Born from a need for a low-level lighting solution that delivers precise illumination while helping to reduce unwanted light spill, Kingfisher Lighting is proud to introduce ARKA DS.
Designed to balance contemporary architectural form with controlled optical performance, ARKA DS provides a robust and adaptable solution for pathways, landscaped areas and outdoor environments where visual comfort and environmental sensitivity are key.
Design Philosophy – The Making of ARKA DS
ARKA DS has been developed to provide greater flexibility when designing low-level lighting schemes, balancing architectural form with reliable performance.
Manufactured from die-cast aluminium and finished in RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey, it provides a robust, considered solution for pathways, landscaped areas and outdoor environments where controlled illumination, visual comfort and environmental sensitivity are important.
Controlled Light Distribution
With switchable distribution allowing either symmetrical or asymmetrical output, ARKA DS can be adapted to suit the requirements of each space.
This flexibility allows illumination to be directed precisely where it is needed, helping to reduce unwanted light spill while supporting comfortable and practical exterior lighting schemes.
