TRILUX has won a prestigious Build Back Better Gold Award for its
Osido wall luminaire, recognising the product’s innovation, sustainability, and contribution
to reducing light pollution in architectural lighting.
The Build Back Better Awards celebrate excellence across innovation, creativity, social purpose,
and environmental leadership. In the 2025 lighting category, judges assessed projects, products,
and initiatives from across the industry, awarding just one Platinum, eight Green, and a select
number of Gold accolades.
Osido secured its Gold Award for tackling one of the toughest challenges in architectural lighting:
creating striking façades and building surrounds without contributing to obtrusive light or sky glow.
Instead of external shields or louvres, Osido integrates the solution into its design. In versions with
indirect lighting, the LED board is angled inward by 6°, directing light precisely onto the façade and
significantly reducing upward emissions — supporting Dark Sky principles.
Beyond its optical precision, Osido sets new benchmarks in sustainability and ease of use. Based
on a modular concept, the range supports refurbishment and circular economy principles with
standardised mounting plates that allow one-person installation, upgrades, or maintenance. A
larger cavity behind the mounting plate simplifies cable routing, while plug-and-play connectors
enable tool-free installation.
The luminaire family combines application-specific MLT optics, optional facial illumination modules
for enhanced safety, and compatibility with Casambi and LiveLink controls. Designed to blend
seamlessly into both modern and traditional architecture, Osido is available in four shapes, with
further extensions to include ceiling luminaires, bollards, and spotlights planned.
“Winning a Build Back Better Gold Award underlines Osido’s role in setting new standards for
responsible architectural lighting,” said Leighton James, Product and Marketing Director TRILUX.
“By combining design impact with environmental responsibility, Osido demonstrates how product
innovation can support both the needs of designers and the wider goals of sustainability.”
The award was officially presented on 25 September 2025 at Circular Lighting Live in London, with
winners announced publicly the following day.
