Rama, designed by Gonzalo Milá for Urbidermis, is a versatile area lighting solution that combines a minimalist, international aesthetic with robust performance and adaptability. A favorite among lighting designers and landscape architects around the world, Rama celebrates its enduring appeal with a redesign that enhances both its technology and usability. While the sleek, linear form remains unchanged, the luminaire has been completely reengineered to simplify installation and maintenance, with all electrical components easily accessible via a hinged door on the underside.
Rama is available in four standard pole heights—14.8 ft (4.5m), 19.7 ft (6m), 26.2 ft (8m), and 29.5 ft (9m)—allowing designers to scale the fixture to suit a wide range of outdoor environments. Its redesigned bracket system allows for flexible mounting configurations, accommodating single, double, or multiple luminaires at varying heights and orientations. The adjustable tenon also supports retrofitting to existing 5-inch poles, making Rama a practical solution for both new installations and upgrades.
Performance options are extensive. Rama offers four asymmetric light distributions and an LED array with four output levels, ranging from 1,500 to 18,000 lumens. Color temperature options include 2700K, 3000K, and 4000K, all with a CRI greater than 80. High-powered LEDs are mounted on a RoHS-compliant circuit board with PMMA optics, and the luminaires meet or exceed TM21 L70 standards for a rated life of over 60,000 hours. Rama’s directional lighting ensures reduced light pollution while delivering precise illumination for pedestrian and vehicular applications.
Built with durability and environmental standards in mind, Rama features a high-pressure die-cast aluminum housing, a tempered glass lens, and stainless steel hardware. The luminaire is IP66-rated, UL Listed, ROHS-compliant, and International Dark Sky approved. Power is delivered through a 120V–277V, 50/60 Hz electronic driver, with 0–10V dimming as standard. DALI dimming and integrated controls such as NEMA 7-pin receptacles or photo-motion sensors are also available.
The pole system includes straight round or stepped poles, depending on height, made from seamless aluminum alloy. Base plates are cast from A356 aluminum alloy and heat-treated to a T6 temper. Poles are designed with a flush-mounted hand hole cover and magna-coated fasteners, while anchor bolts conform to ASTM F1554 Grade 55 specifications and include galvanized threading for long-term durability.
Rama’s timeless design and technical adaptability make it an ideal solution for a wide variety of public spaces, from city streets and parks to university campuses and commercial zones. With its seamless integration of form and function, Rama remains a benchmark in contemporary area lighting.
