Silk flame effect lighting is not a new concept; patents go
back as long ago as the 1940s, and it seems that it was the advent of the electric
fire that stimulated its development. Twisting or fluttering fabric filaments
behind a partially opaque screen, illuminated by a warm amber glow were the
early designs.
It wasn't until theatreland in the sixties that the re-design of the concept
as a simulated fire stimulated a resurgence in the use of flame lights. A
third wave of development came in the 90s with the
clubland explosion and its need for sophisticated
special effects in the pursuit of exciting visual
entertainment.
Since then flame lights have been adopted by a few niche markets such as exhibition stand designers, the fireplace industry, and lighting designers for pubs, clubs and restaurants. But it is only now that a lightweight, versatile model has been developed for the domestic market. The Fire Lamp can be used as an attractive 'stand-alone' flame light or easily incorporated into a legion of designs or mountings to provide user-specific flame-lighting. In the domestic market, its versatility as an 'electric candle' is as attractive as it is in the commercial marketplace.
The LUXA range of flame lights covers all requirements from a 'raging inferno' making a splash on an exhibition stand to a flexible little cutie for the table, and a range of others including wall-mounted and battery-powered flame lamps, all described on our Products Page.
Whether you wish to buy or grow your own, Luxa has the size to suit.
