It seems to be able to serve as lighting for the terrace. That is already sensible. Facade floodlights are otherwise unnecessary. Light pollution and the bumpy facade are not something anyone wants to see in grazing light anyway.

Today I did a first light test in the dark. I think it looks very successful.

Hope your neighbors live far away. I would be annoyed having to constantly look at a brightly illuminated neighboring house, the new LED streetlights that are 15 times brighter than the old lamps on the main street are already enough for me... Planes will think our new development area is a runway....

I do find the lighting quite pretty, but yes, keyword light pollution is important. For insects, it is probably really bad as well. But "Save the bees" usually only applies to others, not to one's own rock garden or permanent lighting.

I have now considered the lighting in such a way that it is only briefly turned on when someone is doing something at the house in the evening - not that it is constantly on. Or is it connected to a motion detector? That would probably drive me crazy as a neighbor

Well, in case a neighbor is only bothered by it when she/he walks past it because it turns on, then one could ask what she/he is doing there. We will try to control some outdoor lighting automatically with cleverly placed sensors. Who should be bothered by that? Whether I do something or walk somewhere and turn it on myself, or whether it turns on automatically, what difference does that make? I don't go to the trash in the dark every 5 minutes. And on the terrace, am I supposed to sit there in the dark in the evening?

If you light up your house even though you are not outside and really don’t need the light, animals get disturbed by it, for example, regardless of the neighbor who could theoretically find it quite nice.
