Outdoor lighting is more than illumination—it’s a strategic design element that enhances safety, aesthetics, usability, and value. In Sri Lanka’s unique environment—where tropical weather, cultural events, and diverse architecture coexist—intelligent outdoor lighting design is essential.
At Onco Solutions, we design and implement weatherproof, energy-efficient, and application-specific outdoor lighting solutions for residential, commercial, and public spaces across the country.
Why Outdoor Lighting Matters in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka’s vibrant outdoor culture—from evening family gatherings to late-night business hours—demands lighting systems that are:
- Resilient to monsoons, heat, and humidity
- Effective for security and safety
- Visually appealing for landscapes and architecture
- Energy-efficient in a high-cost electricity market
Proper planning ensures your lighting adds value without inflating your utility bills.
Key Outdoor Lighting Concepts
Understanding lighting layers and techniques is critical to a successful outdoor plan:
Ambient Lighting
- Provides overall illumination for outdoor spaces
- Ideal for gardens, patios, and terraces
- Uses bollards, post lights, or low-power floodlights
Accent Lighting
- Highlights trees, sculptures, or architectural elements
- Achieved with spotlights, uplights, and wall washers
- Adds elegance and depth to outdoor designs
Task Lighting
- For functional areas: BBQ pits, seating, walkways
- Ensures usability after dark
- Requires focused, glare-free placement
Security & Safety Lighting
- Motion sensor floodlights and perimeter lighting
- Deterrent for intruders
- Essential for commercial spaces and gated residences
Popular Outdoor Lighting Use Cases in Sri Lanka

Public Parks & Walkways
- Low-glare fixtures for pedestrian comfort
- Solar-powered lighting to reduce costs
- Focus on safety, vandal-resistance, and eco-friendliness
Designing Outdoor Lighting with Purpose
Our approach ensures each project is tailored to its environment:
- Site survey and daylight analysis
- Lumen calculations and beam spread mapping
- Fixture selection based on durability and IP ratings
- Color temperature choices to match mood (warm for gardens, neutral for commercial)
- Control systems (smart switches, timers, sensors, BMS integrations)
Why LED is the Best Choice for Outdoor Lighting
Sri Lanka’s high humidity and electricity costs make LED lighting the ideal solution:
- 70–80% more energy efficient than traditional options
- Long lifespan even in humid coastal or hill zone conditions
- Low maintenance with fewer replacements
- Supports solar and battery backup systems easily
- Instant-on with no flicker or warm-up time
Weather Resistance: A Must in Sri Lanka
We only install lighting systems that meet or exceed IP65 or higher standards for outdoor use:
- Resistant to rain, salt air, heat, and dust
- Rugged construction for wind and impact tolerance
- Corrosion-resistant materials for coastal areas
Smart Outdoor Lighting for the Future
Outdoor lighting isn’t just about looks—it’s about intelligence:
- Motion sensors to save energy and improve security
- Timers and smart controls for automated on/off schedules
- Solar integration for sustainable lighting
- Dimming zones for mood and power control
- Remote access via mobile or cloud-based apps
