A more refined piece is justified on a very visible point, an entrance, a facade wall, a staged tree, where the finish and the quality of the beam show every evening. Between the two, the real question remains the exposure of the panel: a simple model well placed lights better than a high-end model in the shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"coherence-interieur\"\u003eHow do you match patio lighting with the rest of the house?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA patio is seen in the evening from the interior rooms: outdoor light that is too white or too strong crushes the living room.
