LP Capsule® Efficient illumination in elegant design

Pleasant and atmospheric illumination for parks, pathways and open spaces When architects, local authorities and electricians all over the world choose lighting for urban spaces, there are many different requirements and expectations to be met. The lights must provide a sense of security, be robust and have the right aesthetic expression. At the same time, they must to an increasing extent meet the desire for efficient and direct lighting that exploits the LED light source’s full potential. Over the years, Louis Poulsen has created numerous outdoor lighting solutions. We are now proud to present...

At Louis Poulsen we shape light. We strive to create an atmosphere where you feel comfortable and relaxed. Every single surface and curve has been shaped to create precisely the right atmosphere LP Capsule is the result of this design philosophy. The streetlight is not just a luminaire that casts light on a square or path - it also illuminates itself, making it an attractive and recognisable element that contributes to the overall aesthetics of the urban space both when switched off and when illuminated. By illuminating the fixture head, the light also has a ‘lighthouse effect’, helping people...

LP Capsule has been developed in collaboration with Henning Larsen Architects, one of the world’s most respected firms of architects, and which has won numerous awards worldwide for its projects. The architect Carsten Fischer from Henning Larsen Architects conceived for the initial design. Carsten Fischer has spearheaded projects all over the world, and his primary interest lies in the field between architecture and industrial design. Carsten Fischer says: “As an architect, my task is to identify the inherent story of a thing or a building and add further detail so that the design ultimately acquires...

Carefully conceived in every detail LP Capsule is characterised by a high degree of integration between the design elements. The fixture elegantly encircles the post for a more coherent solution. Viewed from above, the light consists of two circles – a large round lamp and a smaller round post where the tangents connect the two circles to form a simple geometric harmonious look. The basic idea was to create a cylindrical capsule, with the light source inside a single cylinder, which is in turn inside a larger opal cylinder. This is the source of the direct downward light, but by creating distance...
