The Importance of Natural Light

Natural light plays a very important role in the design and construction of buildings. This type of light not only helps improve the quality of life of residents, but also has many benefits for physical and mental health. Here are some of the importance of natural light in buildings:

• Improving mental and physical health
• Saving energy consumption
• Increasing productivity and focus
• Improving the appearance and attractiveness of the space
• Protecting the environment

Spot Lighting Method for Buildings

Spot lighting for buildings is a modern and attractive method for lighting buildings. This type of lighting uses small, high-power LED lights to illuminate specific points of the building and gives the facade a beautiful and unique look. Spot lighting for buildings can be used both indoors and outdoors. In indoor lighting, this method is used to highlight architectural elements such as columns, walls, and ceilings. In outdoor lighting, this method is used to illuminate facades, gardens, and outdoor areas.

One of the very special features of these facade lighting lights is that they are waterproof, which makes them highly resistant to water and rainy, snowy, and humid weather conditions.

For spot lighting, three types of lamps are usually used, known as the main light (Key Light), the fill light (Fill Light), and the background light (Back Light). This technique helps create images with depth and balance and is especially useful in professional photography and videography.

 

Natural Building Lighting

Windows provide natural light to a building. Usually 20% of rooms are windows. Proper lighting should be a combination of natural and artificial light. Northern light is colder and weaker than southern light, but it shows colors more realistically. Southern light gives a warm theme to colors that create a pleasant mood in the evening. In addition to windows, the following also play a role in providing natural light to a building:

• The quantity and quality of natural light in the building
• The orientation of the house (northern or southern)
• The size, shape of the room and its angles

Types of Facade Lighting Lights

Spot Lighting of Buildings Not every type of lamp can be used to light the facade of a building, and it is necessary to use lighting lights specific to each space based on factors such as: architectural style, type of lighting, waterproofness or not, the amount of light required, and the desired space. Below, we will introduce the types of facade lighting lights.

Linear or Linear Facade Lights:

They are an innovative technology in the building lighting industry that, by utilizing high-quality materials and heat sinks made of aluminum, presented a new style of lighting to the market. These lights have the ability to dissipate heat to an acceptable level, which results in a long lifespan of the light. Also, due to the hidden design of linear lights, it is possible to install these lights in two ways: surface-mounted and built-in

The price of linear lights is slightly higher than other facade lighting lamps, and the Shamim Andisheh Lighting Team recommends that this type of lighting not be used for small buildings and low-use applications because it will not be economically viable at all.

LED lights (LED wall washers):

These types of facade lighting lights use LED technology, which consumes less energy and, as a result, significantly reduces the building’s energy costs. This type of light can be used for various types of lighting in the building. LED wall washers distribute light evenly and uniformly across all walls and columns of the building, making the design and architecture of the building more attractive at night.

In addition, the angle of light emission of LED lights is adjustable, which allows for uniform and targeted lighting. However, it should be noted that these types of projectors are not suitable for all types of buildings and require a detailed assessment of the type and facade of the building. For a detailed assessment, consult Shamim Andisheh Company.

Decorative facade lights:

Decorative facade lights have become one of the most popular and popular lamps among the types of facade lighting lamps in recent years. These lights are available in two types: wall and pendant and add a special and captivating beauty to the facade of the building.

Burial Lights:

Burial lights, also known as ground lights, are often installed in the ground and provide part of the lighting of a building. These lights are often used for houses with yards, gardens, restaurants, reception halls, and similar environments because of their ability to be installed in the ground.

Hose light strings:

This method is one of the very cheap methods for lighting the facade of a building that has its own fans. Due to the wide variety of light, low light, and reasonable price, some people are interested in this method. Using hose light strings can be suitable for indoor, small spaces, or outdoor spaces that do not require special lighting.

Linear Facade Lighting with Jet Light:

Spot Lighting of Buildings In this type of linear lighting, as the name suggests, jet light is used to illuminate and enhance the exterior of the building. Jet lights are a type of new lamp that has high light output. The lamps used in jet lights are LED whose light is provided by a powerful COB. COB is a compact circuit consisting of small LEDs that consume very low energy while providing very high illumination. Jet light lamps are surface-mounted and are used for high-rise buildings.

 

Smart Lighting Method:

SMD Pixel Smart Facade Lighting is a type of LED lighting that is made up of small LED modules called pixels. Each pixel has its own LED light source and a controller chip that allows it to be individually controlled for color and brightness. This helps create dynamic and complex light displays that are ideal for facade lighting, signage, and other creative lighting applications.

 

 

Cost of Exterior Lighting

The cost of exterior lighting depends on a variety of factors, including the type of lights, the number of lights, the quality and brand of the products, as well as the complexity of the design and installation. In general, costs can range from a few hundred thousand to several million tomans and require planning and scheduling. For example, LED wall washers and jet lights usually cost more, while linear and recessed lights may cost less. Also, the cost of installing and implementing the lighting must be considered, which can vary depending on the complexity of the project and the need for special equipment.

Important points in selecting and installing building facade lights

1. Choosing the right type of lights

• LED lights: energy-efficient, long-lasting, and suitable for creating various lighting effects.
• Projector lights: suitable for broad lighting and highlighting specific parts of the facade.
• Wall lights or wall washers: to create uniform light on the surface of the building facade.
• Point lights: to emphasize architectural details such as columns or sculptures.

2. Pay attention to the color temperature of the light

• Warm light (3000 Kelvin): for classic buildings or residential facades that inspire a sense of warmth and tranquility.
• Cool light (6000 Kelvin): for modern or commercial buildings that create a stylish and professional appearance.
• Neutral light (4000 Kelvin): a balanced option for different applications.

3. The resistance of the lights to environmental factors

• IP protection level: The lights must have an appropriate protection level (IP65 or higher) to be resistant to dust and water.
• Body materials: Use materials that are resistant to rust and corrosion, such as aluminum or stainless steel.

4. Planning in lighting design

• Coordination with the building architecture: Lighting should be in harmony with the architectural style of the building (classic, modern or industrial).
• Division of lighting areas: Designing different parts of the facade to avoid uniform lighting and create depth.
• Creating light contrast: Combining shadow and light to highlight architectural details.

5. Choosing the appropriate angle and installation location

• Light beam angle: Lights should be installed in a way that prevents glare for passersby and residents.
• Appropriate distance: The distance between lights should be adjusted so that the lighting is uniform and without dark spots.
• Position of lights: Install in places where there is easy access for maintenance and repair.
