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.
