The Oak tree is a unique outdoor lighting design crafted for a special purpose holding a deeper symbolic meaning. Inspired by the resilience of the oak tree, these are created to pay homage to the tradition of the Old Jewish Cemetery.

Within Jewish culture, the act of planting trees in memory of departed loved ones holds a deep significance. The Oak Tree streetlights reflect this sentiment, symbolising remembrance and respect.

Each lamppost has five metal leaves and houses two IP66 LED light sources. Two of the bigger leaves double as a reflector for the integrated light sources.

Standing tall at approximately 5 meters, the lamppost is constructed from galvanised and powder-coated steel, mimicking the esteemed appearance of COR-TEN steel. The lower leaf sections are painted in signal white (RAL 9003), ensuring optimal light reflection.

The LED driver is located within the post for easy accessibility and maintenance purposes. Additionally, the outdoor luminaires are equipped with Zhaga adapters for connectivity.
