Facade lighting – stylish visibility for buildings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Night-time shots of buildings are popular image motifs. Why? Because effective lighting literally puts the building in the right light. Besides architectural monuments, this means of visibility in the dark is used for a whole range of other buildings, from public administration buildings to company headquarters. From our point of view as a manufacturer of high-quality luminaires, the illumination of facades is a challenge. This is because enormously large areas to be illuminated often meet an environment that demands a great deal of the technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good reasons for illuminating building facades<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every building has its own history, which in most cases was the reason for installing facade lighting. But there are also quite pragmatic facts and objectives that speak in favour of such an installation: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Public significance of the building
\u2014 Relevance of buildings or entire streets in terms of monument law
\u2014 Advertising or marking of private company buildings, etc.
\u2014 Temporary lighting campaigns for festive occasions, artistic aspects, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facade lighting equals outdoor lighting – high requirements for outdoor lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The requirements for fa\u00e7ade lighting are high. This is true in several respects because a building facade is logically illuminated from the outside. As such, it exerts a non-negligible influence on its surroundings and often even requires a permit under public law from the authority responsible for emission control. Such a permit is tied to certain criteria that must be met when implementing this outdoor lighting. The decisive factor is the technology used, i.e. the luminaires. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Glare and “light pollution\u201c<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The key point of requiring approval for many facade lighting systems is to limit emissions, which undoubtedly include light. This is because light has the property of influencing the human organism and human well-being. Suitable facade projectors must therefore be able to direct their light onto the building in such a way that the facade is illuminated without unintentionally emitting too much light into the surroundings. The aim is to minimise so-called light pollution. This goal is best achieved if the luminaires used are able to be adjusted as required and the light is adapted to the requirements. Of course, appropriate luminous intensity and light control are also mandatory prerequisites in order to nevertheless reach and illuminate the extensive and sometimes distant facades and facade areas. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Technical resistance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To illuminate a building facade, the projectors used must inevitably be positioned outdoors. This means they are exposed to many influences such as wind and weather, heat and frost, water, dirt and even mechanical stresses. This is because the luminaires are exposed to their environment and thus to all kinds of adversities. A high degree of protection and a high level of resistance are therefore mandatory prerequisites for the technology used for facade lighting. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Facade lighting from Hoffmeister – spotlights and floodlights for spot and area lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our projectors are ideal for facade lighting. Floodlights primarily allow the wide-area illumination of entire building fa\u00e7ades or even parts of the fa\u00e7ade. Linear luminaires from the led.modular<\/a> series impress with a light output of up to 9450 lumens, thus minimising the number of installation points and luminaire locations per fa\u00e7ade. Beam angles of up to 45 degrees provide wide, wide-area lighting that can be used to create efficient yet effective lighting characteristics depending on the brightness requirements and distance from the building. The controllable light distribution from narrow spot to wide beam also offers the option of targeted illumination of individual components such as tower lighting<\/a>, gate areas or roof edges in addition to area lighting. Combined with our line spotlights, they can also be used to accentuate individual, striking fa\u00e7ade areas in addition to basic lighting. We are also happy to assist you with the overall lighting of larger objects, such as architectural lighting<\/a>, castle lighting or palace lighting<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Light colour – impression and perception from cool to cosy<\/h2>

Although our lighting technology for facade illumination only offers a choice of two light colours, 3000 and 4000 Kelvin, this variance is already sufficient to achieve different perceptions. Historic buildings in particular often need to be presented in a cosy rather than cool and forbidding way. A warm light colour optimally implements this requirement. Modern architecture in particular, on the other hand, works better with more restrained or neutral light colours to emphasise the design language without adding too dominant an expression of its own. <\/p><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

High protection standards for luminaires outdoors – moisture, dirt and mechanical stress resistance<\/h2>

For all luminaires used outdoors, the minimum protection standard is IP65 and thus against direct sprinkling. In addition, the linear luminaires of the multi.flood series have a class IK7 impact rating, which corresponds to a force impact of up to 2 joules. Although this does not reliably prevent deliberate and wilful destruction, the luminaires are protected against normal outdoor mechanical stresses at all times. <\/p><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
