Tuscan G2

The Evolution of Tuscan: High Performance, Robust LED Lighting Refined

For decades, the Tuscan LED luminaire from Designplan Lighting has been specified in demanding interior and exterior environments where robust, impact‑resistant lighting is essential.

Originally launched in 1979, Tuscan has earned a long‑standing reputation as a dependable solution for environments requiring vandal resistant and robust lighting performance. Through decades of real‑world use, the luminaire has evolved alongside advances in lighting technology while retaining its core strength, durability and reliability.

The new Tuscan G2 range represents the next stage in this journey, delivering higher‑efficacy LED lighting, enhanced robustness and a refined visual appearance, while simplifying specification and long‑term maintenance.

Built on proven design principles and informed by real‑world feedback, Tuscan continues to evolve, now exceeding modern expectations for performance, efficiency and sustainability.

Increased LED Efficacy for Greater Energy Efficiency.

A key advancement in the new Tuscan G2 range is a significant improvement in LED luminous efficacy. Where the previous version achieved a maximum of 106 lumens per watt, the updated range now delivers up to 138 lumens per watt. This provides more usable light while reducing energy consumption.

Across both 3000K and 4000K options, Tuscan G2 now achieves an average efficacy of 131 lumens per watt. These improvements support lower running costs, improved sustainability and compliance with modern energy efficiency standards, without compromising light output or visual comfort.

OLD VS NEW TUSCAN DIFFUSER

Enhanced Impact Resistance for Demanding Applications.

Designed for challenging environments, the new Tuscan G2 range improves durability even further.

Impact resistance has increased from IK16 (150 joules) to IK18 (200 joules), reinforcing Tuscan G2’s suitability for locations where resilience, safety and long service life are critical.

This makes Tuscan G2 ideal for demanding applications including:

Transport infrastructure
Circulation areas
High‑security settings
Healthcare environments
Other locations requiring robust, impact‑resistant lighting

While performance has been enhanced, the visual design of Tuscan G2 has also been carefully refined.

A flat, flush diffuser, combined with smaller fasteners and a wider homogenous lit appearance, reduces the visible metal frame and allows more light to reach the space. The result is a softer, more contemporary appearance that integrates more seamlessly with surrounding architecture.

Importantly, these refinements maintain Tuscan’s robust character, ensuring it remains instantly recognisable as a dependable, robust luminaire.

Easier Cleaning and Improved Maintenance Efficiency.

The flat diffuser does more than improve aesthetics. It also makes the luminaire easier to clean and maintain. With fewer contours and recesses, dirt build‑up is reduced, cleaning is faster and light output is preserved for longer.

This is particularly valuable in environments where hygiene, maintenance efficiency and consistent lighting performance are critical.

A Simplified Range with the Same Specification Flexibility.

The new Tuscan G2 range has been streamlined to make product selection easier and more efficient. It delivers the same versatility and flexibility with fewer product variants, reducing complexity for specifiers and contractors.

This simplification helps speed up specification, reduces the risk of incorrect product selection and supports smoother project coordination.

A Trusted Luminaire, Engineered for Today.

The evolution of Tuscan is about refinement rather than reinvention. By improving LED efficacy, enhancing impact resistance, refining the visual design and simplifying the range. The new Tuscan G2 range continues to deliver the qualities it is known for, updated to meet the needs of modern lighting projects.

Tuscan remains a proven solution, now offering higher performance, lower energy use and smarter, more considered design.
