We’re Featured: Gotham

Primelite's featured on TVs Gotham 

We recently had a guest starring role in the new TV series Gotham! Well actually a number of Primelite’s white globes were the stars. Appearing in a dark and moody scene our #284-3 globes shone brightly in support of the actors and actresses of the show. Can a recurring role be far behind? Inquiring minds want to know?

Gotham is an American crime television series…based on characters appearing in and published by DC Comics in their Batman franchise, primarily those of Detective James Gordon and Bruce Wayne. Gotham… premiered on September 22, 2014.*

Illuminating Your Home Improvement Projects

February is a great month for tackling indoor home improvement projects. Whether creating a new space, or updating a tired one, take a tip from design experts: don’t forget about the lighting! “Clients are willing to spend money on expensive furniture or a beautifully finished kitchen but give very little consideration to the lighting element,” suggests Susan Quirke, Managing Director for the award winning specialist at Quirke McNamara Consultancy.

Choosing appropriate lighting during the renovation process is an essential, but often overlooked, design component. Lighting fixtures not only help create the desired mood of a space, they also highlight the design features and assist in the functioning of a room. “The most expensive materials and interiors are never shown to their fullest without a good lighting scheme behind them,” explains Quirke.

Making the right choice in lighting fixtures begins by assessing the natural lighting of the space. North facing windows, while giving truer color rendition, can produce light that can be cold and harsh. Lighting designed to bring a soft glow will warm up these spaces.

Rooms with south facing windows receive the type of natural light that can “fade out” distinctive design features. Spot lighting can focus the eyes attention to specific room features and transform an otherwise flat space. The shadows created with east and west facing windows can be minimized with free standing and overhead lighting fixtures.

Additional factors such as window placement, outside foliage, and seasonal changes can also affect the quantity and quality of a space’s natural lighting. Overhead lighting, which provides an even wash of illumination, can be the perfect foundation fixture for these types of spaces where additional lighting may be needed.

Love IT Lighting, can assist with your renovation projects. Our wide selection of contemporary and traditional fixtures will add interest to any room and compliment any décor. Whether creating an additional living space, or perking up an existing one, Love IT Lighting has the affordable, stylish fixtures that add the finishing touch to your home improvement projects.

Customization: One Shade Many Ways

From billiard room to barnside our light fixtures can be customized to  meet your needs.  A good example of our customization is Shade Series 23 (cat. # 23/14) which can, and has, been used to fill the lighting needs in a wide variety of uses. The photo shows one of our customized lighting fixtures being used in the home.  We used 3 of the shades in copper along with customized steel bars to give a bright but homey feeling to this billiard room.

We’ve also used this shade as the basis of this light designed to be used on the outside a barn. Featuring the same shade #23 ,we customized this fixture to create the perfect outdoor light. The all aluminum fixture was painted and finished by our client.

Shown in black gloss this versatile shade can also be used as a pendant light, both in residential and commercial applications. The light fixture can be mounted flush to the ceiling or with the addition of a cord or metal stem can used as a hanging pendant. The stems are available in lengths up to 12 feet.

Light shade #23 is available in diameter sizes: 14″, 16″, 19″ and 24″. Check our website catalog (Indoor Lighting Page 12A) for more information.
