Sylvania reveals OptiClip TERRA, the first LED luminaire made of paper with a 100% recyclable frame

Sylvania, a professional lighting expert, introduces OptiClip TERRA, an exclusive eco-responsible innovation. This groundbreaking LED luminaire is designed with a 100% recyclable paper frame, marking a significant step towards sustainable lighting solutions.

Eco-Friendly and High-Performance Design

Targeted for tertiary lighting in offices and schools, OptiClip TERRA offers both environmental and technical advantages:

  • A frame made entirely of paper (60% recycled, 40% from certified sustainable forests), fully recyclable when folded.
  • Two removable LED modules, clipped via a plug-and-play system, delivering premium lighting quality (CRI > 80, UGR < 19).
A New Era of Sustainable Lighting

Manufactured in Saint-Étienne, France, at a Sylvania Group European site, OptiClip TERRA sets new standards for eco-responsibility and performance.

  • Weighting only 1200g, its production emits 80% less CO2 than a steel equivalent, and transportation-related emissions are reduced by 40%.
  • Easily replaceable LED modules minimize waste and extend the product’s lifespan.
  • Packaged in sets of four, using certified sustainable cardboard, eco-friendly ink, and 100% recyclable protective film.

Sylvania is pioneering a more sustainable lighting industry and will continue expanding its eco-responsible products under the “TERRA” label.

Durability and Compliance

OptiClip TERRA is not only innovative but also meets the highest industry standards. It complies with EN 60598 regulations regarding glow wire tests (650°) and humidity resistance.

The paper structure, supplied by DS Smith— a leading provider of recyclable corrugated packaging—ensures high strength and durability. With a lifespan of 60,000 hours (L80B10) and a 5-year warranty, OptiClip TERRA reduces maintenance and service costs.

Advanced Lighting Performance

Designed with removable and interchangeable lighting modules, OptiClip TERRA features a sleek aesthetic and easy installation. Its high-quality LEDs ensure efficiency and uniform light output, making it ideal for workplaces such as offices and classrooms.

  • Glare control (UGR < 19) enhances comfort in professional environments.
  • Available in warm white (3000K) and neutral white (4000K) with a CRI > 80.
  • Supports dimmable DALI and SylSmart Connected versions for smart lighting integration.
A Sustainable Future for Sylvania and the “TERRA” Range

Buildings worldwide are facing increasing demands for efficiency in pollution control, waste management, and energy consumption. The European directive on energy efficiency mandates a 32.5% reduction in building energy consumption by 2030.

Switching to LED lighting with smart controls can yield up to 65% energy savings while ensuring user comfort. With OptiClip TERRA, Sylvania continues to lead in providing sustainable, high-performance lighting solutions for professionals such as architects, builders, and specifiers.

By embracing innovation and sustainability, Sylvania reinforces its commitment to an environmentally responsible future with the TERRA range.
