Some smart lamps have brains and beauty.
Sonneman
Sonneman’s first collection of outdoor fixtures comprises 35 studies in geometry, each offered in a trio of finishes. (Tides sconce in textured gray, shown; other options include textured bronze and white.) Illuminated with 10W to 20W LED arrays, these uplights, downlights, and precision spots in square, round, and rectilinear shapes are ADA-compliant—and may be used indoors too.
Wästberg
Made of two pieces of opaline glass, this dimmable lamp—which designer Inga Sempé named with the French word for glowworm—emits light from the top of its conic shade to the bottom of its cylindrical base. Illumination levels range from very bright to a mere halo. Available in a 13" x 10" bedside and 20" x 15" table size fitted with, respectively, E14 and E27 sockets.
Lunera Lighting
This smart-lighting platform starts with new, sensor-filled versions of Lunera’s plug-and-play retrofit LED lamp engines. These SensAble Technology lamps may be used alone—responding individually to motion, heat, and light—or linked via a ZigBee network. An optional control app, ST Connect, uploads the lamps’ data to a Cloud account, where it is analyzed for cost and energy savings.
Dyson
Dyson’s entry into architectural lighting features a heat-pipe cooling technology that prolongs an LED’s life; it also allows the fixture to provide an even, intense light using half the amount of energy usually required. A custom-engineered PMMA lens focuses the illumination, with adjustable trim blades offering framing and glare control. Available in downlight (pictured) and uplight versions.
Zumtobel
Created for urban environments, this modular family of plug-and-play outdoor LED fixtures uses two types of luminaires to illuminate surfaces and set target accents. The adjustable lights can be mounted on masts, walls, floors, or ceilings to brighten pathways and architectural details. Offered in two color temperatures and five light-projection types.
Flos Architectural
Still in the concept stage, Vincent van Duysen’s sculptural, Bauhaus-inspired Infra-Structure plays with rhythm and sequence, offering specifiers their own custom mix of pendants, luminaires, and spotlights magnetically connected around a 24V track. The surfacemounted system may be installed in a single line or with multiple linked tracks.
