Concealed lighting in eaves: Light is visible, fixtures are not

Close-up of a nighttime building, with continuous linear luminaires hidden in the recessed undersides of deep eaves and horizontal string courses on each floor. From a human perspective, no light fixtures or emitting surfaces are visible; only light spilling out from the recesses, uniformly washing the wall surface below, and leaving a soft gradient on the upper edge of the recess. Each light band is of equal width and brightness, forming a regular horizontal rhythm on the facade. The wall surface is finely troweled cement plaster, showing uniform fine textures under grazing light. When looking up, only the dark shadows of the recesses are visible, not the light source. Color temperature is warm white, approximately 3000K. Avoid: exposing the luminaires, showing dotted light beads, adding external floodlights, uneven brightness in the light bands.

夜間建築的近景,深挑的屋簷與各層水平線腳的下方內凹處,藏著連續的線性燈具。從人的視角完全看不到任何燈體與發光面,只看見光從凹槽中溢出,均勻地洗在下方的牆面上,並在凹槽的上緣留下一道柔和的漸層。每一層的光帶等寬、等亮,在立面上形成規律的水平節奏。牆面是細緻的水泥粉光,在掠射光下顯出均勻的細紋。抬頭往上看時,只有黑色的凹槽陰影,看不見光源。色溫暖白,約 3000K。避免:讓燈具外露、出現點狀燈珠、加入外掛式投光燈、讓光帶亮度不均。
