Raising the bar in style and practicality, Ansell Lighting’s brand-new outdoor lighting range, Foliar Connect, is ideal for high-end residential lighting projects, says the company.
Consisting of three contemporary, spike-mounted luminaires and a centralised control hub, the 24V, low voltage lighting system combines sleek design with outstanding performance and ease of installation, says the maker.
Available in either black or natural green finishes, all products in the Foliar Connect range have been created to blend effortlessly into outdoor environments.
Foliar’s Planter Spike is well matched for flower beds and other planting areas, providing subtle, low-level lighting, whilst the Mini Flood Spike delivers a wider spread of light in larger areas. Finally, the Spot Light Spike has been specifically designed to provide more targeted illumination, a good device for drawing attention to specific features or architectural details.
A major attraction of the Foliar Connect range is its innovative plug-and-play setup and centralised control. Simple to install, the hub includes a mounting bracket with a built-in spirit level to ensure hassle-free positioning, whilst the spike fittings can be simply pushed into the ground and connected to the hub using quick-fit connectors, with no wiring or tools required. Two and four-way splitters are also available, enabling the system to be configured to suit a wide range of outdoor layouts.
Highly flexible, this inventive modular design allows lights to be added, adjusted or repositioned with ease at any time and without the need for further electrical work.
The central hub enables seamless control across all connected luminaires and allows for CCT selection between 3000K and 4000K. An OCTO-enabled version is also available, offering remote access to dimming, scheduling and other adjustments via smartphone or tablet.
All luminaires in the Foliar Connect range are IP66-rated, making them robust, weather-resistant and built to perform reliably in all outdoor conditions.
Mark Abbott, Managing Director at Ansell Lighting says, “As its name suggests, the new Foliar Connect range has been specifically designed to complement landscaped environments and is perfect for subtly lighting up features such as foliage, pathways and architectural details without disrupting the natural aesthetic. It is also incredibly easy to install and operate, offering users the freedom to change installation layouts and operative settings as required, for enhanced functionality.”
