City villa roof overhang with lighting

It would be interesting to know whether you have a single-story or two-story house and what you want to achieve with the lights: show or lighting of paths or something similar. Perhaps you should first question yourselves whether you can live with the light under the roof inside the house without a blind shading the mostly disturbing light through the window (bedroom?). Secondly, try sleeping with light yourselves, just to become sensitive to the topic, how it affects us humans and then also project it onto animals.

On another page, I have also read that lights with 3000 Kelvin do not attract insects. Does anyone here perhaps have experience with that?

However, we built 10 years ago, and back then it was not yet discussed. We have facade lights, partly up-down. We now often leave them off and only turn on the front on special occasions. I think the idea that it does not bother animals is a myth, because after the season there are dozens of dead insects hanging on every lamp. Meanwhile, it has also become quite sparse with light in our area in the dark. A bungalow, diagonally opposite us, has its very bright spots in considerable numbers all around (the resident is an electrician) and shines very unpleasantly for the neighbors all around. That is very noticeable. I think it is good that such considerations are taken into account when building a house, and you are doing just that.

I see it here with us more often and think it looks really great when you have such spots in a city villa.

Then you have to do the exterior plaster yourself, so at least you only have to be annoyed with yourself and can console yourself with having saved a few thousand... or take a really, really long time (and have a knack for it)... If I were allowed, I would gladly show you negative examples... but you don’t just take photos of other people’s houses without permission...

Such spots are really nice to look at, but no matter what purpose they are supposed to serve, you are not doing yourselves any favors. If you don't feel like climbing up the facade twice a year to remove cobwebs and everything caught in them, then better leave it. Light pollution is the smallest negative aspect of the story. After various advice against it, we switched to up/down facade lighting. As already mentioned, the plasterer has to work extremely precisely regardless of whether it is for this type of lighting or the spots under the roof overhang. That also costs extra. The spots are only suitable as outdoor lighting for driveways/paths/terraces if they are correspondingly strong, and then it really is no longer pleasant. If they are just for ambiance and therefore shine continuously, as already mentioned, the insect hotel will move in with you pretty quickly. If one spot goes out, you have to replace the entire row because of the otherwise visible color difference between the new and existing spots.

Money probably shouldn't be the concern of anyone who thinks about something like this anyway. But really, save yourselves the trouble.

Does anyone here perhaps have experience? Thank you

If you are planning a city villa according to my understanding, that is with 2 full floors, then I would definitely avoid it. We built with 2 full floors, 70 cm roof overhang, and did not install any spotlights, for all the reasons mentioned above by the previous posters.

In my experience, insects that are attracted to light at all don't really care what color the light is.

And yes, show-off "Look how rich I am" developers are not liked by anyone in my experience either. But maybe that's exactly what you want.
Then pay attention to the previous speakers' advice on the evenness of the plaster. The facade lighting often goes wrong when you can see all the bumps and dents especially well. Then envy-filled admiration, which you are actually after, quickly turns into laughter and ridicule.
So it's best to commission a raking light suitability upgrade right away. But please post here what the additional cost was.
