Highlights in Exterior Home Lighting

My name is Brent Shelly with Expert Village and we are talking about lighting design today. Flood lighting typically creates a more flatter effect lighting effect. Like I have talked about earlier if you have a fixture up close to the building. If you are close to the feature or close to the wall and grazing it then you are going to get more shadow and more dimension. If you are further back from the feature or further back from the wall and you light it from a distance it is going to be a flatter effect. Both of those work in conjunction with one another and you need to know when to apply each of those different techniques. Depending on the application. If you have any strong architectural features on your building you would probably want to light those and feature those. You can do this with spot lights or flood lights depending on the size of the feature. Just step back at the street, look at your house and think what is that I would want to see? What is it that I want to highlight? How can I show this building off?
