LED Uplighting - How the effect changes throughout the day

LED Lighting Through The Day

I'm often asked to describe the effect of LED Lights, and it is really difficult, so I have taken a series of photos throughout the day (taken at beautiful Alnwick Garden) to show how the effect changes in different light. The photos still don't really do justice to the effect itself! If you are having the lighting on for the duration of the day, in effect you get several different effects for your money, as the ambient light changes

During daytime the effect is very subtle, adding discreet accents. Bear in mind this is an all glass wall in bright daylight, therefore the effect is a little less visible than it would be indoors.

During the afternoon, or on a duller day, still subtle but with definite tones to the room, defining shapes and textures. This would probably be the effect in a bright, indoors room during the day.

As early evening arrives, the stronger colours start to come through, with the hints of a colour wash adding depth, more of the interior fixtures becoming lit. This is also what an interior room would look like during the day in low light.

As dusk approaches, the room takes on a deeper, sophisticated colour with the wash penetrating towards the ceiling, adding a touch of luxury, and altering the atmosphere in the room accordingly. Notice how now the colours are just touching the ceiling, adding subtle tones to the room.

It's now dark, and wow! The room takes on yet another personality as the deep, rich colours bathe the walls in your chosen shades. As you can see from the photo, the light now washes the upper walls and roof in colour, adding dimension, depth and rich colour to the venue - even with a high, glass roof like this!.

And what did the clients say?
