A covered alfresco at dusk behind a white brick Australian home: a spotted gum deck with an outdoor kitchen and barbecue, a built-in bench seat and a timber table, two black Vermeer wall lights washing light up and down the brick either side of the open sliders, straight lines of warm Hyperion 10 neon under the bench and the deck edge, and Marey spotlights uplighting a pale gum and grass trees beside the pool.

The house, the garden, the night.

Wall lights on the house, spotlights in the garden and a line of light under the bench.

At a clear summer dawn, the husband sits on the built-in bench in a towelling robe and slides, smiling over a steaming coffee, as his wife steps out through the slider in swimmers and a robe; the only light is a straight line of warm Hyperion 10 neon under the bench, against a peach and pale blue sky.

05:45 · First light

Coffee before the swim.

The deck in the half-light, a warm Hyperion 10 line under the bench, and the whole day ahead.

Tunable white

Out at dawn. Home by dusk.

Crisp daylight white for an early start, warm amber for a slow evening, from the same wall light on the house.

At 6am, the wife of the house, in running gear, ties her shoe on the built-in bench, a coffee beside her, under a black Vermeer wall light glowing crisp cool white on the white brick.
6500K, cool white
The same alfresco and runner with the Vermeer wall light and the line under the bench now glowing a warm, low amber against a dusk sky.
2700K, warm white

Tunable white adjusts from 6500K to 2700K.

Also available in a fixed 3000K or 4000K.

Leave the day at the back door.

Two children chase bubbles on the lawn at dusk in front of a pale gum, its trunk washed with warm light from a small black Marey spotlight in the mulch at its base, tilted up toward the trunk, with two more Marey spotlights at the foot of the grass trees and the lit house behind.

19:00 · Dusk

The gums come on.

As the sky fades, small Marey spotlights at the foot of the gum and the grass trees switch on, and the garden stays part of the evening.

A native garden at night: a small black Marey spotlight on a ground spike in the mulch uplights the smooth pale trunk of a gum tree, a second one lights a grass tree, with kangaroo paw in front and the warmly lit alfresco out of focus behind.

19:30 · Closer

Bring the garden into the evening.

A small Marey spotlight on a ground spike tilts up to wash the gum and the grass trees. Choose 30°, 45° and 60° beams, in 2700K, 3000K, 4000K.

The wife swims slow lengths of a dark pool at night: two black Vermeer wall lights wash warm golden light up and down the white brick, and a straight line of sunset-amber Hyperion 16 neon under the pool coping, above the waterline, glows across the tiles and reflects in the water.

21:00 · Night swim

Lengths by the light.

Warm light up and down the brick from two Vermeer wall lights, and a line of Hyperion 16 under the coping glowing whatever colour the night calls for.

Night rain beside the pool: two black Vermeer wall lights on a white brick wall throw light up and down through the falling rain, reflected in the wet spotted gum deck and the rain-pitted pool.

IP65

Rain on the deck. Light on the wall.

Sealed for outdoor walls, so the lights by the pool keep shining through a summer storm.

Saturday barbecue on the spotted gum deck: the host turning prawns and sausages at the built-in barbecue, a friend in a mustard dress laughing beside him, his wife and two more friends at the timber table, under black Vermeer wall lights washing light up and down the white brick, with a straight line of warm Hyperion 10 neon under the full length of the kitchen benchtop.

Sat 18:45 · The barbecue

Light for the cook, and the crowd.

A Vermeer wall light either side of the sliders sends light up the brick and down over the deck, and a low line of light runs under the kitchen and the bench.

Saturday dinner by candlelight: six friends around the timber table on the deck, one guest on the built-in bench smiling down at the straight line of warm Hyperion 10 neon under the seat, with a black Vermeer wall light washing the brick behind.

Sat 21:00 · Guests

The light everyone asks about.

It's the line under the bench they notice: one straight, even glow along the seat, with no dots and no gaps.

Late at night, after the guests have gone, the couple share a blanket and a cup of tea on the built-in bench, the only light a straight line of warm Hyperion 10 neon under the seat washing the deck boards.

Sat 23:40 · After everyone’s gone

The right light for a quiet moment together.

The guests are gone and everything else is off. Only a low line of Hyperion 10 glowing under the seat, just enough to linger over the last cup. Sealed to IP67, it lives outdoors all year.

Control

One deck, one system.

Wall lights, garden spotlights and neon can all run on DALI-2, so they dim together and can be set into scenes for the barbecue, dinner and late at night.

How DALI-2 works

The family of four stands on the lawn at dusk, seen from behind, looking back at their finished alfresco: a Vermeer wall light on the brick, straight lines of Hyperion 10 neon under the bench and along the deck edge, and Marey spotlights uplighting the pale gum and grass trees by the pool.

Sunday · The renovation

The best room in the house is outside.

Every light out here is rated for 50,000 hours or more and backed by a 5‑year warranty, so the deck you finished stays the deck you love.
