TRT Lighting relaunches Facet with reduced materials and improved performance

TRT Lighting has relaunched its Facet bulkhead as Facet Zero, a redesigned amenity luminaire that significantly reduces material use while improving efficiency and eliminating upward light.

Facet Zero represents a complete rethink of the original Facet design, developed with a focus on circularity, performance and environmental responsibility. By reducing material usage and improving optical performance, the new luminaire delivers a lower embodied carbon footprint alongside enhanced lighting outcomes.

Designed for circularity and reduced impact

A key feature of Facet Zero is its reduced material content. The luminaire uses 50% less metal and 66% less plastic than its predecessor, resulting in an overall product mass reduction of 48%. These improvements contribute to a TM66 circularity score of 2.8, supporting more sustainable specification and procurement decisions.

The redesigned form is also more compact, making the luminaire easier to handle, transport and install, while reducing the environmental impact associated with manufacturing and logistics.

Zero upward light and improved environmental performance

Facet Zero has been engineered to produce zero upward light, helping to minimise obtrusive light and reduce the impact of artificial light at night on surrounding environments.

Available in 2700K as standard, the luminaire supports schemes where reducing ecological impact is a priority, including residential, public realm and environmentally sensitive locations.

Higher efficiency, fewer luminaires

Alongside material reductions, Facet Zero delivers improved photometric performance. With efficacies of up to 162.8 lm/W and optimised optical distributions, the luminaire enables wider spacing and improved uniformity.

This allows designers to achieve required lighting levels with fewer fittings, reducing both installed load and long-term energy consumption.

Simplified installation and maintenance

Facet Zero introduces a new one-piece LED lens and cover system, integrating the optical assembly into a single unit. This reduces the number of components and simplifies both installation and maintenance.

The luminaire also features replaceable control gear and optional Lumi-LinQ wireless lighting controls, supporting flexible operation and long-term asset management.

A redesigned approach to exterior lighting

Ross Evans, Managing Director at TRT Lighting, commented:

“Facet Zero reflects a shift in how we approach exterior lighting design. By reducing material use, improving optical performance and eliminating upward light, we’ve created a luminaire that delivers on both sustainability and performance. It’s about achieving more with less; not just in energy terms, but across the entire product lifecycle.”

Facet Zero is suitable for a wide range of applications including pathways, building perimeters, car parks and public realm spaces.
