flood lights, point light source lamps and other lighting fixtures, so as to achieve the overall Brightening purpose.
If there are strict requirements on the lighting height or lighting the designated area, led flood light is a better choice.
