A-ROUND
Piero Lissoni
A-Round is a circle inside a square, itself inside a circle. It is informal and picks up on Vitruvio's idea, but instead of putting man in the centre we have put light.
Technical Description
Ground-recessed luminaire for outdoor use, walkable and trafficable, available in three sizes, with adjustable optics in various configurations. External body made of stainless steel AISI 316L treated with the PVD process (Physical Vapour Deposition). Thanks to this innovative treatment, after the polishing or brushing process, according to the finishing choice, the surfaces of A-Round are coated with a thin film of metals such as zirconium and titanium which, combining with the steel at the molecular level, increase the resistance to both mechanical and to atmospheric agents, permitting the execution of elegant and dura-ble finishings. The body of the luminaire is made of die-cast aluminum EN AB-47100 with low copper content, coated with two layers of paint with high resistance to corrosion. High-strength tempered clear glass, screen-printed to reduce glare. Driver for remote installation included, provided with M12 quick connector for watertight coupling. Installation requires a housing for flush mounting, to be ordered separately. It is necessary to provide an adequate level of gravel (> 300 mm) or a drain system to ensure drainage and avoid water stagnation. To ensure the sealing of the cable gland it is necessary to use flexible electric cables suitable for use in outdoor environments.
