The Torres area light is a refined and modern lighting solution designed to quietly enhance the character of urban environments. With a graceful, minimalist silhouette and a “gull wing” profile, Torres complements both traditional and contemporary architecture, adding visual intention without overpowering the composition. Originally designed by Rodrigo Torres, the fixture transforms the iconic streetlight into a sleek and expressive form that fits seamlessly into a variety of public spaces.
Torres area lights are available in two sizes, featuring 36- or 56-LED configurations and offering four light output levels, two drive currents, and three distribution types. Luminaires are equipped with a factory-sealed, replaceable LED cartridge that features high-power LEDs, secondary optics in roadway distribution types, and die-cast aluminum heatsinks. Color temperatures of 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K are available across all options, all with a color rendering index above 80 CRI. Configurations meet or exceed TM21 L70 ratings of over 60,000 hours, ensuring long-term performance.
Poles for Torres luminaires are offered in 12-foot, 16-foot, 20-foot, and 25-foot heights. Single or dual luminaires can be mounted at any height along the pole, with dual fixtures also mountable back to back. These poles are made from seamless aluminum alloy and topped with a standard 2 3/8-inch diameter by 3-inch tenon, drilled to suit the mounting specifications prior to finishing. A flush top cap and optional ANSI C136.41 twist-lock receptacle support added controls when needed. A cast aluminum base plate is paired with a two-piece decorative cover or nut covers, and anchor bolts conform to ASTM F1554 Grade 55.
The system is designed for flexibility and serviceability. LED cartridges are replaceable, aluminum and steel materials are recyclable, and the fixtures are compatible with tenon mounts for installation on existing poles. The clear or diffused lens options are constructed from UV-stable, impact-modified acrylic, with an IP66 rating for outdoor performance. A fastener-free aesthetic is achieved through concealed magni-coated hardware that protects against corrosion and seizing.
Torres incorporates a 120V–277V 50/60 Hz electronic driver located in the luminaire arm. It is 0–10V dimmable and surge-protected, with optional pole-mounted GFCI outlets and ANSI twist-lock receptacles available. For smart lighting and energy savings, the system supports an advanced photo/motion sensor rated for extreme temperatures and up to 200,000 on/off cycles. The sensor includes adjustable dim levels, dawn control, time delays, and an automatic hold-off setpoint calibration, all accessible through a wireless configuration tool. The sensor is also IP66 rated for outdoor reliability.
Beyond technical sophistication, Torres is Buy America Compliant and proudly manufactured in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It is International Dark-Sky Approved and Full Cutoff, minimizing light pollution with zero uplight. Designed with ecological responsibility in mind, Torres is an enduring lighting solution that delivers both performance and elegance in public realm applications such as streetscapes, campuses, civic spaces, and pedestrian pathways.
