Pelican is a luminaire inspired by the fluid, organic forms found in nature. With its graceful, curved design and wide illuminated surface, it brings elegance, harmony, and comfort to outdoor lighting environments. More than just a visually striking form, Pelican is engineered to minimize glare and distribute light uniformly, offering a tranquil and welcoming atmosphere in public spaces such as pathways, plazas, sidewalks, city streets, parks, and commercial building facades.
At the heart of Pelican’s design is an advanced edge-lit technology that creates a luminous, soft glow across its broad 24" x 18" surface. This edge-lit optical system incorporates LED boards, a precision-etched light guide panel, a diffusor, and a reflector, working together to provide even illumination without harsh hotspots or visual discomfort. The result is a smooth light transition ideal for environments where people walk, gather, work, or relax—spaces where comfort and ambiance matter.
Pelican’s lighting performance is enhanced by its innovative light guide technology and a patent-pending construction. LEDs are strategically positioned to optimize light extraction and direct it precisely where needed. This careful engineering reduces peak intensity between luminaires and eliminates blinding light, contributing to a more pleasant nighttime experience. The luminaire also subtly illuminates its own structure at night, framing its aperture and the lower sections of its pole, creating a soft visual signature that enhances nighttime aesthetics.
Designed for flexibility and function, Pelican supports a wide range of light distributions and lumen outputs. Available distributions include pathway symmetric, pathway asymmetric, asymmetric wide, asymmetric long, and symmetric round. Lighting designers can choose outputs ranging from 5,000 to 18,000 delivered lumens, enabling the fixture to address both pedestrian-scale environments and larger roadways or open spaces. Whether the goal is safety, wayfinding, or general area lighting, Pelican delivers precise illumination that enhances visibility and security while maintaining a calm, inviting feel.
Pelican is offered with a variety of mounting configurations to suit different site conditions and project needs. It can be pole-mounted as a single or twin fixture on poles ranging from 8 to 20 feet in height, or mounted directly to walls for architectural integration. This versatility makes Pelican suitable for a wide range of outdoor applications, from urban infrastructure and public parks to university campuses and commercial settings.
To support contemporary controls and system integration, Pelican is available with nLight® AIR, a wireless platform that provides networked lighting controls for greater energy efficiency and ease of operation. Other options include photocells, motion sensors, surge protection, fuses, and GFI/CGF receptacles. Pelican can be specified in static white LED modules at 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K, all with 80 CRI, and is compatible with 120V, 277V, 347V, 480V, MVOLT, and HVOLT input ranges.
Pelican’s finish options also support durability and aesthetic flexibility, with eight standard colors in marine-grade paint that is suitable for natatorium environments. With its organic form, performance-driven design, and thoughtful engineering, Pelican is a modern outdoor luminaire that blends artistic expression with functional excellence—an ideal solution for today’s pedestrian-friendly environments.
