Comfort in urban areas

Syrius was born with the aim of bringing the human being back to the center of his space : to illuminate urban environments keeping in mind those who use it , to move decisively from quantity to quality and to look for solutions and materials that minimize the visual and environmental impact and are completely recyclable .

Thus Wavemax ® was born , an unprecedented optical technology , which through the use of geometries and components that have never been used so far in a luminaire allows to “ hide ” the LED inside of the optics , creating a light distribution where the totality of light is controlled and directed , and without a direct emission of the diodes . The result is a precise but soft luminous surface , a uniform distribution that stops the annoying effect of chromatic distortion due to the binning of diodes , which minimizes the effect of pixellation through clearer images that create greater safety for the city dwellers and that eliminate the undesirable effect of the luminous discontinuity on the emitting surface . With Syrius “ the street lighting fixture ” becomes an urban living room lamp and the bench is transformed into an environment where you can read and smile in the light of the night as in the shade of a tree during the day , and the road becomes a safer path to reduce the potential risks for traffic . Putting “ Man and environment at the centre of the project ” also means a specific research on new materials , which will reduce the consumption of natural resources during the production phase , and therefore emit only a fraction of CO2 into the atmosphere compared to traditional technologies , and finally , which fit harmoniously within the framework of circular economy , as key pillars of a new and growing sustainable economy . This is how Litestrong was born , a material used for the first time on a lighting fixture , tested on multiple applications in very aggressive environments , characterized not only by a significantly reduced weight compared to aluminium , but also by an absolutely superior thermal and mechanical resistance , which makes it an ideal element to guarantee life cycles of over 25 years even in particularly hot environments and with demanding atmospheric agents . The product has successfully passed the most severe durability tests and its environmental impact has been assessed by a third-party company through the creation of an LCA according to the provisions of ISO 14021 , which highlighted the advantages compared to lighting fixtures of similar performance but made of aluminium . Syrius is entirely Made in Italy , from the body to the accessories , the production chain is very localized , the product is equipped with a great number of Smart Lighting solutions for management levels of varying complexity , and intelligently integrates even with pre-existing architectures . Syrius is the perfect synthesis between American technology and Italian design , capable of making a product the highest concentrate of innovation without compromising form and function .
