The goal of Agen Munic­i­pal Coun­cil was to create a pedes­tri­an­ized area in the heart of the town, which was to give pri­or­ity to pedes­tri­ans on the boule­vard and on adja­cent roads too. Plan­ning of the loca­tion catered for a meet­ing place, public ameni­ties like benches, trees and lights and an open space for walk­ers. Use of water on the boule­vard was also a require­ment. The light con­cept stems from Lionel Bessieres from the ​“Quartiers Lumières” agency, with Selux Olivio Grande lumi­naires deployed on 5 m high Flo­racion poles.

A par­tic­u­lar aspect of the poles is that they are equipped with neb­u­liz­ers at a height of 1.20 m with sound con­soles on the pole-tops. During very hot sum­mers, the neb­u­liz­ers spray water around the poles to refresh the pedes­tri­ans below. Lumera 300 lumi­naires are used to light the con­struc­tion, which have been painted the same colour as the wall to blend better into the over­all set­ting. The new light­ing has also reduced elec­tric­ity con­sump­tion by 60 per­cent while annual run­ning costs for public light­ing are four times less than with the old tech­nol­ogy. Two light­ing vari­ants are pos­si­ble, both nigh­t­ime light­ing and strictly lim­ited illu­mi­na­tion using pre­vi­ously set para­me­ters.

    Olivio

    The organic design of Olivio and its functional versatility due to the modular design of this luminaire family is inspired by role models from nature. As a result Olivio forms the basis for light concepts in urban living areas where the focus is on the well-being of people. Olivio luminaire heads are available in the sizes Grande, Medio and Piccolo and can be combined with various arms and pole types from the three design lines Sistema, Floracion and Candelabra. Yet it is not just the design that can be adapted individually according to the situation – various optics and light colours from 2,700 to 4,000 Kelvin also cater for challenging lighting tasks efficiently and without glare: from illumination of paths and squares, floodlighting of façades and accent lighting of buildings. The new Olivio Cap also reduces light scatter and for special requirements, with its camera and loudspeaker modules, Olivio can be integrated into smart application scene. The special wooden-pole aesthetic emphasizes the Olivio's high quality, organic luminaire design. Combined with luminaire heads in a harmonoius colour tone such as bronze, this results in a timelessly comforting spatial ambience.
