Wall washing and wall grazing are both techniques used in lighting design to illuminate walls, but they are different in their approach and effects.
Wall washing refers to a lighting technique where a broad and even wash of light is applied to a wall, creating a soft and uniform illumination. The light source is placed at a distance from the wall, and aimed to cover as much of the surface as possible. The purpose of wall washing is to create a smooth and consistent background light that can help to reduce shadows and create a sense of spaciousness in a room.
On the other hand, wall grazing refers to a lighting technique where a beam of light is directed at a wall from a close distance, usually less than a foot away. The light source is aimed to skim the surface of the wall, highlighting its texture and creating dramatic shadows and highlights. The purpose of wall grazing is to accentuate the architectural details of a wall, such as texture, relief, and color, and to create a dynamic and visually interesting effect.
In summary, wall washing creates a soft and even illumination of a wall, while wall grazing highlights the wall’s texture and creates a dramatic effect.
Our BEAMFLEX flexible LED wall washer wall grazer lights have the beam angles of 13° 25° and 45°, they can used for both wall washing and wall grazing lighting applications.
