Oculus Mini by Lucent Lighting

The Oculus Mini downlight from Lucent Lighting has won both a GOLD and GREEN Build Back Better Award in the 2024 lighting category for its sustainability credentials.

The recessed eyeball luminaire achieves a TM66 rating of 2.5 for ‘excellent circularity’ and is manufactured in the UK using 89 per cent recycled materials. 

The modular design supports Lucent’s ProCycle scheme, ensuring the fixture remains in circulation for at least 20 years. 

This platform allows for easy upgrades and repairs to the LED technology, significantly extending the product’s lifespan. 

The modular approach eliminates the need for tools during installation, demounting or maintenance, distinguishing the Oculus Mini from its competitors. 

It boasts a high IP rating, making it suitable for kitchen, bathroom, and fire-rated applications. 

The fixture’s screw-in module design, compatible with Lucent’s legacy downlights, reflects the brand’s dedication to backward compatibility and product longevity. 

This ensures that even the third generation of the LED51 module can be used with minimal adjustments, maintaining a consistent form factor. 

The Oculus Mini features a streamlined structure consisting of a fixture head and an installation frame. This minimalist design ensures seamless adaptability across various applications, including trim versions, plastered-in trim-less, tape and join, and solid ceilings like wood and stone. 

The familiar gimbal design is enhanced by a unique approach where the head sits slightly recessed within the frame, offering a clean, unobtrusive look with a 30-degree adjustment capability. 

By using recycled aluminium, Lucent has created a highly efficient and sustainable product which reduces environmental impact while enhancing durability and longevity. 

The Oculus Mini is aimed at applications in hotel lobbies, retail establishments, and luxury residential spaces. It has fully adjustable positioning and a variety of beam options—including SuperSpot, High Efficacy, and WarmDim.
