Linear Wall Washers for Facade, Landscape and Interior Lighting

A linear wall washer sits at the base or top of a surface and aims light along it, so the whole plane reads as evenly lit instead of spotted. Exterior models use sealed aluminum housings rated IP66 or IP67, with clear glass or lensed optics for facades, retaining walls and landscape features. Compact 24V interior models suit lobbies, retail feature walls, corridors and residential accent walls. Fixture lengths run from about 6.6 inches to over 7 feet on some models, so runs can be sized to the surface.

Narrow vs Wide Beam Angles for Linear Wall Wash Lighting

Beam angle decides how far the light travels up the surface and how much spills to the sides. Narrow optics around 10° to 15° push light up tall facades and columns from a fixture mounted close to the base. Medium beams around 25° to 32° balance reach and spread on mid-height walls. Wide and elliptical optics, such as 45° or 50° x 11°, cover shorter, wider surfaces. Louvered lenses cut glare where the fixture sits near eye level. High-output exterior models exceed 3,000 lumens per meter for large facades.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should a linear wall washer be placed?

Place it at the base of the surface aiming up, or at the top aiming down, so the beam travels along the wall instead of straight at it. Exterior washers are often bracket-mounted at the foot of a facade. Interior models typically sit at the ceiling line or in a cove above the wall.

How far should an LED linear wall washer be from the wall?

Setback depends on wall height, beam angle and the effect you want. A fixture mounted tight to the wall with a narrow beam grazes the surface and exaggerates texture on stone or brick. Moving it back and using a wider beam gives a smoother wash on flat walls. Check the photometric data on the fixture's cut sheet against your wall height before you set the distance.

What is the best beam angle for wall washing?

No single angle suits every wall. Narrow beams around 10° to 15° reach higher on tall facades. Medium beams around 25° to 32° balance reach and spread. Wide or elliptical beams such as 45° and 50° x 11° cover shorter, wider walls. Match the beam to the wall height and the fixture's setback.

Which direction should an LED linear wall washer face?

Aim it along the surface you want to light. An uplight at the base faces up the wall, and a downlight at the top faces down it. Adjustable brackets on exterior models let you tilt the fixture to fine-tune where the beam lands.
