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.

landscape 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.

  • 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)

bolt 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
