Introducing Pro Cycle
Lucent Lighting Ltd
A professional Architectural Lighting company with 30 years experience and offices in London and New York.
“Design in a linear economic model has been successful in providing affordable products on a mass scale. But the designed outputs of this extractive, wasteful, and polluting economy are also the underlying cause of climate change and biodiversity loss. In this material- and energy-intensive economic system, most of the goods bought for consumption are not returned for any further use, representing a huge economic loss which amounts to hundreds of billions of dollars.”?Ellen Macarthur Foundation
Drive for sustainability
Lucent Lighting have been working on our sustainability practices over the past 4 years. We began with analysis of all our packaging; moving away from white boxes to brown boxes, using recyclable inks, brown packing paper and compostable bags instead of plastics.??In 2021 we gained our ISO:14001 certification, and in the same year Lucent Lighting became a carbon neutral business.?
We know that the world’s natural resources are being depleted at an alarming rate. One of the most effective ways of reducing this impact is reusing and incorporating recycled materials in to the design and manufacture of products.
Modularity
80% of Lucent’s product ranges are modular, allowing for interchangeability and upgrade. We have already been committed to this over the past 5 years eg: halogen or MH to LED.?In practice, LED modules will last much longer than they are currently being used. In addition, the body of the fixtures will extend far beyond this time.
We have now committed that all new Lucent products are to be designed in a modular way. This will allow for interchangeability across all product families. We are also revisiting current lines to ensure this modularity is across 100% of the range. ?

Lucent ProCycle
Lucent Lightings luminaires are designed to outlast the LEDs. In practice, over the last 20 years of the linear economy model we have all been living in, fixtures are still being used for a relatively short period of time and then either thrown away or recycled.?Whilst the recycling element is an improvement, it isn’t enough to halt climate change on its own. ?
With this in mind, Lucent are pleased to announce Lucent ProCycle.
