We are stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment about which way to go for our facade lighting. LED downlights in the eaves or up/down lights on the front wall/s.
Anyone have any opinions or personal experiences with how each look and perform? Are there any pros and cons or is it just aesthetics only?
Drawing of our facade below - we were thinking 4 lights across the front (1 each end and 1 in front of the front columns).

Primarily aesthetics But secondary reasons being for practicality and I guess security but that hasn't been a motivator at all. Re: Facade Lighting - up/down lights vs downlights 7Feb 25, 2021 7:30 am i like out of sight out of mind so i went with downlights in the eaves across the facade and also in the front porch on a seperate light switch Sometimes you just need to roll the dice....

We did up/down lights on the posts, a downlight at the front door and a spotlight (same design as the up/down light) over the driveway. We love the effect we get. They are on 3 separate switches.
