Decorative lighting
TRENDS in lighting evolve at a fast pace and the possibilities today are endless.
Some of the preferences that influence a customer’s choice in decorative lightings are based on environmental factors; energy consumption; latest designs and trends; maintanence and upkeep; durability; aesthetic value and professional advice from interior decorators or lighting showroom personnel.
More consumers nowadays lean towards light-emitting diode, or LED, as the single most popular lighting trend.
This is largely due to concerns of energy consumption and the preferred energy efficient alternatives.
Today’s LED lighting is six to seven times more efficient than conventional fittings and can last up to 20 times longer.
The consumer saves on electricity bill as well as benefit from the green properties of LEDs. Also, pendant lights still remain a light of choice for many consumers.
Some prefer the vintage look of classic lights, which are finished in rustic, gold or antique brass. These lights are time-tested, durable and will never be outdated.
The younger generation would prefer the chrome-, silver- or titanium-finished products with the retro look that are suitable for condominiums and apartments.
Pendants can be of two forms – multi or single pendants. Multi pendants come with three arms, or more than 20, whereas a single pendant is devoid of arms.
Wall fittings still remain a popular choice of lights among consumers as they can be utilised as standalone or as a complimentary addition to pendant lights.
Apartment and condominium dwellers usually prefer fittings that are chic and trendy, which do not occupy a large space.
Recessed and surface mounted downlights are a must for every household these days.
They come in a variety of sizes and colours utilising LED technology.
All the above are further complemented by floor and table lamps to set a warm and relaxing ambience in the living, dining or bedroom areas.
Decorative lightings currently cater to the needs of young discerning entrepreneurs who demand sophistication, combined with practicality and aesthetic value.
There are always opportunities to be discovered in decorative lighting thanks to new innovations, through latest research and development in state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.
