Austrian company Hei International has won the Product Innovation Award for its solar light columns Lukida at the Urban Design & Landscaping Expo (Udle) in Dubai.

Organised by dmg events as part of The Big 5 construction expo, Udle is the region's premier event for the landscaping, infrastructure and urban development industries.

The award was presented during the Urban Design & Landscaping Summit held under the theme “Promoting greener, healthier and more sustainable built environments with best practices in urban design and landscaping.”

Lukida are a family of aesthetic solar light columns with integrated photovoltaics and luminaire for decorative private or public solar outdoor applications, said a statement from Hei.

The seamless pole integration of solar elements and pole-integrated luminaire offers the freedom to configure highly-efficient LED engines to circular or lengthwise aligned light distribution. Clean lines, smooth mechanical connections and perfect performance strengthen the leading design idea of Lukida Solar Light Column, when aesthetics matters, it stated.

The Austrian firm said mechanical engineers, designers and architects worked together to provide a highly efficient, self-sustaining solar light column, without a compromise on the aesthetics of the product.
