The designer's voice
The Catirpel morphs into the form of a caterpillar in a tree, our fixtures weave into the surroundings, casting an enchanting spell of versatility.

Versatile and flexible.
It wraps sinuously around every surface.
Designed in collaboration with L’Observatoire International.
It adapts naturally to curved surfaces.
Designed in collaboration with the lighting design firm L’Observatoire International, Catirpel is a modular projector system for outdoor lighting designed for all projects that require greater installation flexibility and accurate beam aim control.

Designed to adapt perfectly in environments where the support surface is curved, non-planar or uneven, it is the ideal solution to light architecture and landscapes.

Design
The single module is a single projector combined with a spherical joint that allows for maximum installation freedom and movement.
System modules
Catirpel is available in light modules with just one projector (1x) or multiple modules with three (3) or five (5x) projectors.

Adjustability
The spherical joint that connects the light units together makes it possible to curve multiple modules to obtain circular shapes to perfectly follow the features and peculiarities of the surface they are installed on such as trees, monuments, columns and architecture.

The spacer supplied as an accessory makes Catirpel even more flexible. Moving the light modules away from the installation surface makes it possible to increase the curvature of the modules and to aim each projector individually (+/-110°).
Colours in harmony with nature
Catirpel is available in four different finishes, all specially designed to integrate perfectly with nature and architecture.

Lighting effects
It is possible to choose from four different beam openings from Narrow Spot (7°) to MWFL (48°) and a Grazing optic which is ideal to highlight details and materials with grazing lighting.
Comfortable light
Catirpel is also available in a version with an integrated Honeycomb grid for maximum visual comfort.
Landscape lighting
CardImg

Projection

Catirpel projectors can be installed on the ground using the practical earth spike to light hedges and trees from below

CardImg

Downlighting

Tree branches become mounting supports to anchor lighting modules to using special belt straps to direct the light beam exactly where it is needed

CardImg

Uplighting

With Catirpel it is also possible to light the upper part of the highest foliage easily reaching areas that are impossible to reach with classic lighting from below.

CardImg

Grazing

Catirpel projectors with Grazing optics illuminate the entire length of tree trunks by highlighting the texture for a scenographic effect.

CardImg

Moonlighting

Installed on the highest branches pointing downwards the grazing versions create light and shade effects on the leaves and branches.

Architectural lighting
CardImg

Catirpel embraces architecture following every type of surface with extreme flexibility. The Grazing optic allows for uniform grazing lighting, ideal for highlighting texture and materials on facades, porticos, vaulted rooves and all vertical surfaces.

CardImg

Catirpel provides the possibility to install projectors on all surfaces and to direct beams exactly where the project requires them for soft and diffused lighting, to highlight architectural details, indicate pedestrian paths or to create accents of light.
