Wall washing and vertical illumination are not mere decorative choices; they are essential elements of successful interior design that affect how we interact with our environments.
By incorporating these lighting techniques, we can transform spaces, enhance functionality, and evoke desired emotional responses, making any setting more dynamic and engaging. Investing in effective wall washing not only beautifies a space but also significantly improves its usability and enhances the overall experience for everyone who enters.
Scientific studies around human-centric principles emphasise the critical role vertical illuminance plays in both office and educational settings. Research indicates that adequate vertical lighting can significantly enhance visibility, reduce eye strain, and improve overall spatial perception.
In office environments, vertical illuminance helps reduce glare on screens and improves the clarity of documents and presentations. Studies show that classrooms with sufficient vertical illuminance can enhance students’ focus and retention and can contribute to better classroom dynamics through improved engagement. A well-lit vertical surface can also foster collaboration by providing better visibility for shared workspaces.
To assist designers in effectively incorporating vertical illuminance into interior spaces, we have developed an innovative series of Flex wall washer luminaires. These luminaires are offered in three distinct mounting options: recessed, surface-mounted, and track-mounted.
Each mounting style is designed to cater to specific design needs and spatial constraints, providing unique performance benefits. For instance, recessed luminaires offer a discreet, integrated look, while track-mounted luminaires provide flexibility in positioning when on-site conditions may not be conducive to traditional wall washing techniques.
Our Flex wall washers provide exceptional performance, achieving impressive results with a spacing to offset ratio of 2:1. This means that designers can confidently space the luminaires while still maintaining optimal vertical illuminance, creating a vibrant and well-lit environment.
