1. Environmentally Conscious Outdoor Lighting – Reducing Light Pollution

One of the key issues in urban planning has become how to create beautiful and functional outdoor spaces without causing light pollution that harms the night sky. The new products from L&L Luce&Light and BEGA offer targeted, shaded lighting, minimizing unnecessary light emissions.

L&L Luce&Light – OLIVER: Precise Lighting with Minimal Light Spill

The new OLIVER spotlight series from L&L Luce&Light is designed to highlight facades, gardens, and public spaces without unnecessary light spill. Thanks to its high-performance optics and sleek design, the OLIVER provides precise, glare-free lighting.
Available in multiple sizes and color temperatures, it offers flexible lighting design possibilities – whether for hotel terraces, residential courtyard areas, or public buildings.

+1 interesting fact: The product name refers to the olive tree, symbolizing endurance and long-lasting quality – just like these lighting solutions.

BEGA’s garden and walkway lighting is the perfect choice for those looking to combine functional lighting with environmentally conscious design. Their fully shielded, downward-facing light provides glare-free illumination without unnecessarily lighting up the sky.

The light fixtures are also available with intelligent controls and motion sensors, can be regulated via an app, and feature adjustable color temperatures (3000K or 4000K). They are an ideal solution for restaurants, hotels, and public spaces where a pleasant atmosphere is desired while minimizing light pollution.

2. Naturalness in Outdoor Lighting – Wood as a Defining Material

Natural materials are playing an increasingly important role in outdoor design, creating warmth and a human-centric atmosphere. BEGA and iGuzzini are leading the way in this trend with their wood-based lighting solutions.

BEGA – Wood and Light: A Timeless Combination 

BEGA's new garden and walkway lights are made from durable, weather-resistant Accoya® wood, combined with aluminum lamp bodies, making them perfect choices for creating cozy yet modern terraces, gardens, and public spaces.

Accoya® wood is a specially treated, environmentally friendly, highly durable, and weather-resistant material that is resistant to moisture, mold, and warping—making it an ideal choice for long-lasting outdoor lighting.

These lamps are not only resistant and long-lasting but also become more distinctive over time. Their natural appearance and well-thought-out design prove that sustainability and design can go hand in hand.

iGuzzini – Urban Lighting with Wooden Poles: Creating Urban Forests

Even in the most modern urban environments, lighting elements made from wood can help make public spaces friendlier and more nature-oriented. iGuzzini's new wooden light poles create a warm, human-centric atmosphere in cities – an ideal solution for spaces, promenades, parks, and restaurant terraces.
Made from PEFC-certified Finnish pine, they ensure sustainable material use. They are strong, durable, and contribute to the creation of greener urban environments.

3. Customizable and Decorative Outdoor Lighting – When Design Meets Functionality

Outdoor lighting is no longer just functional: it creates ambiance, highlights architectural elements, and adapts to different spaces. From color-changing solutions to artistic, decorative lamps, we are now showcasing two outstanding innovations that offer a unique outdoor experience.

The popular RIO series from L&L Luce&Light – known for its elegant, linear design and seamless light output – is now available in an RGBW version, making it capable of producing both warm white and colored light.

Whether for a hotel courtyard, restaurant terrace, or public park, the RIO RGBW helps create the right atmosphere: from subtle, elegant white light to colorful, playful illumination for events and special occasions.

Its recessed installation and high load capacity – up to 5000 kg – make it an ideal choice for highlighting driveways, promenades, and outdoor architectural features. Additionally, there are no dark gaps between the light fixtures, ensuring a perfectly continuous light line.

Linea Light – Blum Spike: Playful, Elegant Light Accent in the Garden

The Linea Light Blum Spike lamp draws inspiration from nature: its flexible, slender stem resembles a flower stalk swaying in the wind. Available individually or in a trio composition, it creates subtle, elegant light accents in gardens, terraces, or outdoor lounges.
Thanks to its flexible design, it can be easily directed so that the light falls exactly where desired – for example, on a plant or walkway. Made from durable, weather-resistant material with an IP65 rating, it performs well in any environment. (The IP65 rating is an international standard ensuring the lamp is dustproof and protected against water jets, making it ideal for outdoor use, even in harsher weather conditions.)

4. Multifunctional and Versatile Lighting for Complex Needs

Modern outdoor spaces – whether hospitality venues, public areas, or larger architectural projects – often require multiple lighting solutions at once. Versatility and modularity are key: a great example of this is the Linea Light Skin lighting family.

Linea Light – Skin: A Modular, Elegant, and Functional Solution

Skin is a flexible, modular outdoor lighting system that adapts to any architectural situation. Thanks to its unique, elongated hexagonal shape, it easily follows curved surfaces, breakpoints, and non-linear facades – whether it's a ground-recessed, wall-mounted, or ceiling-mounted solution.

Available in various light distributions (from narrow spotlights to wide spread, and even asymmetric wall lights), it allows for precisely tailored lighting for the space. With its minimalist, streamlined design and timeless structure, it is an ideal choice for contemporary urban and architectural projects.

Whether you need functional pathway lighting, the highlighting of architectural elements, or ambient lighting, Skin accomplishes all of this in a perfectly stylish way.

As outdoor spaces evolve, lighting must be more than just functional: it needs to blend technology with nature, be flexible, and consider environmental factors as well. At Solinfo Group, we take pride in offering forward-thinking, design-centric solutions that help create beautiful, responsible, and sustainable outdoor environments.
