In cooperation with AART designers we have developed SKY, a new park luminaire in a contemporary design. Light and airy, the form of SKY with the arched roof top, reaching for the sky, has led to the name SKY. Light is reflected and comes from above – from the sky.

The light source, LED, is placed at the bottom of the luminaire, and the indirect light, reflected and directed by the arched roof, is soft and pleasant. We use Bridgelux LED offering long service life and high operational safety without compromising on light quality. Flexibility is high, and we can supply Bridgelux in various colour temperatures with colour rendering indeces up to 90 Ra. Photometric data here.

SKY is made of cast aluminium with graphite or silver grey coating. The screen is cast in long-life polycarbonate with acrylic glass on both sides, making it extremely resistant to UV radiance. SKY comes in IP 66 and is impact testet to IK 10, i.e. the highest possible rating. More details here.

SKY fits 90 and 60 mm columns, thus offering the possibility of using both a galvanised standard column and a coated design column. The cylindrical connection piece used with Ø90 mm columns offers the possibility of simple, yet eye-catching customisation; for example in the form of logo or city arms - or simply the colour characterising a company or an area.

Maybe you already know SKY from the Light+Building show in Frankfurt this year. The visitors showed great interest in the new luminaire due to the minimalist design and the pleasant light. SKY can still be seen at an "exhibition", namely the DOLL Living Lab at Copenhagen suburb Albertslund (more below). We present our Street/Urban programme comprising Nyx, Sky, and Becco in this test lab.

Focus Lighting is part of Europe's largest outdoor lighting test facility, DOLL LIving Lab, where we present FOCUS STREET / URBAN LIGHTING.

FOCUS STREET / URBAN LIGHTING comprises Nyx, Becco, and Sky, and with the Nyx luminaires we can demonstrate intelligent lighting systems.

Our succes in street lighting is highly due to the Nyx series, designed by Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects in 2005. Since then it has been developed to meet public demands for efficient and energy-saving urban lighting, assuring vehicular and pedestrian safety and comfort.

Becco is born with LED and many functional components are integrated in the luminaire design. The heat sink forms a characteristic connection between the column and the lantern and it is the base of the LED module as well. We use Bridgelux LED due to high quality of this American product, offering long service life and high operational safety without compromising on light quality. Furthermore the flexibility is high, and we can supply Bridgelux in a variety of colour temperatures with colour rendering indeces up to 90 Ra.

As mentioned, Sky will be part of the Living Lab at Albertslund, and we expect that it will be ready at the test facility in the course of November.
