Hello forum,
does anyone have a good tip for exterior up & down lighting for a house wall?
It is important that the light reaches about 4m (13 feet) upwards. Downwards, 2m (6.5 feet) is sufficient. An adjustable beam angle would also be nice.
The fixture should be rectangular and in anthracite or graphite gray.

I have looked at some options online, but the light intensity and beam reach seem to be lacking.

hm… a car for €80,000 with 15-inch wheels? That really doesn't make sense.
Ours costs only €30,000 with 17-inch wheels.
That would probably also explain the desire for façade lighting.
Lighting = car/wheel
Edit: Sorry, I’m out now too. These are just open invitations, it’s hard for me to hold back.

It is modern to incorporate such visual effects.

However, one should also consider light pollution.

Why don’t we discuss the practicality of single-family houses right from the start? They are not ecologically sensible.
This is about the topic of lighting.

What contribution have you made to my question? You have behaved more like uninvited guests. The welcome news is “finally out.”
Furthermore, the meaning of my statement was not understood. Please consider 15-inch wheels/tires on your €30,000 vehicle. It would be more environmentally sensible.

This combination doesn’t exist (unfortunately), but unlit façades do. 😉

Of course, it’s frustrating when you ask a simple question and first get a long lecture about the purpose of the project.
But you have to expect that. It wouldn’t be any different if you asked about certain types of stones for a gravel area in the front yard.

We live in a time when, fortunately, more and more people understand that the saying "ownership entails responsibility" truly means something—namely, the responsibility we have toward the environment.

If you prefer to ignore that, you’ll just have to skip these posts. Maybe they’ll still raise awareness for some.

Personally, I think illuminated houses and gardens look very nice, especially when walking by. But our house will not be lit up—what’s the point? I don’t benefit from it personally, and I’m not interested in impressing the neighbors.
Garden lighting is only used in winter, when it does not disturb insects AND I can see it from inside the living area in the evening.
