She is not just another street lamp. And what makes her different?. There are many led street lights, and most of them give-off a blinding light. Lola doesn´t do that. How come?
Well, it works in a way that follows the so-called optical principle of Deflection. Meaning, its light is directed towards the walls of its reflective cover, that acts as a collector and deflector, wich then points the light towards the street. Lola’s coated reflector collects the entire LED’s emission and directs the light to the central projector. Offering several advantages: the LED’s side emission does not get wasted, the light remains uniform, does not blind or lose intensity. Yielding high efficiency when illuminating the target. Lola’s head is much smaller and flat than traditional streets lamps. It is not random it reminds a radiator. In fact it was conceived to dissipate temperature generated by the light source. Solving this way, an aesthetic element and a practical need. The base of the post has a profile with an ondulated section to avoid posted stickers and signs. Its aluminium body resists abrasions, corroison and UV rays. All its components are completely recyclable and mercury-free.

Lola achieves the balancing act between functionality and expressiveness. Its discreet appearance and compact head, lets lola blend within different urban contexts.
