Lucent Lighting, the UK-based architectural lighting manufacturer, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Technical Assembly, a specialist UK lighting assembly business. This strategic move significantly strengthens Lucent’s UK manufacturing and final assembly capabilities, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to British engineering, quality, and supply resilience.
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 UK. This enhanced capability will support Lucent’s growing project portfolio across commercial, residential, and hospitality sectors.

By expanding its UK 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, commercial workplaces, hospitality, public realm, and high-end architectural projects – where programme certainty, customisation, and consistent product quality are critical. Enhanced UK 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 UK 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 Lucent Lighting 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 UK 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.”

The acquisition aligns with Lucent Lighting’s broader growth strategy, supporting continued innovation, sustainable manufacturing practices, and long-term investment in UK operations.
