Elevation Lights

Elevation lights are outdoor lighting fixtures used to illuminate and highlight the exterior of a building. They can be used on front walls, façades, balconies, boundary walls and other architectural features to enhance the appearance of a home after dark. Common options include wall lights, LED wall washers, spotlights and linear lights.

Choose elevation lights based on the area you want to illuminate, the architectural features you want to highlight and the type of lighting effect you prefer. Wall washing can provide a broad, even glow, while wall grazing can bring out the texture of stone, brick or other surfaces. For outdoor installations, also consider the fixture’s weather protection, brightness, beam angle and colour temperature.

In home architecture, the four common types of elevation are front elevation, rear elevation, side elevation and interior elevation. The front elevation shows the main exterior of the house, while the rear and side elevations show the other exterior faces. Interior elevation refers to a vertical view of an indoor space. When planning elevation lighting, the front and side elevations are often the main focus for exterior lighting design.
