The Volupto is a decorative post-top LED lantern designed to bring elegance, comfort, and performance to urban and residential outdoor spaces. Its refined aesthetics are matched by a robust optical system and a wide range of intelligent control features, ensuring both energy efficiency and visual comfort for citizens. With its optimized diffuser and advanced R-PEC or A-PEC optics, the luminaire delivers precise light placement, minimizing waste and glare while offering a wide selection of lumen packages, distributions, and color temperatures. The integration of a high-tech mixing chamber ensures a gentle luminous effect that enhances public areas with unobtrusive, balanced light.
One of the defining features of Volupto is its ability to provide a safe, welcoming glow while reducing environmental impact. Dedicated optics limit upward lighting to less than 1%, ensuring compliance with strict obtrusive light standards such as CIE 150 and the Institution of Lighting Professionals guidance for rural, urban, and commercial areas. Available in warm color temperatures of 2200K, 2700K, and 3000K, Volupto minimizes disruption to nocturnal ecosystems while creating comfortable, human-centric lighting environments. For areas requiring higher intensity, cooler options such as 4000K are also available. When paired with a louvre, the R-PEC optic can reduce backlighting by up to 20%, cutting spill light towards nearby buildings and improving residents’ quality of life at night.
Volupto is not only a lantern but also a smart urban lighting tool. It comes standard with Zhaga interfaces, enabling seamless integration with digital lighting networks. This makes it possible to upgrade or connect the luminaire to advanced control solutions at any time. A fully integrated, high-sensitivity motion detection sensor can identify pedestrians, cyclists, and slow-moving vehicles within a five-meter-wide zone at a typical mounting height of four meters. The light intelligently adjusts its output—maintaining a dimmed 20% base level to preserve the night environment, then brightening to full power when motion is detected. With customizable hold times and dimming transitions, the system ensures people feel both safe and comfortable while minimizing unnecessary energy use. Additional intelligent options include DALI2 dimming, Bi-Power functions, Constant Light Output, Light Reduction Twin Phases, and radio frequency connectivity.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant die-cast aluminium (EN AC-44300) and finished in a textured anthracite grey close to RAL 7043, Volupto is built to withstand the most demanding environments, achieving a corrosion class rating of C5 according to ISO 9223. Alternative finishes include textured light grey, black, and up to 48 additional RAL colors, providing full customization for architectural integration. The diffuser, available in semi-frosted or clear UV-stabilized polycarbonate, works in harmony with the internal highly reflective white reflector to maximize efficiency. The luminaire achieves up to 7700 lumens and 159 lm/W performance, with durability proven by 100,000-hour lifetimes at B10 L95 (25 °C) and B10 L90 (50 °C). Rated IP66 and IK10, it offers full protection against dust, water ingress, and vandalism.
Installation and maintenance are simplified through practical design. Volupto is lightweight and pre-wired, requiring just one tool for both mounting and servicing. It supports post-top mounting on Ø60mm or Ø76mm spigots and uses 120° fixing screws for secure alignment. Maintenance is accessible from above with a single tool, while replaceable components such as the LED head and gear box ensure long service life and sustainable operation.
Balancing vertical and horizontal illumination, Volupto provides an ideal solution for city centers, residential streets, pedestrian zones, cycle paths, parks, and promenades. Its combination of elegant design, high-performance optics, environmental sensitivity, and intelligent control makes it a future-ready luminaire, capable of meeting today’s requirements while adapting to the evolving demands of smart urban spaces.
