Lucent Lighting is thrilled to announce that its innovative product, Oculus, has been awarded both Gold and Green accolades in the Build Back Better Awards 2024. This recognition highlights Lucent’s commitment to unrivalled quality, high-performance lighting, and sustainability practices in line with their carbon-neutral objectives.
Oculus, Lucent Lighting’s latest recessed Eyeball downlight, delivers outstanding lighting performance and design flexibility while aligning with the company’s dedication to circular economy principles. The Build Back Better Gold Award celebrates Oculus for its advanced technological innovation and contribution to enhancing the modern built environment, while the Green Award recognises its impressive sustainability credentials, including the use of recycled materials, modular design for extended lifespan, and energy efficiency.
Lucent Lighting designed the Oculus luminaire with high-end applications in mind, including hotel lobbies and luxury retail spaces. The product offers full adjustability and 360-degree rotation, providing customisable lighting solutions for any space. Oculus also boasts a range of beam options such as SuperSpot, High Efficacy, and WarmDim, ensuring bespoke ambient lighting that adapts to the unique requirements of each project. Utilising Lucent’s LED51 Quantum HE source it has a choice of 3 colour temperatures and 4 beam options. Designed to run at 200mA it is also fully dimmable with an appropriate driver.
Oculus is available in a variety of trim and trimless mounting options, seamlessly integrating into any ceiling surface, from plaster to wood and stone. A selection of finishes, including custom RAL painted options, brushed antique brass and bronze, and polished chrome, allows for complete aesthetic customisation to match the most sophisticated design schemes. Oculus also stands out for its practicality and ease of use. It features toolless installation, focusing and maintenance, saving time and effort for installers. Additionally, its high IP rating ensures durability in challenging environments such as kitchens and bathrooms, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
Evolved from the well-loved Micro 40, the Oculus has 89% recycled materials underscoring a commitment to sustainability. The modular design supports easy repairs and upgrades, guaranteeing a lifespan of at least 20 years. With the launch of Oculus, Lucent continues to set benchmarks that have contributed to the 35-year legacy of the company. The Oculus downlight perfectly demonstrates transparency and accountability in environmental practices and is a commitment to providing the best products possible.
