Lucent Lighting Acquires Technical Assembly

Lucent Technilux 800

U.K.-based architectural lighting manufacturer Lucent Lighting has acquired Technical Assembly, a U.K.-based lighting assembly business that will now be known as Technilux. The move strengthens Lucent’s U.K. manufacturing and final assembly capabilities, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to British engineering, quality, and supply resilience. Lucent Lighting also has a North American facility in New York, where products are assembled, warehoused, and shipped from.

The acquisition brings Technical Assembly’s experienced team, technical expertise, and established facilities into the Lucent Lighting group, enabling greater control over final assemblage, testing, and quality assurance processes within the United Kingdom. This enhanced capability will support Lucent’s growing project portfolio across commercial, residential, and hospitality sectors.

By expanding its U.K. operations, Lucent Lighting will be able to offer increased flexibility, shorter lead times, and greater responsiveness to bespoke project requirements, while maintaining the high standards of performance and design for which the brand is known.

This expanded capability will deliver tangible benefits for clients and specifiers across multiple sectors – including retail, offices, hospitality, public spaces, and high-end architectural projects – where customization and consistent product quality are critical.

According to a statement from Lucent Lighting, the “enhanced U.K. configuring and testing capacity enables closer collaboration with lighting designers, architects, engineers, and contractors, supporting faster design iterations, project-specific modifications, and tighter quality control at the delivery stage.”

The increased U.K. assembly capacity will also play a key role in supporting and enhancing Lucent Lighting’s ProCycle scheme, the company’s circular approach to extending product life through refurbishment, upgrade, and re-use. Bringing more final assembly and technical processes in-house will allow the manufacturer to more efficiently assess, rework, and reintroduce luminaires back into use, helping customers reduce waste and improve the sustainability of their lighting installations.

“This acquisition is an important step in strengthening our U.K. manufacturing footprint,” said Lucie Sidwell, Global Operations Director at Lucent Lighting. “Bringing Technical Assembly into the Lucent Lighting group allows us to increase capacity, improve agility, and further invest in UK skills and expertise. It also enables us to expand our ProCycle scheme, supporting a more circular and responsible approach to lighting.”
