Quick Answers (for Featured Snippets)
What is holiday wall wash lighting?
Holiday wall wash lighting uses an LED wall washer to create a clean, even backdrop for storefronts and courtyards. With 16-bit dimming and a 1–30 Hz strobe, you get warm everyday looks plus short, controlled bursts for countdowns.
How many wall washer lights for a 12 m storefront?
Use 3–4 LED wall washers at 3–5 m spacing for premium wall wash lighting. Tighten spacing for brighter uniformity or clearer pixel chases on the façade.
Halloween: Eerie Slow Strobe + Low Fog
- Strobe: 3–6 Hz for a slow, eerie pulse.
- Pixel wave: up/down “breathing” to make the wall feel alive.
- Dimming: 20–45% to preserve sign detail without glare.
Add low fog to enhance in-air texture. Keep fixtures slightly closer to the surface for stronger wall washing lights definition.
Thanksgiving & Christmas: Warm Wash + Slow, Single-Direction Chase
- Dimming: 25–55% for a cozy base.
- Chase: slow, single-direction pixel pursuit to convey calm order.
- Spacing: 3–5 m between units across fascias or window banks.
Align the chase toward your entrance to guide the eye—classic architectural wall wash lighting.
New Year’s Eve: Make It Hit—Then Stop
- Strobe: 16–22 Hz only in the final 10 seconds of the countdown.
- Wave speed: ramp slow → fast into midnight.
- Comfort & safety: keep high-rate flashes short and clearly timed.
Program an immediate return to a softer LED wall wash lighting base for photos right after midnight.
Quick Setup & Outdoor Protection
- IP65 + metal housing for long-term outdoor use.
- Power/DMX in/out for tidy daisy-chains—always add drip loops.
- Working temperature: −30 °C to 50 °C (cold snaps to heat waves).
- Control: Auto/Sound to start; escalate to DMX wall washer control (4/11/140-CH) with RDM for fast addressing.
Sizing, Spacing & Power
- Storefront / window displays: start at 3–5 m spacing. A 12 m façade typically uses 3–4 units.
- Garden / courtyard walls (15–20 m): 4–6 units evenly spaced for smooth LED wall wash lighting.
-
Circuit planning (experience values):
- 220–240 V: ~1.8–2.0 A per unit → keep a 16 A circuit ≤ 7–8 units with headroom.
- 100–120 V: ~3.5–4.2 A per unit → a 15 A circuit ≤ 3–4 units.
