uplighting
Ground-mounted light aiming
Uplighting is a lighting technique where fixtures are positioned to cast light upward, typically from floor level onto walls, architectural features, or trees.
The effect creates dramatic shadows and highlights structural elements from below.
Common in event design, landscape lighting, and theatrical settings: Blue uplighting transformed the ballroom.
As an adjective, it describes fixtures designed for this purpose: uplighting spots along the facade.
