Hopefully the first of many. I thought it would be useful to post some of my favourite lights, with a little explanation of why. The majority of lights I choose are judged principally on how well they hide the light source. The style of a light has to be chosen to suit its surroundings, even if it’s chosen to be invisible, or to do some sort of chameleon trick of hiding no matter what decoration scheme is around it. So I will try not to favour lights because I like the style! Maybe when I have a bit more time I could look at doing “Top 5” lights of a particular style, for example and currently very ‘in’ would be industrial style.

There’s also the quality of construction, though this is normally linked to price, and then there’s the simple question of ‘how much light can it give’.

So first light tomorrow…

A PS on terminology:
I could choose to call light fittings ‘luminaires’ and light bulbs ‘lamps’, which seems to be the language of the lighting community, but I hope to keep this readable… Plus I think luminaires would keep getting autocorrected to luminaries.
