Inspired by Simes

Operating since 1973, SIMES specializes in the production of outdoor lighting fixtures. The company's mission is to illuminate architecture and landscape, as the slogan "light for architecture" suggests. Over time, SIMES has become an industry leader, recognized today for its high-quality products, rigorously manufactured in Italy. All phases of the manufacturing process - from die casting and molding to wiring and final testing - unfold in the company's factories. SIMES also pays particular attention to the environment with the aim of creating ecological lighting solutions and implementing sustainable production processes. The SIMES catalog contains countless proposals for architectural lighting, many of which have been used in such prestigious projects as the rebuilt Alfa Romeo industrial complex designed by Michele De Lucchi and the National Aquarium in Denmark. The SIMES range includes step markers, linear lighting profiles, outdoor projectors and outdoor ceiling lamps.

SIMES solutions for architectural lighting SIMES symbolic products are undoubtedly included in the inground collection around which the company's history revolves . The new ZIP COMFORT inground outdoor marker is the brand's flagship product, thanks to improved optics, dozens of possible combinations and increased efficiency and beam efficiency. Tilt optics can direct the light beam to create the desired effects on the illuminated surface, while COMFORT OPTICALS helps reduce glare from direct light. Among the products from the inground category, the Ghost concrete LED marker, designed by Marc Sadler, stands out. The intention of the designer was to create luminous recesses in the material itself to hide the lighting body. The Ghost Liner version received an award in the Compasso d'Oro 2018 competition and the coveted Best of the Best award at the Red Dot Award in Essen.
SIMES designers developed a special radial "light blade" optics that create a linear, variable and adjustable beam lights. Two gems of design and technology, the adaptable outdoor LED spotlights, MICROSTAGE and MICROKEEN, will mount this system and project beams of light onto any surface from different angles. These micro-frames have the advantage of reducing or even canceling out influences, giving the designer maximum freedom of expression. In addition to orienting the light beam, these innovative projectors can be modulated to define the start and end points. The LED strips illuminate dramatically, emphasizing the vertical or horizontal lines of the building. The continuous beams proposed by SIMES, both in the surface-mounted and recessed versions, use COMFORT OPTICALS to reduce glare; light can be modulated thanks to remotely dimmable ballasts. Outdoor spotlights, wall lamps and submersible lamps complete the catalog .

SIMES proposals for street furniture and green areas In addition to architectural lighting, SIMES produces several products for street equipment and outdoor lighting. The range of poles, street lamps and garden lamps is characterized by rigor and aesthetic cleanliness to fit discreetly into any urban context. One of the hallmarks is the CIGARETTE street lamp with an elementary cylindrical shape, as the name suggests. The aluminum base and polycarbonate diffuser are available in different lengths for many variations. Collections of LED light poles illuminate green areas. COOL has a void volume that diffuses indirect light. LOOK WOOD includes lighting poles and outdoor LED wall lights made of wood, glass and aluminum. Also ideal for private homes, this collection - with a minimalist design and a natural atmosphere - was created as a result of a partnership between SIMES and the architect Matteo Thun.

LED technology and high-quality materials for SIMES lamps In addition to materials, SIMES from has relied on LED technology for many years. Thanks to this choice, the company now offers a wide range of luminaires that combine attractive design and high-quality materials with high efficiency. SIMES's R&D department addressed the issue of temperature - the decisive factor in the performance of LEDs - by developing increasingly advanced technologies for dimming, white point adjustment and color mixing. The SIMES photometric laboratories also focused on the quality of light from the point of view of comfort and well-being with the development of the OTTICHE COMFORT glare-reducing system. Maximum attention was also paid to materials and finishes. All SIMES products undergo a double coating process, thanks to which the surfaces are extremely resistant to corrosion, UV rays and weathering.
