Spotlights & Uplighting
Architecture you can't see at night isn't doing its job.
Uplighting is what separates the house with lights from the house that looks designed. Done right, it reveals texture in stone, dimension in columns, and shadow in a roofline. Done wrong, it's a row of hot spots and dark gaps. Beam angle, lumen output, and placement decide which one you get.
How we approach it
- 01 Match the beam to the surface. Tight 15° beams for tall columns and trees. Wide 60° washes for textured stone facades. We carry both.
- 02 Shield the source. A glare-shielded spotlight is invisible from the street; only the lit surface shows. That's the look.
- 03 Tune the color temperature. 2700K for warm brick, 3000K for limestone, 2400K for that old-bulb candlelight feel.
- 04 Adjustable for the long term. Trees grow. Roofs get re-shingled. Our fixtures are positionable so the system can be re-tuned without re-trenching.
Best applications
Brick and stone facades, columns, gables, dormers, chimneys, statuary, and architectural features that deserve to be seen at night.
Why beam angle matters
A 60° fixture on a narrow column lights the column and the wall behind it — a mess. A 15° fixture on a wide stone wall creates a hot spot and dark sides — also a mess. We measure first.
Glare control
Hooded shrouds, honeycomb louvers, and proper aim. The fixture should disappear; only the light should show.
