Dark Sky Kew

Lead Designers Alexander Leck

Entry Description

Designed in alignment with principles set by the International Dark Sky Association, the Dark Sky Kew projects light downwards, preventing upwards light spill that disrupts wildlife and contributes to light pollution.

The Dark Sky Kew comes in two head sizes, the miniature Dark Sky Kew 25 and the larger Dark Sky Kew 40. Both use a wide optic to create a soft pool of light and a repositionable half snoot to minimise glare. The uniquely shaped stem, angled 20° below horizontal, ensures that light is directed below the horizon line regardless of the angle of tilt.

The Dark Sky Kew family allows for more versatility in the garden than any other range on the market. A highly configurable luminaire, the height can be easily increased with either 0.5m or 1m extension tubes, resulting in a total product height from 0.5m all the way up to 2.5m. A versatile ground plate adds stability to tall configurations and offers the ability to mount single, double or triple clusters all within the same part. Spike mounting ensures that the fittings can be easily repositioned in response to natural changes in planting growth throughout the seasons.

Sustainability Approach

The Dark Sky Kew range is manufactured, in responsible volumes and from sustainable materials, locally to our Head Office within the UK. It shares common parts with our wider garden range, so that any surplus componentry can be put to use in a number of other products.

The Dark Sky Kew combines the latest in LED and optic technology to provide the highest possible efficiency, ensuring that each lumen is being put to good use - which is more important than ever during an energy crisis.

All packaging for Dark Sky Kew is 100% recyclable, and all deliveries are carbon offset.
