Wall washing and indirect lighting: letting the background illuminate itself

A wall illuminated by indirect light. A continuous linear light is hidden at the junction of the ceiling and the wall, uniformly washing the entire wall downwards, with a very gradual change in brightness from top to bottom; no light fixtures or light sources are visible. This light makes the wall a luminous background, making artworks appear to float on it. The floor and furniture are relatively darker. Avoid: visible light strips and fixtures, uneven light with bright spots appearing in segments, using cool white light, making the floor and ceiling brighter than the wall.

一道被間接光照亮的牆。天花與牆交接處藏著一道連續的線性燈,光往下均勻地洗過整面牆,從上到下有非常緩的明度漸變;看不到任何燈具與光源本體。這種光讓牆成為一個發光的背景,作品在上面像浮起來。地面與家具相對暗。避免:看得到燈條與燈具本體、光線不均出現一段一段的亮斑、使用冷白光、讓地面與天花比牆還亮。
