Description
The Gloster Ambient Sol is a sculptural outdoor lighting piece by Henrik Pedersen, combining a Meteor colour powder coated aluminium frame with a Wheat colour woven all-weather wicker canopy and an integrated rechargeable LED light unit. Measuring 220cm in diameter and 231cm high, Ambient Sol brings shade-like presence and atmospheric illumination together in one statement outdoor design.
Key Features
- Statement outdoor lighting design: Ambient Sol combines the visual language of a freestanding parasol with integrated lighting, creating a dramatic focal point for terraces, garden lounges and hospitality settings.
- Meteor frame with Wheat wicker canopy: The design pairs a Meteor colour powder coated aluminium frame with a Wheat colour woven all-weather wicker canopy for a warm, architectural look.
- Rechargeable LED light unit: Ambient Sol uses a mains-power rechargeable LED light unit with 64 LEDs, 2700K colour temperature and light output from 512 to 1280 lumens.
- Remote-controlled light settings: A radio frequency remote control operates the light with 8 output settings and a working distance of up to 35m.
- Long cordless run time: Battery life is approximately 8–10 hours on the maximum light setting.
- Two installation formats: Ambient Sol is available as either a freestanding version or a ground-fixed version, allowing it to suit both flexible and permanent installations.
Frame & canopy finish
Ambient Sol is shown here in Meteor powder coated aluminium with Wheat woven all-weather wicker.
The combination of dark Meteor aluminium and Wheat wicker gives Ambient Sol a soft, lantern-like character while keeping the structure clean and contemporary.
Installation options
Freestanding version
Ambient Sol - Freestanding: The freestanding version is the movable installation option and has a listed weight of 82kg. It can be specified with the optional Freestanding 50kg Extra Base Weight for additional ballast where greater stability is preferred.
Optional freestanding accessory: The 50kg Extra Base Weight is an available accessory rather than a required installation component.
Ground fixed version
Ambient Sol - Ground Fixed: The ground-fixed version is for permanent installation and is offered with either a Concrete Fitting Kit or an Inground Fitting Kit. These two kits are alternatives, so only one is selected depending on the installation method.
Choose one fixing kit: Concrete Fitting Kit is for fixing to a suitable hard base, while Inground Fitting Kit is for embedded installation into the ground. Ground-fixed Ambient Sol should therefore be sold with one of these two fitting choices.
Lighting & accessories
LED lighting performance
Integrated lighting: Ambient Sol includes a mains-power rechargeable LED light unit with 64 LEDs, warm 2700K colour temperature, Li-Ion battery and IP64 rating for outdoor use.

Accessory options: Gloster lists the following accessories for Ambient Sol: Freestanding 50kg Extra Base Weight, Concrete Fitting Kit, Inground Fitting Kit, Additional LED Light Unit and Spare Remote Control.
Recommended setup logic: Freestanding customers can add the optional extra base weight, while ground-fixed customers should choose one fitting kit; Additional LED Light Unit and Spare Remote Control are optional extras for either installation type.
Materials & care
Powder coated aluminium
Durable coated frame: Powder coated aluminium is designed for outdoor use and should be cleaned gently with water and mild liquid detergent using a microfibre cloth or sponge. Abrasive cleaners, steel wool and Scotchbrite should be avoided.
Wicker canopy
All-weather wicker: Wicker is resistant to outdoor conditions and can be cleaned with a mild detergent solution and a soft bristle brush before rinsing with cold water. Residual foam should be removed so it does not attract dirt between the weave.
Warranty
Gloster states that its outdoor products are warranted to the original purchaser against defects in materials and workmanship under normal intended use, subject to proper care and maintenance. The linked warranty document provides the full terms and exclusions for Europe and ROW.
