About us
On a mission to accelerate the lighting industry's transition to sustainable design, we challenge ourselves to design the lowest embodied carbon, non-toxic lighting solutions. Our products contain no metal, plastic, or glass in their housings. Instead they are natural wood, wool and hemp, red-list free, and accompanied by 3rd party verified sustainability documentation. For several decades, the discussion about sustainability in lighting has been focused on energy efficiency. As other products such as flooring and furniture have been scrutinized for their material sustainability, lighting has been treated as an exception. However, we believe lighting should be scrutinized in the same way, and the topic of sustainability should include an analysis of embodied carbon and toxic materials. Today, architectural light fixtures are more energy efficient and longer lasting than ever. However, they are made from primarily metals and plastics. Raw aluminum used for fixture housings may be recyclable, but requires an oven burning at over 1000 degrees to melt and shape, consuming a ton of energy. Plastic used for optics and diffusers is made in oil refineries, releasing toxic chemicals into the environment that will eventually end up in a landfill or polluting our oceans. Although as an industry we are doing a great job conserving electricity during the operational lifetime of our products, there is a need for improvements in the sourcing, manufacturing, and end-of-life considerations of our creations. It is the responsibility of the manufacturing community to design sustainable alternatives to commonly used products. However, the design community holds the power to pressure manufacturers into doing so by specifying sustainable products whenever possible, and demanding 3rd party verified sustainability information about those products. When you specify Lightly instead of traditional metal and plastic products, you are accelerating the sustainability movement.

A little peek behind the curtain —Here’s a look at our glue-up process, where we use Red List free, formaldehyde-free, water-based, and non-toxic glue to bond our components. After the glue is applied, the pieces are assembled and placed into what our team affectionately calls the "Iron-Man" — an innovative pneumatic press, designed and built in-house. It ensures evenly distributed clamping force, allowing the glue to permanently bond the moldings. Sustainable craftsmanship meets precision engineering in every piece we create.

Luminaire’s housing is made from poplar wood American lighting manufacturer lightly has followed up its acclaimed Butterfly luminaire with another ultra carbon conscious light, the Glow Direct. This suspended fixture is made primarily from wood and wool. Its housing and end caps contain no metal, plastic, or glass and are instead made from sustainably-harvested Pennsylvania poplar trees. Its gaskets are 100 per cent natural wool felt while the wood adhesive is non-toxic and the wood stain is VoC-free. Lightly says the lightweight wood and wool construction also reduces the embodied carbon and cost of shipping as compared to traditional metal fixtures. Available in 3000K, 3500K, 4000K with CRI>90. Also available in tuneable white, ranging from 2700-6500K with CRI of 90. The Glow Direct also challenges traditional luminaire design, typically reliant on translucent diffusers to distribute light. Instead, it delivers a 100 per cent direct distribution with a distinctive glowing arch optical profile finished in highly reflective matt white eco-friendly paint. The LED engines are concealed from viewing from all sides, reducing glare and creating a comfortable lighting experience. • Read more: Link in the comments • See more sustainable innovations at Circular Lighting Live 2024, Recolight’s flagship conference and exhibition, which takes place on Wednesday 9 October 2024 at the Royal College of Physicians in London.
