Wall-washing fixtures mounted near the ceiling direct light onto walls rather than the floor. This brightens vertical surfaces, makes corridors feel wider, and improves facial recognition - key for security and social interaction.
Easy
Budget
Approach Detail
Asymmetric linear or individual wall-wash fixtures positioned 300-600mm from wall. 100+ lux on wall surfaces. Uniform wash from top to floor level. Light both walls if corridor is narrow. Consider artwork integration where walls are lit.
Key Fixtures
Asymmetric wall-wash linear (XAL Move It, ERCO Jilly), recessed wall-wash downlights, cove lighting at ceiling/wall junction
Designer Notes
Render showing the glowing walls with the corridor feeling wider than it is. Faces visible, space feels open. Compare with standard downlighting showing the tunnel effect.
