Luminaires for open area and pathway lighting

Light

Luminaires for open area and pathway lighting have a wide-beam characteristic. They are offered with an asymmetric light distribution.

Criteria for luminaires for open area and pathway lighting
- choice of lamp determines light colour, functional life, efficiency, light intensity
- uniformity: optimised reflector for even illumination of areas
- gradient:
soft edges to beam of light
- cut-off angle increases visual comfort and limits glare and light pollution
- light output ratio is increased by optimised reflector technology

Luminaires for pathway lighting

Pathway lighting luminaires with asymmetric light distribution provide uniform illumination on pathways. The light is spread in its width so that pathways can be evenly illuminated. Their small shape makes these luminaires suitable for lighting steps.

Luminaires for open area lighting

Light for illuminating open spaces is generated by an asymmetric reflector-flood system. A sculpture lens acting as safety glass directs the light deep into the outdoor area.

Facade washlights

Floor washlights with asymmetric light distribution provide an even illumination of buildings.

Applications

Luminaires for open area and pathway lighting are mainly used for illuminating the following:
- facades
- entrance areas
- arcades
- passages
- floor lighting on access driveways, paths and public squares
- orientation lighting on pathways, drives, entrances and steps
- park and garden complexes

As recessed luminaires, these are inconspicuous architectural details.
Free-standing luminaires act as features in the room. Their arrangement should correspond to the surroundings.
