A considered line of light can reveal the shape, depth and texture of your home after dark.
Exterior-wall lighting works best when it follows a clear architectural detail: a recess, a projecting edge or the meeting of two materials. Plan the effect from both close up and the street, with the strip positioned to complement the façade. A trial section can help you judge the result before committing to the full elevation.

A strip close to a textured wall will produce a different effect from one set farther away. Brick joints, render variations and stone relief can become more noticeable after dark, so test the chosen location against the actual finish. Consider the view through nearby windows and screen the light source where it would sit directly in an eyeline. Linear accent lighting should be assessed separately from the wider entrance or security-lighting scheme.
Measure each uninterrupted run and note door heads, corners, downpipes, joints and changes of material. Mark cable entry points before cladding or finishes are completed. Keep access to terminations and power equipment in the plan rather than concealing them behind permanent finishes. Confirm the strip’s bend direction and permitted lengths with the proposed layout; a sharp architectural corner may need separate sections and a planned cable link.
A qualified installer should assess the exposure at each position and coordinate fixings or penetrations with the building detail. Keep ventilation, drainage paths and access to façade components clear. Specify suitable protection for the strip, connections, controls and power supply as a complete system. Follow manufacturer limits, including the exclusion of submersion for SPLASH12, and plan a practical way to inspect and replace equipment at height.
Explore white-light and colour options, then have a qualified installer confirm the selected products and every connection for the actual location.

View sealed RGBW stripRGB and RGBW use different control arrangements. The colour product linked here is RGBW, with its own white channel; an ordinary indoor RGB strip is not an automatic substitute.
Swatches are illustrative, not product photographs or exact colour temperatures. Screens and surfaces change how light appears. Available tones and suitability vary by product. The strip’s rating does not establish the protection of the whole system.
These sealed strip options are starting points for an installer-assessed system. The strip rating alone does not establish location suitability or protect its connections, controls and power equipment.

View productThese are individual strips, not a complete outdoor lighting kit or a checked bill of materials. Confirm mounting, power, controls, cables, connections and exposure limits together. SPLASH12 must remain outside water and is not a walkover or driveover lighting system. Product imagery does not identify the products used in the concepts.
It can be used as a linear accent beside textured materials. Test the mounting distance and viewing angle first, because the same light can emphasise both attractive texture and uneven workmanship.
Potentially, provided the recess accommodates the approved mounting detail, end caps and cable entry. Your installer also needs to assess drainage, heat management, weather exposure and later access.
Measure straight sections separately and mark every obstruction on your drawing. Check the product’s bending limits rather than forcing it around a corner, and plan protected cable routes between sections where needed.
There is no single rating that makes every façade location suitable. Ask a qualified installer to assess the exposure and specify all components and connections in line with their manufacturer instructions.
