City square at night with warm outdoor lighting

Outdoor light recipes


Outdoor lighting is about more than visibility- it shapes how people feel in public spaces after dark. Our outdoor light recipes use advanced spectral engineering craft to improve color perception and clarity at night without increasing brightness. By balancing contrast, warmth, and uniformity, these recipes create environments that feel safe, comfortable, and inviting while minimizing glare and light pollution. 

 

Each recipe is tailored to specific outdoor needs:  

 

 

  • ColorRevive – Enhances color contrast and facial recognition for safety and orientation, reducing harsh shadows and maintaining modest brightness.

  • ColorAmbience – Warm, welcoming light for city centers and historical areas, encouraging social interaction and highlighting architectural beauty.

  • NightGlow – Very warm, low-blue light for parks and heritage sites, minimizing impact on human and animal circadian rhythms while creating a nostalgic atmosphere.

     

Whether illuminating public squares, residential streets, or cultural landmarks, our outdoor light recipes help cities and communities create spaces that feel secure, vibrant, and respectful of the environment. 

ColorRevive 

ColorRevive delivers uniform, diffuse illumination to reduce harsh shadows and ensure appropriate color contrast in outdoor applications.
 

ColorRevive promotes orientation, recognition, and feelings of safety while keeping brightness modest. Good color contrast ensures that people can recognize faces, surfaces, and hazards accurately, even at lower light levels. The balanced color temperature is warm enough to feel welcoming and cool enough to sharpen edges and improve perception of detail.

Emotional impact
 

  • Safety through clarity: Faces, objects, and paths are distinguishable but not over-lit

  • Comfortable atmosphere: Softer brightness avoids sterile or “interrogation light” effects

  • Inviting public realm: Encourages people to linger, stroll, or gather

 

Applications
 

  • Ambient light for general orientation outdoors

  • Public spaces 

  • Residential areas

  • Nightlife areas 

  • Landmarks and architectural features 

ColorAmbience 

Developed for urban environments where aesthetics and comfort matter, ColorAmbience combines visual clarity with a sense of warmth - bringing out the beauty of façades, streetscapes, and landmarks without harsh brightness or glare. It aligns with the familiar feel of traditional outdoor lighting while adding a modern touch of uniformity and color consistency.

Emotional impact
 

  • Welcoming atmosphere: Encourages social interaction and lingering

  • Enhanced beauty: Highlights architectural features and historical charm

  • Comfort and familiarity: Warm tones evoke a sense of safety and belonging

 

Applications
 

  • City centers and pedestrian zones

  • Historical districts and cultural landmarks 

  • Outdoor dining areas and nightlife streets

NightGlow

NightGlow is designed to minimize light disturbance while maintaining energy efficiency and visual quality, helping cities reduce light pollution and protect biodiversity. By using a spectrum with less than 1% blue light, NightGlow provides enough illumination for people to feel safe and oriented without disrupting nocturnal animals or natural ecosystems. 


This solution supports animal-friendly lighting and aligns with sustainability goals- reducing ecological impact while delivering a warm, golden glow reminiscent of traditional street lighting. It enhances the character of parks, heritage sites, and cultural spaces while remaining gentle on the environment.

Emotional impact

 

  • Planet-friendly: Maximum reduction of light disturbance for ecological balance

  • Animal-friendly: Spectrum allows humans to see without harming wildlife

  • Warm and inviting: Creates a cozy, familiar nighttime ambiance

 

Applications

 

  • Parks and nature reserves

  • Animal-friendly zones and ecological corridors 

  • Cultural heritage sites and historical districts
