The smaller the pixel pitch, the higher quality the image can be displayed on the LED screen.

In order to select the optimal pixel pitch, first of all it is necessary to understand the location for installing the screen, and secondly, to determine the minimum distance from which the image will be read.

There is no point in choosing a pitch of 3 mm for a screen installed on the facade of a building with a minimum viewing distance of 10 m.

The minimum distance (MD) from the screen to the viewer is directly proportional to the pixel pitch (PPE).

For example:
MR – 1 m = ШП – 1.2, 1.5 mm.
MR – 3 m = ШП – 3 mm.
MR – 10 m = ShP – 10mm.

Would you like advice on lighting design?

It helps to give uniqueness and originality to the architectural style, artistic features and elements exterior lighting of buildings. The creation of competent and functional street lighting must take into account a variety of environmental circumstances. It should be focused on a huge number of different features and stylistic solutions of the surrounding architecture. In addition, the functional component is very important. Lighting must be solved in a way that excludes interference in the usual course of human life.

To easily calculate the required number of lamps, use the Calculator for calculating the number of lamps.

Types of building lighting.

The type of lighting equipment is selected taking into account the type of building and the functionality of the lighting structure. Motion sensors are used when it is necessary to rationally use electricity and at the same time create a visible lighting element. With the help of spotlights, the main lighting of buildings is formed.

A centralized system is used to simplify the control of lighting fixtures.

These types of lighting systems can be used either together or separately, making it much easier to create suitable lighting.

Lighting equipment for architectural lighting.

Such lighting is used when it is necessary to emphasize the advantageous features of the facade architecture and divert attention from the shortcomings. Popularity among this type of building lighting Energy-saving technologies are becoming increasingly popular.

Possible technical solutions for lighting of this format:

o Full height or flood lighting.

o Virtually invisible or hidden lighting of buildings.

o Highlighting the main elements of the building or the general façade.

LED facade lighting or LED lighting.

This type of lighting is now the most popular in the lighting equipment market. On the one hand, it easily copes with its task, favorably emphasizing the facade; on the other hand, it has a number of additional advantages in the form of economical energy consumption, a large selection of colors, ease of installation, system management and maintenance.

This method is the easiest to implement and involves the combination of various lighting techniques and devices. When using this method of lighting, a very important point is professional design, which allows you to take into account all the nuances of proper lighting of the facade. More often decorative lighting of buildings involves the use of LED lighting, strip lights and spotlights.

When creating this type of lighting, the most popular are the latest technologies in the form of LED equipment (the most popular is duralight), as well as a transparent polymer cord with LEDs built inside. This cord is particularly durable combined with a high level of flexibility and ease of installation.

Here they use garland-shaped equipment of various types, strips of LEDs with variable illumination. In this way, the emphasis is placed on the desired element architecture by illuminating the building's outline.

Here it turns out uniform lighting of buildings. This type of façade lighting uses halogen and incandescent lamps. It is not advisable to use this type of lighting when illuminating the facades of small buildings.

This lighting system is the most thoughtful, as it takes into account all the factors that are important for the winning design of the facade: the brightness and direction of sunlight, the current time of day, etc.

This system, compared to others, has the additional ability to design the facade in the form of creating animation, which allows you to emphasize the special individuality of the building’s facade in comparison with the rest of similar buildings.

Another type of street façade lighting is building entrance lighting. And here a huge number of professional nuances arise, the correct solution of which only competent specialists can do, so the best solution would be to entrust such work to them.

Dynamic lighting is very good both for illuminating buildings and for designing mobile scenes.

Architectural lighting is the main way to create a favorable emotional light environment, which emphasizes the external advantages of buildings and structures, and also highlights their individual elements. Illumination of building facades, or, as it is also called, architectural lighting, comes in two types: functional and artistic. Often they are combined into a single design solution.

"Active Design" offers a full range of services, from design to installation and maintenance of architectural lighting of buildings.

Thanks to the use of modern LED technologies and the well-coordinated work of a team of experienced professionals, we will help you bring to life the most daring developments in the field of architectural lighting. Our company cooperates with direct manufacturers and suppliers of imported and domestic lighting equipment, which allows our clients to choose the most optimal option and significantly reduce the cost and production time.

What is the project for?

