Engineering overview
Where it fits
Long residential boundary run (150+ m)
Estate-scale perimeter where post sizing, foundation logic and driver zoning matter more than panel choice. Modulo lets the architect specify 80 mm posts at 1800 mm tall on 500 mm concrete pads at 2.0 m centres, then mix Lineo and Trama infills along the run for visual rhythm without changing the structural system.
A single 200 W driver feeds two lighting zones with a Zigbee astronomical timer; one Modulo specification carries the entire 150 m run.
Coastal site upgrade (frost + salt)
Cliff-top or seafront projects where wind load, salt corrosion and thermal cycling all attack the post-to-foundation interface. The 100 mm post in 6063-T5 with marine-grade powder coat, set into a 700 mm frost-zone concrete foundation with stainless M12 anchors, is the specified detail.
IP68 cap LEDs and sealed driver enclosure survive direct sea-spray exposure; specification meets DIN EN 1997 frost-zone requirements.
Smart-home lit boundary
Residential project where the fence lighting must integrate with whole-home automation. Modulo Light driver speaks Zigbee and Matter, so cap LEDs, linear strips and backlit panels appear as native devices in Apple Home, Google Home or a KNX gateway.
Sunset triggers, presence-based scenes and holiday-mode randomisation are configured by the homeowner without a service call.
Mixed-series fence run (Lineo + Cristallo + Inciso same posts)
Architectural project where the boundary changes language as it passes the entrance, the garden and the pool: opaque Lineo at the street, transparent Cristallo at the garden view, decorative Inciso at the pool screen. Modulo posts and caps are identical across all three.
Only the infill bracket and panel change; visual variety with one platform and one specification line.
Retrofit / upgrade existing boundary lighting
Existing VisioMod or compatible aluminium fence where the client wants to add lighting after the fact. Modulo Light cap LEDs swap into existing post heads, linear strips clip between slats with through-post cable routing, and a single driver in the gate cabinet powers the whole run.
No demolition, no new foundation; retrofit completes in a single afternoon commissioning visit.
How it compares
Site-fabricated steel posts + improvised lighting▾
Pros
- +Lowest material cost
- +Fully bespoke to site geometry
Cons
- −Demands on-site galvanising or paint
- −Tolerance well below extruded aluminium
- −Lighting becomes a separate supplier with its own warranty
Why VisioMod
Welded steel posts demand on-site galvanising or paint, never achieve a 6063-T5 extrusion's tolerance, and clip-on LED strips add a second supplier, a second warranty and a second failure mode. Modulo replaces all three with one specification, one CE-marked driver and one 5-year warranty.
Generic aluminium fence post kits (no LED integration)▾
Pros
- +Lower per-post cost
- +Wide compatibility with generic infills
Cons
- −No pre-machined cable channels
- −Third-party luminaires bolted onto post head
- −Surface conduit visible along the run
Why VisioMod
Commodity post kits cover the structural job but force the architect to bolt third-party luminaires onto the post head, route cable in surface conduit and accept a visible mismatch in finishes. Modulo's pre-machined cable channels and integrated cap LEDs present as one design intention.
Standalone solar fence lights (no system integration)▾
Pros
- +No wiring required
- +Simple specification
Cons
- −Degrade within 18-24 months under shading
- −Cannot be dimmed
- −Inconsistent output across long runs
Why VisioMod
Solar caps look attractive in showroom photos but degrade within 18-24 months under real shading and battery cycling, cannot be dimmed, and produce inconsistent output across a long run. Modulo Light's wired 24 V DC platform delivers identical output at every cap.
Reading on the facade
Post section is selected from the wind-load and height matrix, not the design palette: 60 mm for sheltered runs to 1400 mm, 80 mm as the residential standard to 1800 mm, 100 mm for 2200 mm and exposed coastal or alpine zones. The platform's true value to an architect is that one Modulo specification covers all seven VisioMod design lines, so the boundary can change visual language at the entry, garden and pool without changing structural engineering, foundation detail or fixing schedule. Modulo Light layers an architectural lighting grammar onto the same skeleton: cap LEDs establish a punctuating rhythm along the run at dusk, linear strips between Lineo slats produce a horizontal grazing wash that animates the louvre depth, and backlit panels behind Sereno or Inciso infills turn discrete sections into glowing lanterns that mark gates, corners or address points. Control flows from a single 24 V DC driver to RF, wall dimmer or a Zigbee/Matter bridge, so the fence joins the home's lighting scenes alongside facade and landscape circuits.
Foundation & site notes
The 60 mm post anchors with four M12 chemical bolts into a minimum 150 mm reinforced slab — suitable for terraces and existing concrete aprons. The 80 mm post is concrete-set 500 mm deep into a 300 × 300 mm pad, the project standard for residential perimeters. The 100 mm post requires a 700 mm deep, 400 × 400 mm pad designed to DIN EN 1997 for frost-zone or exposed-coastal sites. Cable conduit (20 mm) is pre-routed through the foundation and up the post interior before backfill, so Modulo Light wiring is concealed end-to-end. The 24 V DC driver is sited inside the technical cabinet at the gate end of the run, with voltage drop calculated for runs over 30 m. The Zigbee/Matter bridge pairs from the same cabinet. Each post bracket carries ±10 mm vertical and ±5° rotational adjustment to absorb foundation tolerance.
Care schedule
| Frequency | Task | Duration | Tools |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual | Visual inspection of all post anchors, M12 bolt torque check on slab-mounted 60 mm posts, base-of-post drainage clearance | ||
| Annual | Modulo Light driver inspection — log hours, check enclosure seal, verify earth continuity, confirm the unit is within its 5-year warranty window | ||
| Every 2 years | Cap LED and linear strip lumen check; replace any unit with visible degradation under the lifetime warranty | ||
| Every 5 years | Planned LED driver replacement at end of warranty term, even if still functional, to maintain reliability across the system | ||
| Every 12-18 months | RF remote and wall dimmer battery replacement (CR2032 / AAA depending on model) | ||
| Annual | Smart-home firmware update — Zigbee/Matter bridge, scene re-test, controller pairing audit | ||
| Every 3 years | Powder coat inspection on coastal installations; touch-up any salt-blistered areas with manufacturer-supplied paint |
