Exciting New Lighting Products

 

Perhaps the most anticipated product on the market in 2013, the game changer, is this new LED bulb by Cree.

This LED actually looks like an incandescent bulb! The average consumer still prefers to replace an incandescent with a bulb which is both similar in "look" and "feel."  Cree is the first company to deliver LED technology encased in a familiar frosted bulb shape. 
There is a 9.5 watt (60W-replacement) and a 6 watt (40W- replacement). Because Cree is going for an incandescent -like experience, they opted for 2700K color temperature.  These fully dimmable bulbs will range from just under $10 to $14, have a CRI of 80 and be rated for 25,000 hours of use.   These are available now online at Home Depot and will be on shelves for March 21st.

Hedy Chandelier by Currey & Co

Just LOOK at this beauty!  With our overwhelming fascination by the elegance and extravagance of Downton Abbey, the design industry   brings glitz and luxury back into fashion.

This exquisite piece is a masterful combination of hand applied and polished turquoise and jade colored glasses arranged in a classically shaped four light chandelier.  It is a stunning piece of eye candy meant to be a statement piece and not designed with function in mind.  Certainly it will work well over a table or in a luxury bath. Honestly, it is so breathtaking, it doesn't really matter if you can't see anything else, does it?  


Have you ever found yourself wishing someone invented translucent concrete?  


German company, LUCEM LICHTBETON, has lighting transmitting concrete applications for interior products, media facades, flooring, and furniture. Polished, sheen or matte surface LUCEM panels can be designed individually with the addition of colour pigments or differing arrangements of fibers.The translucent aesthetic is combined with the density of form to create a compelling visual aesthetic. 

Diffuse natural light provides full spectrum color through the LUCEM panels. Depending on the application, artificial light sources can be used for single colors or even special effects creating fascinatingly exclusive potential for floors, walls, ceilings and independently mounted surfaces.  Lucem info
