Noctule
Planting washer
All the light where you want it. None where you don't.
The light, its use and its story
Machined from solid brass and built to spend its life outdoors, the Noctule sends its light exactly where it belongs - downward. Nothing is thrown up into the night sky, and there's no wasteful spill to disturb the wildlife that shares your landscape after dark. Just a clean, even wash of light across the ground.
Its wide 90-degree output makes it ideal for washing pathways and softscapes, laying down a soft, continuous pool of light rather than harsh hotspots. It works just as well on steps and level changes, where gentle wayfinding matters more than brightness. The solid brass arrives pre-patinated, so it settles into the planting from day one - no waiting for it to weather in, and no bright new fixture standing out against an established yard.
The noctule is Britain's largest bat - out early, flying high and open above the treeline. A fitting name for our brightest fixture.
Every Hudson fixture takes its name from the British landscape after dark - its creatures, its plants, and the old country words for dusk.
Placement & specifications
Planting beds, borders and low landscape texture.
Placement advice
Keep the fitting close to the planting you want to reveal. Aim and space the lights to create gentle pools rather than blanket coverage.
Avoid spill beyond the planting bed. Retain dark connections through the landscape.
