A completely new series of slim tubular lighting columns has been introduced by Thorn.
Called the Alumet range, the new luminaires provide what is probably the most comprehensive and flexible system of its kind ever offered to landscape architects and planners.
Alumet comes with either an opal or clear diffuser. The former takes twin 54W T5 lamps (Classic series); the clear diffusers offer a three-way choice of optics: with Fresnel rings or a glass top lens to suit a 35-150W HIT-CE lamp (Control Indirect and Direct series), or with multi-layered directional spotlights for that added element of drama (Stage series). The spotlights take white or coloured LEDs (17W), with narrow or wide beams, or 35W HIR-CE 111 lamps. They can be supplied with various louvres, refractors and filters.
An external lampshield (180 degree) with arabesque or perforated mesh patterns adds further flexibility.
The 200mm diameter extruded aluminium column, finished in textured, silver grey, comes in 3m or 4m options for direct embedment or flange mounting. It is rated IP65.
