by Shane Henson — March 8, 2013—Landscape Forms, a premier global brand of outdoor furniture, LED lighting and accessories that help create a sense of place, recently announced the availability of Rama, a striking and versatile pedestrian light from Barcelona-based global partner Santa & Cole.
Architectural in form and minimalist in expression, Rama features “branches” stemming from a “trunk” that support multiple luminaires on a single pole. Designed by Gonzalo Milá, this distinguished element in the Santa & Cole Urban Elements collection was the recipient of an ADI-FAD Silver Delta Award from Spain’s Association of Industrial Design.
Rama ranges in height from 15 to 26 feet and accommodates up to five luminaires mounted in different directions and at different heights to put light where it is needed, says Landscape Forms. On pathways, a single luminaire can light the walkway. On streetscapes, two luminaires mounted in opposing positions on the pole overlook the street and light the sidewalk. In very large plazas or parking lots, a tall light with five luminaires at spiraling locations along the pole illuminates a wide area.
The street lamp also delivers the latest in energy-efficient light-emitting diode (LED) technology. Its directional lighting and use of white light provide a great visual experience, with reduced light pollution, as well as excellent performance with reduced energy consumption, says Landscape Forms.
Rama is also sustainable, according to the company. Composed of three basic parts, pole, luminaire and clamp, the pedestrian light is designed to be easy to store, transport, install and maintain. All aluminum in construction, it is fully recyclable.
Landscape Forms offers Rama in LED and metal halide versions. The Rama LED extruded aluminum luminaire with handsome clear anodized finish has white (4000°K) LEDs that mimic the color of moonlight to support circadian rhythm and human health. The Rama Metal Halide with painted cast aluminum luminaire is an economical lighting solution that uses metal halide lamps provided by users and offers another Landscape Forms option for lighting outdoor spaces.
