- TWISTED TEARS. BREAKING THE RULES - Breaking boundaries once again, we’re excited to announce the launch of our new pendant range - Lacrimosa Pro. LumiAdd’s latest innovation in plant polymer – 3D printed luminaires. Lacrimosa is Latin for “weeping” and relates to the twisted teardrop form, it’s a truly unique design. What makes Lacrimosa truly groundbreaking? It shatters the boundaries of traditional 3D FDM printing with an entirely non-planar print path. Unlike conventional printing, where layers are stacked flat, Lacrimosa’s print head moves continuously across all three axes—creating a seamless, flowing form that’s as bold as it is beautiful. Available with a 340 degree optic that gives the form a strong glow or a narrow beam that creates a pool of light below the pendant and boasts up to 121 luminaire lumens per circuit watt! This range is not simply for decoration, it is a useful lighting tool, with high efficacy and a variety of installation options. Lacrimosa Pro can provide practical light levels that don’t require supplementary lighting. As pioneers of sustainable, plant-polymer-based 3D printed luminaires, LumiAdd continues to redefine what’s possible.

Downlights are made with plant polymers A range of surface and pendant downlights printed from plant polymers has been unveiled by UK firm LumiAdd. The variants are an addition to the Heilis family of 3D printed, plant polymer luminaires. The series blends unique finishes, sustainable materials and flexible installation options. The lights come in 180 RAL colours or wood, stone effect, and natural options made by incorporating reclaimed waste materials. The company says the possibilities for customisation in form, finish and texture are ‘endless’. The LED drivers that can be remote, integral or integrated into the ceiling rose for the pendant versions. LumiAdd says to ensure continuity within a project, the performance of these variants of the Heilis family match that of their recessed counterparts. They feature of high efficiencies of >100llm/cW at Ra90 and a colour temperature of 3000K. A variety of beam angles and colour finishes is available is three body sizes; 65mm, 89mm and 111mm. LumiAdd recently won two prestigious Build Back Better Awards, a Gold and Green, for its Lania track-mounted spotlight, which is partially made from spent coffee grounds.  • Read more: Link in the comments • The Circular Lighting Report is powered by Recolight

Unique finishes. 3D printing our luminaires in plant polymers means we can offer unique finishes which are not possible when using traditional manufacturing methods. Stone effect, real wood, 2 tone colour blends & metalic effects are just a small selection of whats available. Plant polymers combining reclaimed industry waste material to achieve unique natural colours and textures are also available including coffee, chocolate & beer! So not only can you have custom shapes and 180 RAL colours without extra cost or delay, you can also have beautiful, unique & more sustainable finishes! #sustainablematerials #lighting #natural #bespoke

Arup's Scallops & Oysters..... We are proud to have been recently involved in Arup's impressive new Leeds office fit out which included an innovative lighting installation from LumiAdd, embodying both parties’ commitment to the future of sustainable lighting. In addition to the specification of our plant polymer Lania track mounted spotlights, LumiAdd worked closely with the Arup lighting design team to develop a series of bespoke 3D printed pendants. Driven by Arup lighting design teams’ creative vision, the pendant luminaires boast an organic design inspired by the natural world, bringing an element of serene beauty into the workspace. This project was the perfect opportunity for LumiAdd and Arup to showcase the benefits of 3D printing and plant polymers by selecting a unique blend of PLA combined with reclaimed scallop and oyster shells from restaurant waste. This lighting solution not only underscores a dedication to progressing sustainable design, but it adds a unique narrative to the office design; celebrating the re-use of materials which is in keeping with the overarching ethos of the whole project. We would like to say a big thank you to: Dan Lister, Jessie Huang, Maria-Suen Kwok, Elizabeth Cooper, Helen Wright and Rebecca Rogers of Arups. Join us as we illuminate our path to a more sustainable and aesthetically enriched future! #sustainable #lighting #design #circulareconomy

We are delighted to have won 2 awards for our Lania plant polymer & coffee trackspot! Using used coffee grounds combined with polylactic acid (PLA) to create luminaires brings compelling benefits. This innovative blend re-purposes waste, transforming coffee by products into attractive, eco-friendly products. The unique texture and colour derived from coffee grounds 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, reducing fossil fuel use. #sustainablematerials #lightingdesign #coffee

Sustainability doesn’t have to be green! Introducing our expanded range of Heilis surface and pendant downlights, proudly manufactured and assembled in the UK using cutting edge plant polymers. These downlights have a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to traditional luminaires of this type. Together with our buy-back scheme, we believe these are the most sustainable downlights on the market today. Choose from 180 RAL colours with no impact on lead times, or opt for more unusual finishes, including wood, stone effect, and natural options made by incorporating reclaimed waste materials. The possibilities for customisation in form, finish and texture are endless! The range features three sizes, from 65mm to 111mm in diameter, offering narrow, medium, and wide beam angles. Available as surface or track mount, with drivers that can be remote, integral, or integrated into the ceiling rose for pendant versions, the Heilis range combines flexibility, sustainability, and design freedom. #sustainablematerials #bespokelighting #RAL #lightingdesign #architecturallighting

We're delighted to have been nominated in the Build Back Better Awards this year for our Lania track spot entry, made with plant polymers and used coffee grounds! 🤞

We are excited to be teaming up with IndigoZest and to have our 3D printed, plant polymer luminaires now on display in their incredible showroom. IndigoZest will be offering our range of downlights along with our custom Origin pendant range which is printed in fully biodegradable PHA plant polymer. We can't wait to be a part of IndigoZest projects! IndigoZest Smart Home Technology - Home Automation Specialists #sustainablematerials #lightingdesign #interiordesign #lighting

Some of our Heilis89 surface mounted downlights printed from plant polymers ready to ship. More to come on this exciting project! #sustainablematerials #circulareconomy #lightingdesign
