1, The importance of setting the spacing between wall washing lamps
The spacing between wall washing lamps is directly related to the quality of lighting effects. Excessive spacing may lead to overlapping light rays, causing visual confusion; Excessive spacing may create dark areas on the wall, affecting the overall lighting effect. Therefore, a reasonable spacing setting is the key to ensuring the lighting effect of wall washing lamps.
2, Factors affecting the spacing between wall washing lamps
Wall material and color: Different materials and colors of walls have different abilities to reflect and absorb light. Generally speaking, light colored walls have strong reflection ability and require smaller spacing; The opposite is true for dark walls.
Lamp power and beam angle: The power and beam angle of a lamp determine its illumination range and brightness. The higher the power and the smaller the beam angle of the lamp, the more concentrated the illumination range, and the spacing can be appropriately increased; On the contrary, it is necessary to reduce the spacing.
Lighting requirements and scenes: Different scenes have different lighting requirements. For example, commercial areas may require higher brightness to attract customers; Residential areas, on the other hand, place greater emphasis on a comfortable and warm atmosphere. Therefore, when setting the spacing between wall washing lights, adjustments need to be made according to specific scenarios.
Environmental factors: Environmental factors such as wind direction, rainwater, etc. may also have an impact on the spacing of wall washing lamps. In areas with strong winds, it is necessary to ensure that the lighting fixtures are installed firmly to prevent displacement or damage caused by excessive wind; In areas with high rainfall, it is necessary to choose lamps with better waterproof performance and adjust the spacing appropriately to ensure lighting effectiveness.
3, Principles for setting the spacing between wall washing lamps
Uniformity principle: The spacing between wall washing lamps should ensure even wall lighting and avoid obvious dark areas or bright spots. Generally speaking, reasonable spacing can be calculated based on the height of the wall and the lighting range of the fixtures.
The principle of hierarchy: On the basis of ensuring uniformity, the spacing of some lighting fixtures can be adjusted appropriately to create a sense of hierarchy. For example, at the turning points or key areas of the wall, the spacing between lamps can be appropriately increased to highlight their characteristics.
Energy conservation and environmental protection principle: On the premise of meeting lighting needs, the power and spacing of lamps should be minimized as much as possible to reduce energy consumption. At the same time, energy-saving lamps and intelligent control systems can be selected to further improve the energy-saving effect.
4, Practical operation suggestions
When setting the spacing between wall washing lamps, a rough range of spacing can be calculated based on the height of the wall and the lighting range of the lamps.
During the actual installation process, adjustments can be made according to the on-site situation. For example, in situations where the wall is uneven or there are obstacles, the spacing can be appropriately reduced to ensure the lighting effect.
After installation, on-site testing can be conducted to check whether the lighting effect meets the requirements. If necessary, the illumination angle and brightness of the lamps can be adjusted appropriately to achieve the best effect.
