What Are Up Down Lighting Wall Lights and How Do They Work?

Exterior up and down lights are generally fixed to a wall and will shine a light in two directions. The beam pointing upwards will be used to illuminate wall or eaves, whilst the downward pointing light will shine a light on walkways or the ground. The dual beam light creates a beautiful layering effect that has been a mainstay of garden and home landscape design.
