Light at Doors and Gates

Illuminating the Entrance. The entrance of a building serves as its business card. At night, door areas with good illumination appear particularly inviting, convey security and orientation as well as reflect the design consciousness of the property owners. Glare-free lighting and appropriate illumination of the functional areas highlighting the architectural transition zones play a role which is just as important as the position and orientation of the outdoor lights or the luminous intensity and colour of the light sources.