What does the project include?

• Lighting model, in which the entire calculated part of the proposed architectural lighting of the facade will be noted;
• A clear plan in accordance with which all lighting elements will be arranged;
• Selection of various options for lighting solutions using optimally suitable equipment that corresponds to the best embodiment of the design idea and functionality;
• Necessary technical documentation for professional installation of lighting devices.

Types of architectural lighting

• Pouring. With this type of work, the façade of the building is illuminated over its entire area. The surface is illuminated evenly, highlighting the building and highlighting its architecture.
• General. With the help of such lighting, the main architectural elements of a building are usually highlighted. Often, in this way they want to emphasize the unusual historical decoration of the facade or the modern style of the building.
• Background. Such architectural lighting highlights the building, focusing all attention on it. For such lighting, diffused light lamps are used.
• Local. Local lighting is used to highlight individual elements of a building (for example, window and door openings).
• Contour. Contour facade lighting is used to illuminate the boundaries of the building contour using linear LED lamps.
• Hidden. This method of working with light almost completely eliminates the functional component of the backlight. Such lighting is designed to a greater extent to create a light pattern.

Architectural lighting is the illumination of building facades, providing an artistic play of light to realize the designer’s ideas. This type of outdoor lighting is used not only for houses, but also for monuments and billboards, because its purpose is to emphasize the beauty of objects at night, to highlight them.

General tasks of facade lighting

Facade lighting was invented in the USA at the beginning of the 20th century. It was used to decorate prestigious areas of large cities, and then “migrated” to more modest neighborhoods. It is decorative lighting that gives houses, cottages, and mansions a bright, dynamic style, turning entire streets into abysses of light. Modern facade lighting is an integral part of architecture, so a lighting plan is created at the design stage of houses and commercial buildings.

Non-residential premises are illuminated to fit well into the urban image, as well as to attract the attention of visitors. Due to its decorative function, bright illumination is especially popular when decorating banks, shopping centers, entertainment complexes, shops, cafes and restaurants. Facade lighting gives such objects great marketing advantages and therefore increases their market value.

The use of illumination in private and country houses, country houses is one of the areas of lighting design that provides high decorative qualities to buildings. Even the most ordinary house can be turned into a unique work of art, highlighting columns, niches, and other forms. But facade lighting also has a functional role, it:

• improves the visualization of paths and doors in the dark;
• increases the safety of courtyards, parking lots, and entrances to houses.

Architectural lighting emphasizes the status of a building, so the largest buildings in a city are usually brighter than smaller ones.

Lighting requirements

The lighting of buildings is installed not only based on the wishes of the customer. Before installing the equipment, specialists take into account the features of the structure - its style, geometry of the elements. It is also important to take into account the layout of the house, because the lighting should look good against the backdrop of the lighting of neighboring buildings. To create a contrast between the background and the facade of the house, street lighting of the yard should also be organized, and in a special way.

Equally important is the correct selection of lamps, spotlights, and other lighting devices, as well as the calculation of their quantity. Thus, buildings for entertainment and recreation are decorated brighter, and offices need less intrusive and flashy light. Historical buildings are illuminated in such a way as not to disturb the architects' plans. When purchasing lamps, take into account the following characteristics:

• power;
• Colorful temperature;
• shade.

The material of the facade also plays an important role when installing lighting on the outside of the building. Metal, glass surfaces and gloss reduce the brightness of lighting and can cause glare. Here you need to correctly position the light sources so that the illumination is at the proper level.

There are other requirements for façade lighting. The equipment must be installed so that it is accessible for repair and replacement of lamps. On city streets, façade lighting should not blind drivers passing in their cars.

Norms and rules for building lighting

Designing the lighting design of buildings differs from developing projects for other types of lighting. It will be necessary to carry out careful calculation work, after which it will be possible to carry out the main components and structures. Specialists accurately measure the slightest relief bends, all elements of the facade, select installation locations for lighting panels, as well as control systems and wiring areas.

There are certain standards for the selection and installation of lamps. Devices must be external (external) and have luminous intensity curves. The light dispersion angle is 10-60 degrees. Lamps are placed in such a way as to accurately implement the designer’s main idea and eliminate glare on residents from the opposite side of the street. The layout of the lamps will serve as the basis for their installation, so it is calculated with high accuracy.

