Light By Raven Hero Image.png

Architectural lighting, cast by hand.

A London studio making luminaires that close the gap between the technical and the decorative — real photometric performance inside forms cast by hand, every piece customisable.

Nevermore the old divide

We came to making from the technical side of lighting, and kept running into the same split. Technical lighting performed, but had drifted toward sameness — a line of light and little else. Decorative lighting looked considered, but treated the light itself as an afterthought.

We didn't see why that had to be a choice. So we make one thing that does both: the engineering kept honest — real output, proper thermal design, the compliance a project needs — inside a housing cast by hand that you'd want to touch.

Everything is made in our London workshop, and everything is customisable.

Huginn Linear Pendant. Dark Light LED . Light By Raven UK. Hero Image Jesmonite

Huggin

A compact linear pendant — deceptively powerful precision optics in a miniature, hand-cast housing. Fully customisable.

Stalacino
A petite, hand-cast luminaire inspired by natural mineral formations. The Stalacino delivers focused downlight through an elegant stalactite silhouette combining organic aesthetics with precision

Stalacino

A petite, hand-cast downlight drawn from natural mineral formations. Focused light in an organic silhouette, engineered with precision.

The Minor Descent

A compact pendant built around a tool-less swappable housing. A high-efficacy core stays put while the hand-cast finish can be refreshed in under a minute — no rewiring.

004 — Not Yet Named


RGBW colour mixing optic. Hand-cast. 110° + 8° precise beam control.

For the ones who look up first.

Specified properly, finished by hand

Every piece is made to be specified. We provide the photometric data your calculations need, work to your scheme's colour temperature, support standard control protocols, and adapt form, finish and fit to the project — then cast the housing by hand so it belongs in the room.

  • Photometric data — LDT files available for accurate lighting calculations

  • Customisable as standard — form, finish and fit adapted to the project; housings can be changed or refinished (fixings vary by product)

  • Lead times — fast for made-to-order work, helped by our digital print-and-cast process; still project-specific, never off-the-shelf

  • Colour temperature specified per project — standard, not an afterthought

  • Control — standard dimming protocols including DALI and 1–10V

  • Made in London — designed, printed, cast and finished in one workshop

Tell us what your project needs

Everything we make is customisable, and the process is built so that bespoke doesn't have to be slow or painful. If you've a project, a constraint, or an idea you can't currently solve, we'd like to hear it.
