Lania by LumiAdd

The Lania track-mounted spotlight from LumiAdd, partially made from spent coffee grounds, has won both a GOLD and GREEN Build Back Better Award in the 2024 lighting category. 

LumiAdd says the light is arguably the most sustainably made track spot in the world as it’s made in the UK from plant polymers with a low carbon footprint and uses waste coffee grounds to add colour and texture. 

The grounds are combined with polylactic acid (PLA) but retain a unique texture and colour which cater to the aesthetic preferences of environmentally conscious consumers. 

Combining the coffee with plant polymers from renewable sources like sugar cane, enhances the environmental value and reduces fossil fuel use. 

Aside from the sustainable material and use of waste, the Lania trackspot range is versatile and highly efficient. 

It boasts up to 130 luminaire lumens per circuit Watt, a colour rendering of Ra90 and a maximum output of 1600lm delivered. 

It’s available in four different beam angles including an adjustable option. LumiAdd has printed products using other waste streams, including re-claimed oyster and scallop shells, spent grain from beer production and waste from chocolate production. 

LumiAdd uses plant-based polymers to 3D print luminaires. It says that the plant polymers it uses are significantly more sustainable than conventional materials currently used in the lighting industry.

They produce 33 per cent less Co2 emissions than petro-chemical polymers and 97.5 per cent less Co2 emissions than aluminium. 

3D printing on demand results in zero waste. LumiAdd products achieve the highest TM66 (CIBSE Circular Economy Assessment Method for Manufacturing) category of excellent circularity. LumiAdd also offers a buy back scheme to support the return of LumiAdd luminaires at the end of their first use to ensure they can be reused again.
