LZF slid right past Hi-Fi into Stereosonic in their Euroluce booth!

Euroluce: We Went, We Were Seen, We Rocked! | 
Posted on:April 19th, 2013 by global lighting

  There was a time when braggadocio was considered impolite (imagine how happy I am we are allowed to swagger ever-so-slightly in social media!). At the risk of bordering on boastful, I must say I felt a special sense of pride in our collaborators showing at Euroluce, the sister fair to the premier European design [...]

Discover Gubism; It Delivers! | 
Posted on:January 22nd, 2013 by global lighting

  It isn’t often I see a distinct voice rising above the din of e-commerce homogeneity, especially in the product-design arena where only a few sites stand out for their original approaches to sourcing. I came across one recently—Discover and Deliver, a noteworthy platform which caught my eye because we at Global Lighting work so [...]

Global Lighting’s Boxing Day Reader | 
Posted on:December 26th, 2012 by global lighting

A Slice of Light: the Flat Bulb | 
Posted on:February 16th, 2012 by global lighting

What with the future of the incandescent bulb dimming (or seesawing through more partisan cycles than 60 Hz AC), this slim beauty is one of those late party arrivals that has (had) everyone asking, “Where have you been all this time?” Sadly, we may never see its slender good looks illuminating our minimal interiors, politics [...]
