Lighting Must Haves, Inside and Out

Written by Progress Lighting | Feb 3, 2022 6:14:00 PM

Visitors to our showroom during last month’s Lightovation trade show received a first look at more than 300 new lighting fixtures we unveiled during our 2022 fixture launch. They were wowed, and rightly so! Here are some of the favorite fixtures that lighting showroom owners, buyers and designers said were “must-haves.”

It’s Not Too Soon to Think Outdoor Lighting

Our customers agree: outdoor lighting styles are looking more brilliant than ever! Our Gables wall lantern shines in a gorgeous Satin White finish. The lantern light’s stately frame features gentle arches and a light source that glows from within clear glass panels. In addition, the corrosion-resistant housing is made with DURASHIELD, a durable material specially designed and tested to resist harsh environmental conditions.

Carrying the white theme further is the Jeffrey Alan Marks Point Dume™ Hook Pond wall lantern finished in crisp Shelter White. Hook Pond features a steeply pitched, barn-inspired roof crowned with a distinctive loop finial. A clean, modern frame holds glass panels printed with a unique silver mesh pattern reminiscent of a traditional screened-in porch. It’s also constructed of corrosion-resistant DURASHIELD, engineered composite polymers that withstand a broad range of environmental conditions, delivering beautiful lighting and reliability.

Our Chilton Collection wall lantern earned rave reviews, with an airy design that takes its cue from the cage frame popular in interior lighting. A traditional lantern style inspires Chilton’s modern silhouette, but its form is constructed of slim metal bands, making it a contemporary take on tradition. A suspended etched opal glass column provides generous illumination.

Interior Lighting That’s the Center of Attention

Our lighting show attendees chose not one but three pieces as must-haves from our new Saffert Collection; all finished in a mellow Vintage Brass. First, the three-light Saffert linear chandelier has a stoic, beam-style frame punctuated by clear glass shades, offering a modern urban style. Their second selection, the Saffert one-light wall sconce, also features the beam style and crisp, clear glass shade. Finally, the Saffert three-light shaded pendant in Vintage Brass completes the trio. Four slender rods capture a circular metal frame with an etched glass diffuser. A fabric shade inside the rods softens the clean style of the pendant. Overall, the Saffert Collection combines modern style and traditional elements to create a refreshed look ideal for new traditional, industrial and luxe interiors.

Another fresh take on a dome pendant that captivated buyers is the Parkhurst metal pendant light. The classic dome styling of the shade is coated in a subtly glowing brushed Nickel on the outside, complemented by a soft gold-finished interior that shines a warm light on surfaces below. An elegant metal ring brings sophisticated style to the dome’s simple silhouette.
