When we want to go green with our lights, it isn’t always or just about the bulbs and the watts they come in. Sure those make a huge difference to both the greens of the environment and that of our already depressed wallets but so do the lighting fixtures we fit them into.
Therefore, if you are currently remodelling or furnishing your house or maybe even an office, then do consider going green beyond just using energy saving bulbs but invest in the use of eco-friendly and earth sustainable light fittings. Of course do appreciate that there are many more designs available on the market but the following collections would serve to give you some ideas of the possibilities open to you.
The ABS award winning collection is designed and constructed mainly of bamboo with copper and plexiglass details. They are fitted and powered by recycled phone chargers and lit with LED light bulbs. These eco-friendly collections are available for:
- Floor lights
- Desk/Table lights
- Ceiling/hanging lights
- Scones
I can see these designs used by designers to bring to life a contemporary or modern theme. What are even better, Organic Light Sculpture offer custom as well as site-specific designs. On top of that, most of the catalogue designs can be modified and/or adapted to suit your needs.
One of the widest selections of eco-friendly light fittings is available from Eco-Lights. They offer beautiful lightings to suit almost every style of interior design in the following categories:
- • Ceiling Lighting
- • Wall Lighting
- • Lamps
- • Outdoor Lighting
- • Energy Star Lighting
- • Solar Lighting
- • Novelty Lighting
Personally I think they have the most beautiful nightlights that are skilfully crafted from porcelain and metal that is absolutely to die for. Certainly something you want to at least have a look at even if you’re not in the market for a nightlight.
In fact when you look at the designs, you’re going to wonder how they are in any way different from those of conventional make. Honestly I had that question playing in my head too, that’s why you should read their Eco-Facts page which will explain everything from their green culture to What materials the Company will refuse to sell.
