The Plurio post-top lantern is a refined outdoor lighting solution that combines aesthetic versatility, advanced optical performance, and environmental responsibility. Designed with IDA Dark Sky compliance, Plurio ensures zero upward light emission (ULOR 0), minimizing light pollution while maintaining excellent illumination for urban and residential areas. When fitted with enclosures of 3000K or lower, the luminaire achieves full IDA Dark Sky Approved certification, ensuring projects meet strict environmental standards without sacrificing visual comfort or performance.
A hallmark of the Plurio range is its versatility in design. With four canopy styles—original, round, flat, and disc—the luminaire provides designers with the freedom to integrate lighting seamlessly into any architectural or urban setting. By day, its elegant form enhances the character of streetscapes, parks, and plazas; by night, its balanced and glare-controlled illumination creates a welcoming, secure environment. This aesthetic adaptability allows Plurio to contribute to a distinctive identity for outdoor spaces while maintaining a consistent design language across different applications.
At the heart of Plurio is ground-breaking optical technology capable of delivering both direct and indirect lighting. A clear UV-stabilized polycarbonate diffuser with anti-glare prisms ensures visual comfort, while highly reflective ABS and anodized aluminum components optimize light distribution. With a broad choice of optics and light distributions, Plurio provides precise illumination for pathways, squares, and pedestrian areas, ensuring efficiency and minimizing wasted light. The luminaire is available in multiple colour temperatures, including warm tones that respect nocturnal ecosystems and enhance ambiance.
Plurio is equipped with Thorn’s NightTune technology, an intelligent feature that dynamically adjusts colour temperature in harmony with light levels. By blending warm and cool LEDs, NightTune provides warm, uniform lighting during the quietest nighttime hours, preserving a sense of wellbeing while reducing ecological impact. As activity levels increase in the early morning or late evening, cooler LEDs gradually increase in output, ensuring safety and visibility without unnecessary energy consumption. This seamless adaptation creates comfortable, human-centric lighting that enhances public spaces while conserving resources.
Smart city readiness is integral to Plurio’s design. With options for Zhaga or NEMA interfaces, the luminaire can be integrated into advanced wireless networks for remote monitoring, control, and energy reporting. These connectivity features allow project owners to adjust schedules, manage lighting groups, monitor status, and troubleshoot systems without physical intervention. In addition, control options such as DALI2 dimming, Bi-Power, Bi-Power Switch, Constant Light Output (CLO), and Light Reduction Twin Phases (LRT) provide a wide range of flexible solutions to meet both energy and operational goals.
Constructed for durability, Plurio features a die-cast aluminum base and canopy, finished in texturized anthracite, black (RAL 9005), or light grey, with 48 additional RAL colours available via configurator. With a corrosion class rating of C5, the luminaire is engineered for long-term performance in harsh outdoor conditions. Stainless steel fixings, reflective internal components, and high-quality optical elements ensure reliability, while its lightweight design simplifies installation. Delivered pre-wired and complete with factory-fitted integral gear, Plurio reduces on-site labour, requiring only minimal tools for assembly. Access to LEDs and gear is easily achieved via three screws beneath the bowl, streamlining maintenance.
Installation options are equally versatile, with spigot diameters of 60 mm or 76 mm, suitable for mounting heights between 3 and 4 metres. A dedicated range of columns and brackets ensures compatibility with a variety of urban layouts, while multiple mast configurations and styles enable creative integration into city centres, residential zones, promenades, and green spaces.
Plurio is more than a post-top luminaire—it is an adaptable, future-proof solution that balances design, performance, and sustainability. By combining Dark Sky compliance, NightTune technology, smart connectivity, and robust construction, Plurio redefines the role of outdoor lighting in enhancing safety, protecting ecosystems, and creating attractive, comfortable public spaces.
