The design team for the Riversdale project had a clear vision. They needed custom-made outdoor bollards to fit the clean, minimalist look of the outdoor space. The luminaires had to provide safe lighting along paths and landscaped walkways. And it had to look contemporary, modern and low glare.
The real challenge was manufacturing good design with strict functional requirements. The bollards had to be durable and meet access lighting standards for public and disabled pedestrian use. Off-the-shelf solutions didn’t fit the style envisioned by the client.
This meant the entire luminaire, from housing to optics, had to be developed from scratch. The solution had to be efficient, elegant, and ready to install with minimal disruption to the project timeline.
- Outdoor bollard use: bollards are used for wayfinding, safety and to reduce trip hazards in low-light areas.
- Public lighting and safety: outdoor lighting reduces night-time trip and fall risks by over 50% in pedestrian zones.
