It warms pale stone, wood and render, where a very cool white hardens the materials. It is also the shade that connects most simply to indoor lighting, visible from the French window.

A floodlight opens the beam over a wider surface. Around a pool, the wide beam suits the coping, the deck and the walls, while the spot isolates a detail: a trunk, a basin, a sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich to choose for a pool deck?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deck is walked barefoot: look for a wide, grazing light that illuminates the area without a hot spot in the eye.
