Facade lights

Façade lighting with impact: function meets design

You come home, it's dark and the house façade remains invisible? Then you need high-quality façade lights. Exterior walls are more than just protection - they are your home's calling card. With well thought-out façade lighting, you can set accents, ensure safety and create an inviting ambience.

Façade luminaires offer far more than just light. They design. They protect. And they bring buildings to life. This is precisely why it is worth investing in the right outdoor luminaires.

Why are façade luminaires indispensable?

The effect begins before you reach the front door. The right lighting emphasises structures, highlights architectural details and gives the façade depth.

Advantages at a glance:

• Improvesafety around the house
• Facilitateorientation in the dark
• Burglary prevention through motion detection
• Set stylish accents
• Visually enhance exterior walls

Whether classic, modern or minimalist - façade lights adapt to your style and show who you are. Outdoor lighting is not a technical accessory, but a design element.

Security starts at the wall

A dark entrance area not only looks unwelcoming, but also unsafe. Motion detectors or twilight sensors ensure that the light switches on automatically when someone approaches. This creates confidence and protects against falls.

Façade lights illuminate paths, driveways or house corners. This deters potential intruders and provides a reassuring feeling - without any great effort.

Typical security functions:

• Motion detector with adjustable detection angle
• Twilight sensor for automatic switch-on
• Uniform illumination without harsh light

It's not just about technology - it's about your sense of security in everyday life.

Design meets function - what types of façade lights are there?

Every façade is different. That's why there are numerous designs to suit your requirements.

Wall lights - the classics

They are among the most common luminaires on façades. Mounted directly on the wall, they cast light upwards, downwards or both. Ideal for emphasising structures or illuminating surfaces evenly.

Typical areas of application:

• Entrances
• Garage walls
• Garden walls

Designs from modern to rustic - everyone will find the right model here.

Spotlights - setting specific accents

Spotlights bring targeted light to specific areas. They can be rotated and swivelled and illuminate where it is really needed. Particularly suitable for modern architecture or for highlighting individual details such as façade elements, plants or works of art.

Special advantages:

• Can be flexibly aligned
• Ideal for object lighting
• Can be combined with smart home systems

Up & downlights - stylish lighting effect

These luminaires direct their light upwards and downwards. This creates a decorative play of light on the façade. They create an exciting contrast and provide structure, especially on smooth surfaces.

Strengths:

• Decorative effect
• Elegant appearance
• Can be combined in series for a strong effect

Materials and protection classes - outdoor must withstand outdoor

Façade luminaires are permanently exposed to the elements: rain, wind, UV radiation or frost. To enjoy them for a long time, robust materials and the right type of protection are essential.

Suitable materials:

• Stainless steel: modern, rust-free, durable
• Aluminium: lightweight, weatherproof
• Plastic: UV-resistant, unbreakable, easy to clean

Recommended protection classes:

IP44: protected against splashing water - ideal for roofed facades

IP65: dust-tight and protected against water jets - for unprotected outdoor areas

Tip: Always pay attention to the protection class when buying - it determines the service life.

LED technology - efficient and durable

Façade luminaires with modern LED technology require hardly any maintenance and provide a pleasant light image. The light colour can be selected to suit your mood - warm white for cosiness or neutral white for clear illumination.

Advantages of LED façade lights:

• Long service life (up to 50,000 hours)
• Full brightness immediately
• No bulb replacement necessary
• No warm-up time

LED means creative freedom.

Targeted use of light colours - control effect and atmosphere

Not every light colour suits every environment. Warm white light (approx. 2,700-3,000 Kelvin) has a cosy and inviting effect. It is particularly suitable for entrance areas or façades in residential environments.

Neutral white light (approx. 4,000 Kelvin) is more functional and illuminates areas clearly and functionally - ideal for garages, side entrances or commercial buildings.

If you want to set specific accents, you can opt for cool whitelight (from approx. 5,000 Kelvin) . It looks modern, but also technical. The choice of light colour not only influences the appearance of the façade, but also the effect on visitors and residents. With adjustable LEDs, light colours can be flexibly adapted - depending on the time of day, season or mood.

How do I plan my façade lighting correctly?

Many people underestimate the planning of outdoor lighting. Yet it determines the effect and function.

Important considerations:

• Which areas should be illuminated?
• Do you want uniform illumination or targeted accents?
• Which luminaire shape suits the style of the house?
• Are there power connections on the façade?
• Should sensors or smart home elements be integrated?

A coherent overall concept looks more harmonious than many individual luminaires without a reference. Think about light colours, spacing and viewing directions - or get advice from experts.

Façade lights for every style

Whether a classic detached house, modern townhouse or Mediterranean villa - there are suitable outdoor lights for every façade:

• Modern: clear lines, cool light, minimalist shapes
• Classic: warm light colour, curved designs
• Country house style: playful details, rustic surfaces
• Minimalist: flat luminaires, monochrome colours, focus on lighting effect

Light is a design element - use it consciously to give your home character.

Solar-powered façade lights - independent, efficient, environmentally friendly

Do you want to illuminate your façade but don't want to install a power connection? Solar-powered façade lights are the perfect solution. These lights are charged by integrated solar panels during the day and provide reliable light in the dark - without any ongoing electricity costs.

Installation is simple and flexible as no cabling is required. Particularly practical for rental properties, garden sheds or hard-to-reach façade areas. Modern models combine solar technology with motion sensors so that the light is only activated when it is really needed. Ideal for anyone who wants to combine sustainable technology with easy handling.

Façade lights with added value: smart functions

More and more models can be connected to smart home systems. Control lighting times, dimming or colour temperature conveniently via app or voice control.

Examples of smart features:

• Time control for automatic light phases
• Integration into security systems
• Control via motion detector + app
• Connection to Alexa, Google Home, etc.

How to combine convenience with technology - for an intelligent home, even outdoors.

Façade lighting brings more than just brightness. It creates security, emphasises the style of your home and transforms any façade into a real highlight. With the right planning and suitable lights, you can set effective accents - whether classic, modern or minimalist.

LED technology, smart functions or solar-powered versions open up new possibilities for efficient light with character. Let your exterior wall do the talking - for you, your guests and your safety.

Frequently asked questions

Which façade lights are particularly durable?

Models made of stainless steel or aluminium with LED technology and a high protection rating (at least IP44) last a particularly long time. Pay attention to the quality of materials and workmanship.

Are all façade lights suitable for outdoor use?

No. The protection class is important. For unprotected façades, at least IP44, preferably IP65, is required.

Which is better: motion detectors or continuous light?

Motion detectors save energy and increase safety. Permanent light has an inviting effect, but requires more power. A combination of both often makes sense.

How bright should façade luminaires be?

That depends on the location. For accent lighting, 200-400 lumens is sufficient. For entrance areas or pathways, 600-1,000 lumens is better.

Can I also retrofit façade luminaires?

Yes, there are models with solar operation or batteries that work without a power connection. Ideal for rental properties or places that are difficult to access.
