The womenswear brand Lululemon is using 3D-printed and bio plastic spotlights at its Regent Street flagship in London.
It has chosen the Raider Bio from UK brand Shoplight, which is believed to be the industry’s first 3D-printed, bio polymer recessed spotlight.
It is 3D printed as a single part and, says the company, requires less time and effort to disassemble, recycle and repurpose at the end of its life.
The Raider Bio features a Precision Aiming System which offers 350 degrees of rotation and 60 degrees of articulation which can be adjusted in 5-degree increments. As with sister product the Colt Bio, Raider Bio can cover any existing hole size up to 300mm diameter without secondary plates or rings.
The spotlight has up to 27W of power delivering over 4,000 lumens. Options include four different beam angle reflectors, four standard col
ours, and fixed, DALI, phase-cut and Casambi control.
The Raider Bio qualifies for Shoplight’s Circu-light buy-back scheme and it also comes with a five-year parts and labour warranty. Its modular design means it is fully upgradeable, factors helping to ensure its longevity and reliability.
In 2023 the company introduced the ground breaking Colt Bio, a downlight that’s been printed from plant-based polymers. Its housing is made from Greentech Pro, a material with excellent flexural strength and little warping, as well as a high-quality surface. It’s food-safe and biodegradable to the European standard DIN EN ISO 14855.
Digital printing means the outer bezel on the downlight can be manufactured to any size up to 300mm diameter, making it suitable for replacing existing, larger downlights..
Shoplight also has a remanufacturing service for retailers and hospitality customers, dubbed Recycle. The company removes the luminaires from the store onsite and replaces them with temporary loaned replacements. It then upgrades the LED module and drivers and returns the upgraded light to the store.
