The FALKO architectural LED flood light represents a true icon in contemporary architectural lighting, merging elegance, precision, and innovation into a single sculptural form. Created through a remarkable collaboration between AEC Illuminazione and designer Davide Oppizzi, FALKO embodies the perfect synergy of Italian craftsmanship and technological sophistication. This flood light redefines the concept of architectural lighting by transforming outdoor spaces into expressive visual compositions where light becomes an artistic and emotional medium. Its minimalist silhouette and refined detailing make it suitable for a wide range of architectural contexts, from urban plazas and public buildings to landscaped environments and cultural landmarks.
At the heart of FALKO’s appeal lies its balance between form and performance. AEC’s deep technical expertise and Oppizzi’s aesthetic vision converge in a luminaire capable of enhancing architectural features with precision and elegance. Every component reflects a design philosophy that values light as a medium for storytelling, enabling architects and lighting designers to sculpt atmospheres with emotional resonance and visual clarity. FALKO’s optical precision allows for meticulous light control across various applications, ensuring consistent quality and harmony in both small-scale architectural accents and expansive outdoor spaces.
FALKO offers extensive creative flexibility through a diverse range of finishes and colors, organized into three distinct palettes inspired by natural elements: ESSENTIAL, EARTH, and LEAF. This selection enables seamless integration into any architectural or landscape setting, supporting both discreet installations and bold visual statements. Its RGBW technology expands these possibilities even further, introducing an infinite spectrum of dynamic color options for projects that demand expressive lighting scenes and immersive environments. The fixture’s modular design extends to its installation system, with a series of poles and mounting accessories that allow complete compositional freedom—ideal for bespoke architectural, urban, and landscape lighting schemes.
Technically, FALKO integrates a robust optical system and an array of interchangeable optics that allow for precise control over beam shapes and distributions. Options range from narrow and medium beams to wide and elliptical configurations, each calibrated to achieve uniform light quality and visual comfort. With color temperatures available from 2200K to 4000K and a color rendering index (CRI) of ≥80, the fixture ensures faithful color representation in any environment. Built for long-term reliability, the luminaire achieves an efficiency of 185 lm/W at 4000K and a photobiological safety classification of Exempt Group, confirming its visual comfort and safety standards.
Constructed from die-cast aluminum and powder-coated steel, FALKO combines durability with elegance. Its structure is protected by tempered glass and sealed to achieve IP66/IP67 and IK09 ratings, ensuring resistance against dust, moisture, and impact. The flood light operates flawlessly across extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +50°C, with a rated voltage of 220–240V at 50/60Hz and a power factor above 0.9. For additional safety, it incorporates optional surge protection up to 12kV and a type 2+3 SPD unit with LED indication and automatic load disconnection at end of life.
FALKO’s versatility extends to its installation options. It can be mounted on poles of various diameters or fixed to walls, ceilings, or ground surfaces using adjustable brackets that enable 360° rotation and ±90° tilt adjustment. Both LED modules and gear trays are removable and replaceable, ensuring ease of maintenance and long-term serviceability. The flood light also supports a full range of control systems—including DALI digital dimming, constant light flux, automatic dimming profiles, and customized configurations—making it compatible with intelligent lighting networks and adaptive control strategies.
Built for enduring performance, the optical unit delivers a rated lifetime exceeding 100,000 hours (L90B10, TM-21), confirming its long-term reliability in demanding outdoor applications. Every detail, from its precision-machined PMMA optics and silicone gaskets to its stainless-steel hardware and metallic IP68 cable gland, reflects the engineering discipline and craftsmanship synonymous with AEC.
In essence, the FALKO architectural LED flood light stands as a refined synthesis of artistry and technology. It celebrates light as a defining element of modern architecture—capable of enriching public and private spaces with expressive form, sustainable design integrity, and exceptional visual quality.
