Hello,
we would like to install an outdoor wall light next to our front door (visible from the street) and additional outdoor wall lights on the terrace at the back of the house.
We are not sure whether to choose up/down lighting or direct lighting (or maybe use different solutions for the different areas).
Direct lighting may illuminate more, but it could also cause glare and become annoying, for example when sitting on the terrace facing that direction.
Perhaps an adjustable up/down light would be better (e.g., IP44 slat, just to give you an idea).
What are your experiences?
Thank you in advance!
