Shadows of the trees in the winter moonlight
my shadow moves along.

The wrong lighting eliminates natural contrast
and diminishes the beauty of nature.
Light and dark are complementary elements:
only when they are put together, in natural
or artificial illumination, can we understand
the fullness and majesty of natural shapes.
3
Colour adds to the combination of light and dark
to interpret a season or emphasize a particular
element: nature becomes the scenography that
surrounds life.
4
4Seasons is an integrated system of information,
technical specifications and luminaires designed
specifically for parks, gardens and greenspaces.
PRISMA ARCHITECTURAL
Lighting a natural element in the best possible way means emphasizing
its shape in detail, evaluating its size and possible growth,
and visualizing its appearance over a period of seasons.
And perfect lighting can be obtained only by recreating
the natural equilibrium between light and dark.
4Seasons was created with the idea of suggesting different options
for lighting engineering projects that make it possible to control and
utilize shadows, in addition to respecting the natural areas.
It’s not just a technical matter. We are also thinking
about creating atmosphere and taking care of the environment.
5
Throwing shadows has always been
a simple but captivating game that can change
the appearance of a spotlighted element.
4 SEASONS - GARDEN SYSTEM
The variety of plant species, the different
growth phases of trees and bushes and
the correlation between the different natural
elements present in a greenspace are factors
that can generate a wide range of lighting
problems, even within a single garden.
For every situation, 4Seasons allows you
to find the perfect combination
of light emission and positioning of luminaires.
6
7
For lighting engineering purposes, the infinite
variety of plants can also be classified according
to shape.
Correct lighting can therefore be decided
by considering similar criteria for trees with
the same basic shape.
4 SEASONS - GARDEN SYSTEM
4Seasons luminaires make it possible to adjust the light emission
with screens that have geometric shapes or decorative motifs.
Each screen can be used as desired to create light and shadowing
effects that play upon the surface features of the element
in question, with an infinite number of creative possibilities.
8
Even on a flat surface like, for instance, a long walkway,
light can form patterns and decorative effects that integrate
artificial lighting into the natural landscape.
Each element in a garden, like a hedge or a group of bushes, can be lit up
in a particular way to call attention to it in a nocturnal landscape.
9
The shadows generated
with the screens can radically
modify the spotlighted element.
10
Seasonal variations influence the
appearance of parks and gardens.
Each season coincides with a specific
phase of the life cycle of the different
trees, bushes and lawns that change
colours and shapes all year long.
Nocturnal lighting can be planned to
change the dominant colour scheme
and adapt to the different seasons.
PRISMA ARCHITECTURAL
Natural elements and coloured lighting
can produce surprising, changing scenes.
The change can follow and emphasize
the modifications in seasonal conditions, or create
a quick, continuous visual effect,
like one that could be used for a festive evening.
In this way, scenographic content becomes
an integral part of the lighting engineering project.
The range of 4Seasons luminaires includes several
light emission alternatives, with infinite possibilities
for changing colours and beam intensity.
11
4 SEASONS - GARDEN SYSTEM
THE LUMINAIRES
The 4Seasons system includes three types of luminaires and different types of light sources.
CUT is suitable for illuminating trees and
bushes of any size, and stands out because
of its particularly shaped housing, with a
slanted contour. The light emission covers
a 90° angle, which can be adjusted by
closing one of the three open sides.
This luminaire can accommodate a wide
range of light sources, some of which
allow for colour variations.
BOX is suitable for illuminating trees
and bushes of any size, and has the same
variety of light sources as CUT. The light
emission covers a 90° angle, and can be
adjusted by closing one of the two open
sides.
DECO is designed for decorative lighting
for pedestrian walkways and flat areas.
The light emission can be modified by
closing one or more of the five open sides.
This luminaire is designed for one light
source only.

light sources, drawings of the screens

4 SEASONS - GARDEN SYSTEM
LIGHTING TECHNIQUE
Here below, you’ll find a few simple guidelines that
are useful for those that want to learn more about
lighting natural elements, even if you have very little
experience.
1 - define the type of shape of the natural element
you want to spotlight
2 - define the position of the points of light necessary
for good quality lighting
3 - define the graphic personality of the natural
element and choose the most suitable screens
1 - TYPES OF SHAPES
2 - POSITION OF LIGHTS
The shape and size of the natural element are determined
to define the power and width of the light beam necessary
for the best lighting characteristics.
Each shape has different requirements, both in terms
of direction and in terms of the number of luminaires
necessary to illumine the whole surface of the tree.
It is well known that a tree’s natural development is
regulated by the golden ratio, which is followed even
in the fields of art and architecture as a perfect and
harmonious proportional relationship.
This same pattern also determines the optimal
position of the points of light with respect to the size
of the plant and the main point of view.

In fact, the points of light should always be
placed along the path in a spiral, which
develops according to the golden ratio.
To avoid glare, the light beam must never be
pointed towards the point of observation.

3 - THE GRAPHIC PERSONALITY
AND THE USE OF SCREENS
Besides the shape and size, a natural element also
has a graphic personality that can be emphasized
with shadowing.
Screens of the 4Seasons luminaires create a wide
range of effects by combining light and dark,
which transforms the lighting layout to tailor it to
the personality of the natural element.
4Seasons has several screens designed to bring
out some typical personalities.
However, the screens can be used as desired, to
discover creative new effects and generate new
sensations.
DYNAMIC
CONSTANT
MOBILE

16
Trees with similar shapes can have
different graphic personalities:
dynamic, static, mobile or other.
The screens for 4Seasons luminaires
(Kit Shadow) are designed according
to graphic personality to obtain the
best light and shadow effects for the
specific tree.
On the following sheets, there
are a few parameters and typical
personalities.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEETS
The technical data sheets contain
solutions for optimal lighting of the
main types of tree shapes, and for
some natural elements found frequently
in gardens.
For each natural element, the sheet
suggests the best type of luminaire with
the visualization of the most correct
lighting arrangement and a few possible
variations, in relation to the seasons
or the screens.
There are obviously an infinite number
of variables in the lighting project of
a greenspace.
This range of basic solutions was not
intended to be all inclusive. In the pages
following the technical data sheets,
there are a few examples that allow us
to explore personalized solutions.

The Grill accessory is a protective, anti-vandalism grate
that can be mounted in place of a screen to protect the
underlying glass.
The Blind accessory is a blind screen that blocks the
light beam.
The USB interface for the DMX card is a module
that contains a software interface between the PC and
the DMX communication protocol, used in the control
system of the lights.
The IR multi-function remote makes it possible
to manage and change the light emission of the light
sources Color, Double C and Mini C by sending signals
to a infra-red sensor.
The IR sensor receives the commands and sends them
to the light source management driver.
For a schematic representation of the shadows
projected from the screens, see the following page.
Screens and accessories with the C suffix
are rectangular in shape and may be
mounted only on the Cut luminaires.
