Best Use of Plastic Spoons

Upcycled lighting | Kitchann Style

This 22″ x 16″ chandelier is made from recycled plastic spoons by Studio Verissimo of Portugal.  Artisits Claudio Carduso and Telma Verissimo strive to make people smile with their creations.

From a distance the chandelier looks like it is made from Lucite.  Very luxurious for only $300 from Eekowire.

Place this in your eating area and you will have an instant conversation piece.

I’d like to see an extra long chadelier with more lights inside.

Illuminated Showerhead

Most of my clients do not like the look of waterproof lights that are installed in showers and over tubs.
So, I was very thrilled to stumble upon the Jaclo Luminere Damask Showerhead at RubyRooms.com.

The patterned transparent cover on the Tondo and Quadro showerheads provides diffused elegant lighting
for the bathroom.  Other patterns and colors are available from Jaclo.

ReLED Replaces Your Flourescent Lamps

ReLEDSystems, from Huntington Beach, CA offers an LED replacement for fluorescent T5, T8 and T12 lamps. 

The extruded aluminum linear lamp conforms to the dimensions of a typical fluorescent lamp.  It provides an efficient heat sink and uses bright Lumiled K2 diodes.  The fluorescent ballast is replaced with the Re Driver.  It’s skinny profile helps to make retrofitting the ballast easier.

In addition to the energy savings, the benefits of utilization of LED lighting technology include a 10 year service life (more than half a billion fluorescent tubes are disposed of int he US each year), no infrared or UV light emissions, no mercury or PCBs, high quality light and wide  operating temperature range.

This is great news for people who have fluorescent fixtures in place and want and to utilize LED lighting.
