Lupa features a disk shape, no visible hardware, and a seamlessly integrated arm to bring a contemporary feel and refined look to public spaces. It is intended for urban landscapes such as courtyards, university and corporate campuses, urban parks, city squares, transit access, and transitional areas.

With nighttime use of public spaces on the rise, there is an emphasis on human-focused lighting that responds to the emotional need for that space to feel safe, warm, and welcoming. Lupa was intentionally designed with lower pole heights to contribute to this feeling of security. Yet, its light engine produces a gentler, more comfortable gradient for a softer look and glare-free environment.

Lupa’s light engine also features the latest ink technology in its diffuser to deliver broader, more even light distribution. Luminosity is uniform and unpixellated in appearance. City planners may choose from symmetric distribution for wide open spaces such as courtyards, asymmetric distribution for streets and alleyways, or pathway distribution for illuminating linear pedestrian routes.

Cast aluminum housing contributes to a high-quality, robust construction. Performance packages from P10 (3,260 delivered lumens) to P50 (15,880 delivered lumens) may be selected. Lupa is IP66-rated and dark sky friendly

Lupa features a modern, minimalist disk-shaped design, ideal for today’s urban landscapes. Its clean lines, lack of visible hardware, and seamlessly integrated arm bring a refined and elegant touch to public spaces, both day and night. This sleek and contemporary design allows Lupa to blend effortlessly into modern urban environments.

Lupa is engineered to deliver optimal visual comfort. Its comfort-focused lens is specifically designed to reduce glare, ensuring a pleasant and safe user experience. This feature is especially valuable in pedestrian areas such as campuses, public squares, and entertainment districts, where visual comfort is essential.

Lupa’s state-of-the-art light engine incorporates the latest optical ink technology, enabling broad and uniform light distribution. This innovation minimises glare at the source and creates a gentler transition zone between the light source and its surroundings, resulting in softer, more harmonious illumination. Additionally, the recessed luminous surface remains invisible to those outside the lit area, contributing to discreet yet effective lighting.

Lupa offers three photometric distribution types—symmetric, asymmetric, and pathway—making it suitable for a wide range of pedestrian applications. This versatility allows lighting to be tailored to the specific needs of each space, whether it’s a large open courtyard, a street, or a linear pedestrian path.

Designed to be fully removable and recyclable at the end of its life cycle, Lupa reflects Cyclone’s commitment to sustainability. It is UL certified, IP66 rated for harsh weather conditions, and dark sky friendly, helping to minimise light pollution and preserve the night sky.

With lumen output ranging from 3,260 lm to 15,500 lm, Lupa delivers high-performance lighting that meets both safety and ambiance requirements for public spaces. Its robust cast aluminum housing ensures long-lasting durability and reliable operation.

Lupa by Cyclone distinguishes itself through its modern design, visual comfort, advanced technology, versatility, sustainability, and outstanding performance.
