Architectural lighting

Architectural lighting has become increasingly popular as a method of accenting a structure and/or its surrounding landscape. Architectural lighting systems are used to illuminate and decorate architectural structures with lighting displays. Architectural lighting systems direct light into a tree from below, known as uplighting, or direct light downward from the tops of trees and eves, known as downlighting, and for other purposes. Numerous lighting displays have been developed for purposes of buildings and other like structural decoration, which provide a neater, more attractive appearance. Incandescent and halogen type lamps have been used in various conventional lighting devices for the projection of light onto a surface for illumination and for general illumination purposes. Such lamps depend on the heating of a tungsten wire filament to a high temperature and therefore emit light. Illuminating light sources such as metal halide arc lamps, gas discharge lamps, fluorescent lamps and halogen light bulbs, have been widely used in various lighting devices for the projection of light onto a surface for illumination. Such light sources are used in architectural, theatrical and stage lighting systems as well as in industrial applications for lighting surfaces, scenery, or an object. Architectural lighting systems include structure affording protection of the lighting elements from the weather to permit permanent installation if so desired. Generally such lighting systems provide a protective housing within which is disposed a row of lighting elements. Lighting projectors are typically equipped with one or more control devices for controlling intensity or focusing or dimensioning the beam, changing its color, or changing the beam's direction. Multiple parameter (automated) projectors include controls for all of these parameters and more.
