Lighting up with LED lights and Swarovski crystals: the perfect marriage between energy saving and elegance.

“Lighting is the Queen”

There’s no doubt that lighting plays a fundamental role in design and renovation projects, both regarding light flow and balancing, in order to create suggestive light effects, and also from an aesthetic point of view, through research and selection of light sources that give personality and uniqueness to ambiances. The market provides many choices to illuminate, from floor/table lamps to wall and ceiling lights, as well as adjustable spotlights, partition walls and decorative panels; but if you’d like to obtain an optimal quality of lighting in a room, in addition to lamp positioning, we have to consider lighting sources (LED, incandescent, halogen) since they influence bulbs lifespan, light intensity and quality. Nowadays, it can’t be denied that the use of LED sources is becoming more and more frequent since energy saving and longer life of light bulbs, although more expensive, result in long-term sustainable cost-effectiveness: the economic savings can reach up to 80% on the electricity bill, while bulbs lifespan can reach up to 50,000 hours, compared to about 2,000 hours of halogen lamps. As yet, the technical side. What about adding a touch of class now? Well, here comes the main character: Crystal. Here, too, we can draw on several options, but in the first position, we place the renowned Swarovski crystals, thanks to the high quality of making and material used. The lighting featured fascinating and luxurious sparkles that enhanced the design of each lamp, lending class, elegance, and personality to residential and commercial environments as well as prestigious hotels.
