The Nella post-top luminaire is a contemporary outdoor lighting solution designed with both style and environmental responsibility in mind. Intended for residential streets, parks, pathways, plazas, and the surrounds of buildings, it combines modern design with sustainability by adhering to Dark Sky principles. With less than 1% upward light output ratio (ULOR), Nella ensures that light is directed only where it is needed, preserving the nighttime environment and minimizing light pollution. This makes it a perfect choice for municipalities and developers looking to provide safe, attractive, and environmentally conscious illumination in urban and residential areas.
Built to deliver performance and reliability, Nella provides a 3000 K warm white color temperature that enhances visual comfort while blending harmoniously with outdoor environments. It is available in two optic types, offering up to 3600 lumens in the rotational symmetrical (RS) optic and up to 3300 lumens with the asymmetrical street (STR-A) optic. With an efficiency of up to 120 lumens per watt, the luminaire ensures high energy savings without compromising light quality. A simplified onboard manual dimming switch allows installers to select from four lumen output settings—30%, 50%, 75%, or 100%—at the time of installation, providing flexibility to tailor the illumination to the needs of each site.
The luminaire’s robust construction ensures durability in demanding outdoor conditions. Its canopy and brackets are made from resilient die-cast aluminum, finished with a powder-coated texturized anthracite for a modern appearance that complements urban architecture. The enclosure is crafted from tempered glass for added strength and visual clarity, while the complete assembly achieves an IK08 impact resistance rating. Nella is also designed with long-term resilience in mind, offering C3 corrosion protection in line with ISO 9223:2012 standards. An integrated surge protection device rated at 10 kV further safeguards the luminaire from electrical fluctuations, ensuring uninterrupted performance and extended lifespan.
With a rated lifetime of 70,000 hours at L80B20 under 25 °C conditions, Nella is engineered for years of reliable service with minimal maintenance requirements. Installation has been simplified to save time and reduce costs: the luminaire is supplied pre-wired in a single box, ready for quick post-top mounting on standard 60 mm columns at heights of 3 to 4.5 meters. Tool-free access at the top allows for straightforward maintenance and component access, minimizing disruption over the product’s operational life.
Designed as a versatile and value-driven solution, Nella balances aesthetics, performance, and ease of use. Its ability to deliver precise, efficient lighting while protecting the night sky makes it an ideal choice for residential and urban applications where both community comfort and environmental care are priorities.
