Architectural Lighting

The Concept Lighting range offers three lighting themes, each styled to compliment the architecture of the built environment for a particular era in time.

Classic

The Classic range reflects the elegance and established architecture of our past heritage and the early 20th century.

Retro

The Retro range marks the birth of suburbia and the garden cities of the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's.

Contemporary

The Contemporary range comprises of two luminaire designs to compliment the modern built environment. A range of high cone luminaries with simple bracket styles blend with the environment, whilst contrasting colours and sophisticated bracket designs available with the low cone range of luminaires present a striking form, adding an individual design statement to the project.

Performance

Concept offers designers a versatile range of lighting options ensuring optimum design even for the most challenging of landscapes.

Road Lighting Reflector

Based on a proven design, providing an effective method of lighting roadways to the latest specification.

Area Reflector

The Area Reflector produces a square illuminance distribution, ensuring a minimum number of lantern locations, an ideal solution for lighting uniformed areas such as car parks.

Variable Reflector

Abacus has engineered an innovative approach to providing variable optics. Pre-set reflector positions moving through increments of 15° produce a specific lighting distribution enabling the lighting designer to ensure optimum performance when designing around individual and challenging landscapes.

Composition and manufacture

Luminaire comprises of die cast aluminium central chassis, canopy and trim in spun aluminium, plastic bezel and polycarbonate / glass bowl depending on version specified. Reflector made from high polished anodised aluminium. Columns, brackets and embellishers are manufactured in steel or aluminium. Consult manufacturer for exact technical specification.

Technical Support

Abacus offers a free lighting design service with supply of equipment, or a complete turnkey package including installation.
