Transform Your Outdoors: The Catirpel Lighting System That Evolves With Your Landscape

When it comes to lighting, we often focus on the indoor spaces of our homes and buildings. However, there's an entire world of outdoor lighting solutions that bring our surroundings to life.

Let’s talk landscape lighting! This is a specialized form of outdoor illumination designed to highlight gardens, lawns, trees, and certain pathways. Landscape lighting does more than just beautify - it enhances safety, increases accessibility, and extends the enjoyment of outdoor spaces long after sunset.

Modern landscapes are developing to be more intricate, featuring a mix of terrain and architectural elements, flexible and adaptable lighting systems are becoming essential. These systems often need to serve multiple functions, adjust to various surfaces, and adapt to regular maintenance and design changes.

Luckily, Targetti has developed the perfect solution. Let’s explore!

TARGETTI AT ITS CORE

Targetti is an international pioneer in innovative lighting design. Starting out in Florence, Italy in 1928, the company has spent nearly a century perfecting and exporting their exceptional fixtures.

Despite their long history, Targetti remains driven by curiosity and creativity in their experimentation with light. They believe that light is the element we work and play with every day, paying meticulous attention to every detail.

TRANSFORM YOUR LANDSCAPE WITH CATIRPEL

The one-of-a-kind Catirpel Lighting System is a modular, flexible outdoor lighting system designed for versatility and precision!

If you’re thinking “Hey, that kind of sounds like ‘caterpillar,’” you’re absolutely right.

Designed in collaboration with the renowned lighting design firm L’Observatoire International, Catirpel can crawl over all types of surfaces: curved, non-planar, uneven, you name it!

Hervé Descottes, founder of L’Observatoire International, describes it best: “Catirpel morphs into the form of a caterpillar in a tree, our fixtures weave into the surroundings, casting an enchanting spell of versatility.”

KEY FEATURES OF CATIRPEL

Modular Projector System: Choose from single, three-projector, or five-projector configurations.

Optics Options: Narrow Spot, Spot, Flood, Medium Wide Flood, and Grazing optics to suit every design need.

Customization: Adjust beam angles (7° to 48°) and color temperatures (2400K, 2700K, 3000K, 4000K).

Finishes: Available in Black Anodized or Ferrite finishes.

ADAPTABLE AND FLEXIBLE BY DESIGN

One of Catirpel’s most innovative features is its adjustable spherical joint. The joint links the light units, allowing multiple modules to curve and form circular shapes. This ultimately enables seamless conformity to whatever surface they’re installed on, whether it be trees, monuments, columns, or architectural elements.

For even greater adaptability, a spacer accessory can be used to increase the curvature of the modules. This allows the projectors to be aimed individually (+/- 100°), giving you complete control over your lighting design.

ENDLESS EFFECTS AND AESTHETIC ACHIEVEMENTS

Projection: Catirpel projectors can be easily installed on the ground with a practical earth spike, allowing them to illuminate elements from below.

Downlighting: Tree branches can serve as mounting bases to anchor the modules, using special belt straps to aim the illumination at a desired area.

Uplighting: You can also highlight the uppermost portions of foliage, effortlessly accessing spots that are typically out of reach with traditional ground-based illumination.

Grazing: By choosing Grazing optics, you can make the entire length of an area appear radiant with a mesmerizing effect.

Moonlighting: Specifically in trees, you can install Catirpel on the highest branches and angle it downwards to create light and shade effects through the branches and leaves.

Whether you’re illuminating trees, highlighting architectural structures, beautifying urban parks, or enhancing a general landscape, Catirpel by Targetti is an ideal solution when it comes to installation and versatility in landscape lighting projects.

Targetti continues to dedicate their operations towards cutting-edge, customizable lighting solutions for all outdoor environments.
