How to paint the wall with lights to reflect the sense of advanced?

If you want to design the main lamp, you must know a term on the lamp, which is called wall washing. This is not difficult to understand. Washing the wall is to sprinkle light on the wall like water, and to brighten the wall evenly with light, so that the wall is smooth and bright. Good wall washing effect will make the space have obvious light and shade changes, decorate and beautify the wall, and also have a sense of atmosphere. There are many kinds of lamps that can be used to paint walls. Let's follow Xiaoyao Gallery to see the wall washing effect of different lamps.

Common wall cleaning methods

1) shoot lights to wash walls

Spotlight is a common wall washing lamp, which is widely used. The light emitted by the spotlight is more concentrated, which is easy to achieve the light and shade effect, and the lighting level creates a sense of advanced space.

Advantages: wide and concentrated irradiation range, adjustable angle, more flexible and suitable for different lighting requirements. Spotlight has various shapes, strong selectivity and good decorative effect.

Disadvantages: Because the central light intensity is high, it is not easy to create soft and uniform illumination, and the dark area will be more obvious.

Installation: it is recommended to be 30cm-40cm away from the wall. There are beam angle points in spotlights, and the size of beam angle not only affects the size of the lighting irradiation surface, but also affects the distribution of lighting wall washing points. The smaller the beam angle, the denser the distribution of points. The light spot is lower when the lamp is far away from the wall, and vice versa.

The comparison of wall washing effect under different beam angles can be clearly seen in the following figure.

2) The lamp belt washes the wall

Led strip is specially made for painting walls. It uses a light source to illuminate the wall, and it also reflects soft and uniform light. Seeing the light but not seeing the light is often used to enhance the layering of lighting design.

Advantages: the light is even and there is no dark area, and it can be bent and moved at will, suitable for different shapes.

Disadvantages: the wall washing area is effective, and the expected effect may not be achieved for the walls with higher floors.

Installation: Leave a slot, too wide will affect the aesthetic feeling, and too narrow will make construction difficult. The recommended temperature is150 mm-200 mm.

3) Lamp wall painting

Downlight wall painting is a kind of embedded spotlight, which has a strong effect. It combines traditional lighting methods, and combines multiple light sources into a line to produce uniform light. Generally, multiple strip lights are used to achieve the overall bright effect.

Advantages: the light spot is soft and uniform, the central ring is weakened, there is no strong contrast between light and shade, and the wall can be washed evenly if it is installed in equal quantity and distance.

Disadvantages: There are still dark areas near the corners of the ceiling area.

Installation: Choose the lighting distance according to personal preference, and there is no hard and fast requirement.

4) Cleaning the wall surface of the track lamp

Some homes have no ceiling and bare walls. At this time, track lights are needed to save the scene. A fixed track is installed on the wall, and the lamps can move freely on the track. Different accessories can present different light and shadow effects.

Advantages: you can freely choose the style, the lamp holder can be flexibly adjusted, there is a ceiling that can be embedded in the ceiling, and there is no ceiling that can be exposed. Neither of them affects the appearance, and exposure can also add points to the shape.

Disadvantages: it is easy to make people dizzy, and the effect of preventing dizziness is poor.

Installation matters: it is necessary to leave lines in advance to determine the length and position of the track. Generally speaking, the distance between the track device and the wall is 40-60 cm. As mentioned earlier, the lamp holder can be flexibly adjusted, so there is no fixed answer to the distance, depending on personal preference.

5) clean the wall with polarized light.

Polarized light covers half the aperture and releases half the aperture, so that the generated light is purer, softer and evenly spread on the wall.

Advantages: Combining the advantages of Led strip and spotlights, the light is softer and more uniform, and the wall looks smooth and clean.

Disadvantages: If the budget is insufficient, this lamp is not recommended because of its high installation cost.

Installation matters: the installation requirements are high, and the distance between lamps and walls: the distance between lamps and lanterns = 1: 1. In addition, the distance between the two sides should be about 0.8m, so that the whole wall will look neat and clean.

There are many details about lighting. If you don't pay attention to it, the final effect is quite different from what you think. You can win by using the lights unexpectedly. The above is for your reference. I hope your home can be made into an ideal look.
