Night Facade Lighting

At night, ground projectors aim narrow beams at a stone building. Bright columns and statues stand against deep shadows, making the facade’s depth visible.

In the picture

  1. A column edge: a bright vertical line where light grazes the stone.
  2. A statue’s shoulder: a lit surface that stands out from the dark wall behind.
  3. A recessed niche: a dark cavity beside lit masonry.
  4. A ground projector: a small box aimed upward at the facade.

Examples

  • A museum facade lit for an evening event.
  • A city square statue lit from below at night.
