Entry DescriptionWe have developed compact tripod luminaires for landscape lighting. It is made entirely of marine-grade stainless steel so that it is not corroded by sea salt, which, for example, the Chinese version cannot survive.
It has a custom filter that creates caustic or shadow effects on the paths, which will perfectly complement the landscaping of private homes, hotels and resort centres.
Specially designed diodes with an extremely concentrated luminous flux density per millimetre square of surface, requiring special cooling. The systems we work with are used for super-powerful top-of-the-line graphics cards and computer processors with increased frequency, which require fast, clear heat dissipation.
Three types of compound are poured in three stages and are designed for such extreme heat, have increased elasticity, seal the lens and protect the lamp from overheating.
An additional lens covers the diode and blurs its edge so that the light spot does not have sharp edges, and the caustic effect disappears smoothly.
An additional professional version of the luminaire will allow each luminaire to be dimmed as a separate pixel and, thanks to a movable hinge, raised according to the height of the plants.
Sustainability ApproachTo avoid harming the natural biorhythms of the jungle and the people in the eco-village, we set up a complex logic for the luminaire's dimming. Based on a sophisticated automation system, the columns are professionally dimmed along the paths where people walk, and the light does not interfere with insects.
