Ashbery is a trio of lights that bring together advanced LED technology and optics with an homage to traditional-style luminaires that have a special place in the American design lexicon. While preserving the aesthetic character of American towns and cities, Ashbery also considers other important factors in enhancing the life and vitality of the sites it illuminates.

The family of lights is International Dark-Sky Approved, minimizing glare while reducing light trespass and skyglow, and is Buy America Compliant, supporting local economies through American manufacturing and the domestic procurement of materials. In addition, the wall mount and path light fixtures are full cutoff compliant.

Full cutoff means that it is dark sky, all light is down, and comply with the glare requirement between 80° and 90°. Ashbery’s range of form factors and performance options helps bring more life and usability to outdoor spaces, creating the welcoming, comprehensive lighting programs that encourage people to experience the outdoors more often in daily life.

The design of each Ashbery luminaire is tailored to its specific role in the landscape: Path lights parallel footpaths and support pedestrian spaces for safety and extended use. Wall-mounted lights offer soft and welcoming illumination adjacent to buildings and façades.

Ranging from a gentle, symmetric blanket of light for intimate pedestrian settings, to precise and directional illumination along streetscapes, sidewalks and transitional spaces, area lights’ different outputs, distributions, and optics adapt performance and ambiance for a superb visual experience.

On area and wall-mounted lights, a separate LED element mounted in the fixture below the clear or diffused lens subtly recalls gas lamps or early filament bulbs, evoking an emotive moment that enhances experience and the sense of place.
