The Kubus bollard luminaire is a masterclass in architectonic lighting, merging form and function in a discreet, sculptural profile that remains visually understated by day and transforms into a beacon of refined illumination by night. Designed for outdoor applications, Kubus delivers precise washlighting that enhances both safety and aesthetics along pathways, traffic routes, plazas, and terraces. It provides excellent visual comfort and dependable orientation for pedestrians, creating well-defined spaces with subtle light that doesn’t overwhelm the environment.
Kubus offers two carefully engineered light distribution options—wide-beam and deep-beam—each tailored to distinct outdoor scenarios. The wide-beam variant is ideal for marking walkways along building façades or walls, casting soft, forward-directed light that evenly illuminates the ground surface without glare. This ensures a safe and comfortable experience for passers-by, especially in low-light environments. Meanwhile, the deep-beam version is designed to throw light further out into open spaces, making it the optimal choice for lighting up squares, terraces, and other broader exterior areas that require greater reach and coverage. Together, these complementary distributions provide lighting designers with flexibility to tailor installations to specific spatial needs.
Kubus bollard luminaires deliver uniform, glare-free illumination with a spacing of up to two meters between units. In cases where purely visual guidance is sufficient, even greater spacing can be achieved, enhancing energy efficiency while maintaining directional clarity. The light quality is made possible through a precision optical system featuring a Softec protective lens, which integrates either a wide-beam sculptural lens or a narrow-beam prism lens depending on the version. A collimating lens made of optical polymer refines the output from the high-power LEDs, available in warm white (3000K) or neutral white (4000K), and other CCT/CRI combinations on request.
Built to endure outdoor conditions, the luminaire housing is made from corrosion-resistant cast aluminum with a No-Rinse surface treatment and a double powder-coated Graphit m finish. The bollard profile itself is crafted from corrosion-resistant aluminum with the same weatherproof coating, delivering structural integrity and long-term performance even in demanding climates. The optimized surface treatment also reduces dirt accumulation, ensuring that the fixture maintains its clean, minimalist appearance over time. Kubus boasts IP65 protection, making it completely dust-tight and resistant to water jets, which is essential for lighting exposed exterior environments.
Installation flexibility is another strength of the Kubus system. The luminaire and bollard are installed separately on-site, and a dedicated base plate is used for secure mounting onto compatible accessories (sold separately). Control gear is switchable by default, and other options—such as LEDs with CRI 97 or a wide selection of custom housing colors—are available on request to suit unique design preferences.
Ultimately, Kubus exemplifies how minimalist outdoor lighting can make a significant visual and functional impact. With a refined exterior, precise optics, and maintenance-free performance, it serves as both a practical tool for safety and an elegant design element that complements contemporary architectural landscapes.
