Breaking Down Alliance Wall Wash Lights
Unlike wall grazing, wall wash lighting is more focused on creating a soft, even glow on objects or large surfaces. Rather than highlight specific details or bring further attention to a specific location or object, wall washing aims to set a general, inviting tone. Wall wash lighting is best achieved on smooth, uniform surfaces made up of a single color.
To achieve comprehensive wall wash lighting solutions, Alliance offers three variants, which work across a variety of spaces. The smallest version, the FL50, works with smaller G4 bi-pin bulbs, which are perfect for smaller surfaces and objects. For larger facades or for brighter applications, you can opt for the top-of-the-line FL200, which accommodates the larger and more powerful MR16 bulbs.
Regardless of your choice, Alliance offers multiple mounting options for each fixture, such as large ground stakes, risers, or round mounting bases. All Alliance wall wash fixtures are also made from brass materials, though you can opt for an Alliance black brass finish to match specific aesthetics. The FL50 and FL200 are also compatible with the Alliance BT lights system, allowing you to control brightness and color temperature from your smart device.
FAQs on Alliance Wall Wash Lighting
For most users, a color temperature of 2700K is a great starting point for wall washing. Also known as “warm white,” this color temperature setting is reminiscent of traditional incandescent bulbs and evokes a warm and welcoming feeling. Warm white is also easier on the eyes, allowing the illuminated surface to better blend in with the rest of your setup rather than stand out in a negative way.
To make the most of outside light fixtures, brass is one of the most preferred materials because of its high resistance to corrosion. This resistance means that the fixture retains its initial look for longer without you having to worry about its durability during rain, snow, or other types of inclement weather.
We always recommend using outdoor LED bulbs because of their energy efficiency. Unlike incandescent or halogen bulbs, LEDs don’t require high amounts of power and have low heat output. With these features combined, you can expect most LEDs to last anywhere between 25,000 and 50,000 hours.
