Introducing the Profile Family of Lights
A Partnership Between Landscape Forms and Award-Winning Lighting Designer Linnaea Tillett
Designed in collaboration with award-winning lighting designer Linnaea Tillett and Tillett Lighting Design Associates, Profile creates beautiful and intentional light emanating from a refined, minimalist design. The family of lights includes an area light, accent light, column light, and performance, wayfinding, and unlit perimeter bollards, making Profile a single lighting family that effectively illuminates an array of spaces, from large, open areas and narrow pathways to landscape beds and building entrances.
“Public and social spaces are being asked to do more and more,” says Linnaea Tillett. “From playgrounds and food courts to performance spaces, such variety calls for landscape architects to think in more modular ways on how to light environments. Profile responds to that modular thinking with an aesthetically and functionally versatile design.”
The Profile family of lights creates beautiful and intentional light emanating from a refined, minimalist design.
A number of options for the area, accent, and column lights provide a canvas on which to create beautiful and exacting lighting schemes. The area, accent, and column lights are offered in four heights and four color temperatures. The area light has three distributions, two outputs, and a clear and diffused lens; accent light has a standard output and diffused lens; and the column light has a standard output and clear lens.
A 10-foot-tall base unit, two-foot-tall add-on sections, and foot lights further tailor the lights’ performance and aesthetic. Three bollards, including an unlit option, define boundaries and subtly light paths and landscaping. All lights are offered in a full color palette finished with Landscape Forms’ proprietary Pangard II® HAPS, VOC, and lead-free polyester powdercoat.
“In designing Profile, we weren’t just thinking about a luminaire; we were thinking about new and interesting ways to light spaces with a beautiful object,” says Lighting President Jordan Agustin. The luminaire employs architectural lighting techniques often featured in interior living spaces. Profile brings these techniques to the outdoor public realm with an altogether different experience for a light to create warm, welcoming environments.”
“Light should not be a distracting element,” shares Tillett. “It should fit comfortably into the environment during the day and facilitate the use of the space at night.”

Make every light count. This was a lesson Linnaea Tillett learned when she was completing her thesis for a PhD in Environmental Psychology. A long-time volunteer in NYC, Tillett was struck by the fact that the lighting in underserved communities was more like something you’d see in high-security areas, not in a livable community.
