SIMES’ individual exterior lighting expertise and strict environmental ethos provides architects and lighting designers with a combination of the most technologically advanced products combined with the very latest, eye-catching aesthetics. Ghost is a luminaire contained within a solid concrete structure, offered in various designs it incorporates a light blade within the concrete surround - when it’s off, it disappears. It has no artifice, just a cut in the concrete with brutal and magic inspiration, directly cast into the concrete, fusing architecture and light in a natural way. Another new, adjustable projector is Outline, a basic and sophisticated design created for a lighting system that shapes the space with a distinctive, clean and tasteful style. Whether as pole, wall or floor mounted, Outline enhances the expressivity of pure aluminium through minimal and simple lines that illuminate space and reveal its true potential.

A special double joint allows the projector to take infinite positions for different light effects and its minimal design makes it suitable for a wide range of architectural applications. Available in four sizes, Keen is engineered with the most advanced LED technology and different optical solutions, ensuring a performing light effect and energy saving characteristics. Other additions to the range include Streamline wall-washer and projector, a linear wall-washer designed to illuminate walls and facades with a grazing light effect, creating a soft and uniform diffusion, Smooth functional and accent lighting that’s guaranteed by the latest generation of LED, combined with specific reflectors and Plan, a brand new LED appliqué with single or double light emission.
