Are there any trends you are seeing in what Landscape Architects are asking for from VADER, IVY, CATIRPEL™ and LUCERA™?

 

We've observed several emerging trends:

Greater Emphasis on Precision and Beam Control
Designers are requesting more flexibility in optics and beam shaping which we have been able to continue to deliver - especially with VADER and CATIRPEL™. There's a clear demand for fixtures that offer precise illumination with minimal spill, particularly in applications where light control is critical for both aesthetics and environmental sensitivity.

Compact, Minimal Aesthetics
With IVY, CATIRPEL™ and LUCERA™, we're seeing a push toward more discreet, low-profile designs that integrate seamlessly into the landscape. Landscape Architects ideally want fixtures that enhance the environment without dominating it visually. They desire clean lines, compact form factors and finishes that blend with natural surroundings and provide a variety of mounting options.

Customization and Versatility
Modularity! Much of our product design focus lends around creating luminaires that can be used in numerous configurations for flexibility to adapt to diverse environments and applications without compromising design intent. Flexibility is key. With CATIRPEL™ and IVY architects appreciate the modularity and range of mounting options.
Ultimately, Landscape Architects are looking for lighting tools that offer performance, discretion, and durability-qualities we've built into the DNA of the VADER, IVY, CATIRPEL™ and LUCERA™ families.

Why would Landscape Architects choose VADER over your competitors?

VADER is an All-In-One modular floodlight projector that offers the extreme flexibility in optic, color temperature, and mounting configurations. VADER is uniquely designed with optimal lumen performance including high heat dissipation for extreme environments. It features a variable, hand adjustable, ZOOM hand adjustable optical system from 22-deg;-41° allowing field focusing and onsite aiming. VADER has a vast array of installation methods that make it compatible with ANY installation configuration.

What sets CATIRPEL™ apart from the competition in the lighting industry?

CATIRPEL™ was designed as a modular projector system, ideal for lighting nature and architecture. Its versatility, numerous finishes, optics and color temperatures makes CATIRPEL™ stand out from its competitors.

CATIRPEL™ is not a one-size-fits-all product. It's designed to be configured to fit the needs of each project, whether that means varied beam angles within one fixture run or coordinating finishes and mounting styles across different architectural and landscape elements. It is built for discreet integration into landscape environments and idesigned to follow curved surfaces making it suitable for lighting landscapes in a functional and creative way.
