concept. They were also very pleased with the flexibility and future- proof technology of the TECTON continuous-row lighting system: installation is super easy and simple; luminaires and spotlights can be added wherever required. As the next generations of the energy- efficient TECTON evolve, they can be retrofitted directly without tools, helping to further ensure Oscar Acoustics meet their ambitious sustainability and energy efficiency goals.”
The BREEAM Excellent and EPC A+ ratings for the Headquarters, place the building above the Net Zero Carbon Standard, proving the company’s commitment to environmental protection. The state-of-the-art luminaires and the LITECOM lighting management system from Zumtobel support the efficient utilisation of lighting energy. The natural light entering the Headquarters, is harvested and the luminaires are automatically adjusted to seasonal and daylight- dependent lighting conditions, resulting in energy savings of at least 25 - 30% compared to conventional lighting systems without control.
Light and acoustics contribute to a sense of well-being
The LITECOM system also enables individual selection of the light colour and intensity. “The customer can create dynamic lighting scenes,”

explained Nick Hughes. “They can even choose the light colours to match the occasion – whether it be for Christmas or Halloween.”
Customised, innovative and tailored to the needs of its employees: It's not just the lighting solutions that contribute to the feel-good atmosphere. The company Headquarters are of course equipped with Oscar’s broad range of acoustic finishes - from sprays, ceiling trims and insulation to plaster. As both headquarters and showroom, they create the perfect acoustic environment for visitors and employees alike, supporting Oscar Acoustics’ quest for well-being.
Aesthetic lighting for a fashionable environment
In addition to the numerous functional aspects of the Zumtobel lighting solution, aesthetics was also of great importance. As Oscar Acoustics did not want an off-the- shelf lighting solution, but one that really suited the individual room requirements, Zumtobel developed numerous creative solutions: The rectangular SLOTLIGHT II luminaires directly above Managing Director Ben Hancock's desk complement the already chic office environment. On entering the reception area, visitors are greeted by PANOS infinity suspended spotlights, which create a moon effect: producing a pleasant, glare-free brightness.
Lighting the Full Experience- from the inside out
To complement the interior lighting scheme, Thorn Lighting’s luminaires have been thoughtfully integrated to enhance the building’s exterior. The Aquaforce Pro fixtures illuminate the roof spaces, while Black Areaflood Pro II floodlights provide powerful lighting around the building's perimeter. The car park benefits from the Isaro Pro II, ensuring a well-lit and safe environment for visitors and staff. Additionally, Piaza II LED lights accentuate the external walls, bringing a cohesive and polished look to the outdoor areas that mirrors the sophistication of the interior.
Nick concluded: “Well designed, well thought out and innovation-led: Oscar Acoustics’ combines office and industrial applications to create a truly inspiring workspace.”
Ben Hancock, Managing Director at Oscar Acoustics, commented: “Lighting is almost as important as the architecture itself, when creating a warm and inviting space. Design is extremely important to me, so I took great care in selecting lighting that not only performed well but also looked the part and fitted with my vision. Zumtobel were able to give me this with their impressive range. We are extremely pleased with the result. “