Here are the basic rules that are followed when planning architectural lighting:

• the columns are illuminated by spotlights with narrow beams of dispersion;
• the cornices are illuminated with special linear lamps, creating a long luminous line;
• The interwindow partitions of the first floor are illuminated with floor lamps or other free-standing lamps;
• sculptures are highlighted using metal halide lamps with a color rendering index of more than 80;
• The average brightness of facades, depending on the significance of the structure, is 3-10 cd/sq. m.

To complete the project, special computer programs are used, which greatly facilitate the work of the architect. Once all documents are ready, they begin to be approved by regulatory authorities, and only then can installation begin.

Types of Architectural Lighting

There are many ways to organize lighting for houses and other buildings. Each has its own purpose, so the choice depends on the style and size of the object, its design features - configuration, texture. The material and color of the cladding are also taken into account; it is equally important to consider the characteristics of the buildings around.

Local lighting

To enhance the aesthetic properties of any part of the building, local illumination is used. With its help you can place accents on windows, balconies, and cornices. This method is widely used both on wooden houses and on buildings with porcelain tile or panel cladding. This type of lighting is considered the most economical, and it is also universal. The implementation of lighting design is achieved by using wall lamps of low brightness, which are mounted in the right places on the facade. Linear LED lamps are also used, which perfectly replace bulky fluorescent lamps.

Flood lighting

This type of lighting is the easiest to create. It is used to highlight cultural objects, monuments, churches, and any small free-standing buildings. Flood lighting involves installing spotlights on the ground or posts; they will provide directional light. For buildings where people live or work, it is better not to use pouring, as light will penetrate the windows and create discomfort.

Contour lighting

Organizing lighting along the contour of the walls is an original technique that began to be used recently. Now contour lighting is organized using LEDs in the form of strips, rulers, and also with the participation of flexible neons. A large number of luminous elements help highlight corners and other details of the facade.

Background fill

This type of lighting accentuates the outlines of the building's shapes, but at the same time hides the details. The idea is to create a luminous background (background), on which the silhouette of the structure will be black. The background fill looks especially impressive in relation to theaters and palaces. For its installation, special LED tubes are used.

Illuminated facades

This technique is suitable for illuminating houses with continuous glazing, as well as entertainment centers, shops, and some office buildings. Light sources are placed indoors and directed onto glass, creating a stationary or dynamic lighting design.

Dynamic lighting

For this type of lighting, color-dynamic systems are installed, as a result the facade will be illuminated in different colors. After a certain time, they change, as does the brightness of the backlight. For installation, spotlights, diodes, tapes, and point light sources are used.

Types of lamps used

Almost all types of existing lamps are used in architectural lighting. But they are subject to completely different requirements than those installed indoors. These are the requirements:

• ability to work in any climatic conditions;
• tightness of the case, absence of additional seams;
• 100% electrical safety, fire safety;
• resistance to mechanical stress;
• high degree of dust and moisture protection (from IP65);
• ease of maintenance;
• housing made of stainless steel, aluminum, sheet steel with anti-corrosion coating.

There are also requirements for the appearance of lamps. The main thing is that they are invisible to the eye, without unnecessary details, and the color matches the façade or is neutral. During the day, lighting devices should not spoil the appearance of the structure. Since devices operate for a long time, it is advisable to install those that consume a minimum of electricity.

The following light sources for facades are now produced:

• ground;
• linear;
• point;
• accent.

Lamps for such devices can be fluorescent or metal halide, but only LED ones are considered promising. Their advantages are maximum brightness and low power, as well as long service life. The diodes operate at temperatures of -40...+40 degrees, start quickly and easily, and do not blink. The range of color temperatures of diodes is huge (2700-6500 K), so the designer will be able to choose the tone, hue, and texture of the light. Special forms of diodes are rulers and cords. These are tapes with a round or rectangular cross-section, produced in different variations.

Some scientists note the risk of “light pollution”, which affects people's health and prevents them from contemplating clear night skies in cities. The problem can be solved by special technologies that reduce the intensity of this type of pollution and minimize energy costs. It is impossible to completely do without the lighting design of buildings - it has decorative and practical functions, therefore it is used everywhere.
