Key Takeaway
Planet Lighting has released SNAP Uni 2.0 — a fully redesigned Snap luminaire with superior beam and glare control, and up to double the uniformity — and MegaPuck, a higher-power integrated engine in the same snap-in format. Warm 1800 K and dedicated amber spectra cut blue light after dark; MegaPuck Aperture is the low-uplight path for Dark Sky-sensitive work.
SNAP Uni 2.0
SNAP Uni 2.0 is a completely redesigned SNAP for handrail lighting. Planet’s published line: superior beam and glare control, and up to twice the uniformity of the previous generation. Distribution is elliptical asymmetric 65° — a forward throw with a sharp cut-off, so the path is lit and the source stays out of sight when the module sits on the underside of the rail.
The module remains compact: 16 mm Ø × 15 mm overall, 316 stainless steel (electropolished, raw brass, or RAL). IK10, IP65 as standard, IP68 optional. Colour temperatures run from 1800 K / 2200 K through 6500 K, plus PC amber and amber among the colour options. Control: 1–10 V, DALI, DMX, Casambi, BasicDIM Wireless. (Planet SNAP Uni 2.0 datasheet, June 2026.)
Light that sits more quietly after dark
SNAP Uni 2.0 can be specified at ultra-warm 1800 K, or in dedicated amber spectra. Planet positions these options as a way to reduce blue-light content at night — supporting darker skies, less insect attraction, and less disruption to nocturnal rhythms — without switching the handrail off.
That is a specification choice, not an automatic factory default. Call for 1800 K or amber when the project is ecology- or Dark Sky-sensitive; use 2700–4000 K where the brief is conventional path lighting.
MegaPuck
MegaPuck takes the LED engine and optics of Planet’s Air series and puts them in the Snap shell. Planet calls it the most versatile integrated lighting engine in the range — still a discreet 316 stainless module, still push-to-snap, but with more lumen and more optic choice.
| Variant | Published role |
|---|---|
| MegaPuck Lens | Up to 800 lm. Air-series beams and accessories in the Snap shell. |
| MegaPuck Aperture | Extreme asymmetric, up to 500 lm. Planet lists UGR <1% and zero uplight. Paths, wall wash, Dark Sky-sensitive work. |
| MegaPuck Bollard | Zero uplight. Three circular beams up to 800 lm. Curved faces 80–150 mm. |
| MegaPuck Crescent | Spring fit for plaster and other flat, non-rigid faces. |
MegaPuck Lens — up to 800 lm; beam and accessory options from the Air engine.
MegaPuck Aperture — extreme asymmetric, up to 500 lm; Planet lists UGR <1% and zero uplight. Wall wash, paths, Dark Sky-sensitive work.
MegaPuck Bollard — zero uplight, three circular beams up to 800 lm; curved faces 80–150 mm.
MegaPuck Crescent — spring fit for plaster and other flat, non-rigid faces.
Applications published by Planet go beyond handrail: bollards, poles, shelters, sculpture. Specify from the MegaPuck datasheet for lumen, optic, and substrate — do not assume Snap Uni 2.0 numbers apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is SNAP Uni 2.0 a new family, or an update to Snap?
An update inside the SNAP family. Same snap-in body language; new optic. Planet’s line is up to double the uniformity, elliptical asymmetric 65°.
When should we specify 1800 K or amber?
When the brief is nocturnal ecology, insect-sensitive landscape, or Dark Sky. SNAP Uni 2.0 lists 1800 K / 2200 K and PC amber / amber. Confirm the spectral option on the order code — it is not implied by “SNAP Uni 2.0” alone.
How does this sit with the Airside Footbridge pucks?
William Artists supplied Planet LED Puck at Airside Footbridge. SNAP Uni 2.0 and MegaPuck are newer tools in the same Australian integrated-puck line. Match optic and CCT to the new brief; do not assume Airside’s specification carries over.
