The ambition of combining aesthetics and durability
Designers and constructors have had a hard time finding park lights and bollard lights, which pass aesthetic and durability demands.
A great park light illuminates the required area without causing unnecessary glare and reflection
Another problem has been insufficient light and excess glare. Kuikka can answer this problem: suitable illumination without glare.
Renowned architect Matti Iiramo designed Kuikka. The motivation for designing the light was to find a solution suitable for the harsh Nordic conditions, demanding durability of public facilities, while still having an aesthetic design. The design of Kuikka is timeless and fits in different environments, from public to private and urban to rural. The design team also referenced studies in Sweden and conducted numerous field trips to Denmark, where there is a long heritage in light designs.
Made in Finland
Verdelux´s Kuikka is the first of its kind in Finland, providing high-class and multipurpose outdoor lights. Kuikka design and production are conducted in Finland using high-quality Finnish quality and production standards.
Full points in vandalism testing
Vandalism can cause significant and unexpected expenses for municipalities, as well as a safety hazard. To reduce this unnecessary cost, lights used in streets, parks and playfields should be designed to endure vandalism. In the IK- shockproof test (so-called vandalism test), Kuikka scored above the competition, receiving 6 points with a quenched glass plate and 10 full points with a polycarbonate plate.
Sustainability
Sustainability and life cycle thinking have become increasingly visible in all production. Verdelux products advance life cycle thinking in practice. The LED technology enables decreased energy consumption, while the durability of Verdelux products reduces the need for replacement parts and material consumption.
