In lighting design, backlighting is the process of illuminating the subject from the back. In other words, the lighting instrument and the viewer face each other, with the subject in between. This creates a glowing effect on the edges of the subject, [1] while other areas are darker. The backlight can be a natural or artificial source of light.
Likely, a water wall thinner than 6 inches is also not enough to act as a proper thermal mass that stores the heat during the day. In the early Trombe wall design, there are vents on the walls to distribute the heat by natural convection (thermocirculation) from the exterior face of the wall, but only during the daytime and early evening.

Most exterior veneer systems hang stone from a support wall by pins and anchors allowing air space between, essentially using stone as a rain screen. Anchorage systems are superior for exterior use because they permit any water that permeates the veneer to escape, while air space allows the materials of the supporting substrate wall to expand ...
A typical four-point lighting setup. A background light is used to illuminate the background area of a set.The background light will also provide separation between the subject and the background. [1]
Tests also have shown that this countertop surface is the most resistant to discoloration from foods and household products among common household surfaces, the second most stain resistant being granite. [3] Countertops are custom made and more scratch resistant as well as less porous than natural quartz surfaces, and don't need to be sealed ...
It is a form of backlighting. Soffit or close to wall lighting can be general or a decorative wall-wash, sometimes used to bring out texture (like stucco or plaster) on a wall, though this may also show its defects as well. The effect depends heavily on the exact type of lighting source used.
A backlight is a form of illumination used in liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) that provides illumination from the back or side of a display panel.
An LED-backlit LCD is a liquid-crystal display that uses LEDs for backlighting instead of traditional cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) backlighting. [1] LED-backlit displays use the same TFT LCD ( thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display ) technologies as CCFL-backlit LCDs, but offer a variety of advantages over them.
