Manufacturer Luminis used the multi-tasking Bellevue luminaire in the recently lauded Avenues-Bahrain, an innovative indoor/outdoor venue that won Best Retail Architecture at the Arabian and African Property Awards.
Avenues-Bahrain features a stunning domed glass ceiling designed to allow natural light while while protecting shoppers from the harsh desert heat.
Believue typically an outdoor fixture complements the look and feel of the mall with a modern streetlamp aesthetic that also provides targeted illumination.
The unique design features adjustable modules, each of which may be tilted fore/aft and left/right for precise directional aiming.
And Bellevue is especially versatile. The lamps on Avenues-Bahrain feature one or several additional optic arms, providing an extra lighting source as well as mounting for promotional banners.
