Lighting Tricks
We
make all manner of items associated with lighting. We conceal lamps and
light tubes with rafts, troughs and many other inventive plaster
products. New ideas and designs occur from time to time - well quite
often actually!
A first class example of this is here, to the right. This is at our
showroom - to the top is a lighting raft, painted yellow with two silver
rilles cut into the curved soffite of the raft. As with all the other
things on this web site - we make everything ourselves in our Yorkshire
workshop.
Below
this raft one can see the yellow painted light reflector, complete with
silver painted horizontal flute. Below which, in turn has a super Art
Noveau "cloud effect" frieze. All very nice, completely original and
utterly unique.
While here, to the left we have a close view of the same assembly.
Where
the light raft above projects quite a gentle light downward, the
lighting trough here - to the right "sends" light upward - onto a
plaster light reflector.
This assembly is also fitted to the first floor office area, directly
above our showroom. Naturally you should just ask, simply mention this
and we will be happy to show you all this on your visit to our workshop
/ showroom near Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
The
reflector / ceiling component is hand painted to represent clouds. While
the trough containing the lighting system is also hand painted to
imitate a boldly veined and coloured marble.
Here are two further installed lighting trough
assemblies.
To the left two are of the three ceiling panels to the Marriott Hotel in
Leeds. These were fitted when this was the only five star hotel in
Leeds. I'm not really sure if this is still the case or not.
To
the right (below) is a small part of quite a number of lighting trough
panels we installed, also some years ago to a shopping mall in Hanley,
Stoke on Trent. Both these projects were carried out some years ago now,
perhaps seven or ten.
Whatever idea / s you have, please bring them to us and we will try to
work with you to develop your scheme. Hopefully together we can "knock
up" something that really suits your home and accords with your
requirements. Please just ask us - contact details at bottom this and
and most other pages on this site.
Here
we have a further example of our inventiveness. This is a "lighting
pad". These fit into our standard "Cotswold" cornice design, they can be
fitted directly to the cornice - any where around your room.
These pads can, for instance be aligned with pictures or any particular
feature you wish to (literally) highlight. Perhaps this type of
installation should be installed in conjunction with a qualified
electrician.
Our
public showroom is open from 08.00 to 16.30 Monday to Friday, sometimes
later at night. Saturdays we open (very approximately) 09.30 to 15.30.
Please note we usually close on Sundays. Please 'phone 01924 463488 for
our (seasonal) opening times.
