Architectural floodlighting

The range covers thirteen families designed for building illumination and decorative accent applications: UniDot G2, UniPoint, UniEdge, UniBar, UniString, UniStrip G4, UniFlood M G2, UniFlood C Pro, UNILinear Flex, Uni Wall Mount, Recessed, Uni Wall Sconce, and UniSpot. Each family addresses a distinct mounting format or optical effect, from compact spot projectors to continuous linear and direct-view pixel systems. Visit each family page on signify.com for full specifications and datasheets.

IP66 is available across the range, making the luminaires suitable for exposed outdoor environments where dust ingress and powerful water jets must be resisted. Mechanical impact protection is rated at IK06 or IK08 depending on the family — relevant for publicly accessible facades, podiums, and urban installations where incidental contact is a realistic risk. Confirm the specific rating for your chosen family in its datasheet before specifying.

CCT options across the families span from 2700 K to 4000 K. Warmer CCTs (2700 K–3000 K) suit heritage buildings, hospitality facades, and warm-stone or brick substrates where a flattering, amber-inflected rendition is desired. Cooler CCTs (3500 K–4000 K) suit contemporary glass, steel, and concrete architecture. Selection should be validated against the building's material reflectance and any local dark-sky or light-pollution requirements applicable to the project.

For architectural floodlighting, DALI is primarily a driver-programming interface rather than an installation-wide network protocol — installers use a DALI line to program dimming curves and curfew schedules into the driver without accessing the fixture at height. Network-level scene management, remote monitoring, and dynamic dimming across a building façade are handled via Interact City or Interact for Outdoor Spaces. Individual family datasheets confirm which dimming input is supported for each variant.

Both are floodlight families within the architectural range, but they serve different project scales and optical requirements. UniFlood M G2 is a medium-format projector suited to general building wash and accent applications. UniFlood C Pro is a higher-specification version offering extended optical and configuration options for demanding specification projects. Review the individual family datasheets to compare beam distributions, lumen packages, and available accessories.

For continuous linear and direct-view effects, UniBar, UniString, UniStrip G4, and UNILinear Flex are the primary candidates. UniBar and UniString provide direct-view pixel effects for media façades and decorative lines, while UniStrip G4 and UNILinear Flex deliver continuous grazing or cove illumination. Selection depends on whether the installation calls for visible individual point sources or a seamless light line.

IES/LDT photometric files, product datasheets, and BIM/Revit objects are available on each family's dedicated product page on signify.com — navigate to the relevant family (for example, UniSpot, UniFlood M G2, or UniPoint) and use the Downloads section. Note that the Online Product Configurator (OPC) is not currently active for outdoor families; all photometric and documentation downloads are accessed directly through the individual family product pages.

Outdoor architectural luminaires are exposed to transient overvoltages from lightning coupling and switching events in building electrical systems. Surge protection requirements depend on the installation's exposure class and the local earthing system. Specifiers should confirm the surge protection value stated in the selected family's datasheet and verify it aligns with the project's overvoltage category. For high-exposure landmark or heritage projects, contact Signify or an authorised partner to review the electrical environment and protection specification.

Warranty terms can differ by country and project type — verify the warranty period and conditions applicable in your market with the local Signify representative or authorised partner. For large-scale landmark projects, extended or project-specific warranty agreements may be available; discuss requirements at specification stage with your local Signify contact.

This is Signify's global product page. Country-specific regulations — such as the EU EcoDesign Directive, local electrical installation codes, and dark-sky ordinances — vary by market and are not covered on this page. For regulatory and compliance information specific to your installation, visit Signify's website for your country via the country selector, where the corresponding category page lists locally compliant variants and the applicable standards.
