He noted that many of his clients work in the high-tech field.Now, Mike is particularly inspired by the vision of the future of past thinkers, especially in his 1890 s."There was a very rich vision at the time to replace steam --Future power: valves, meters, Edison bulbs ."This so-Mark's hand clearly shows the beauty of steampunk.Jules Verne lamp forged with iron rings and portholesGlass insert shape.McEwan is also increasingly interested in what he calls a "softer, more romantic" design style.That's why, while his lighting is clean and modern, warm materials are used: opal glass, corrugated metal, Cloudburst, silk cloth and beads.His corrugated copper gear fixture looks like a gear on a factory wheel, but when the light goes through the opal glass inside, it softens and produces an effect that is almost liquid.Even though these lighting fixtures look like sculptures, the metal workers who make chandeliers will never forget one thing: they are adding power to the mix."Creating perfectly balanced design components in metal is a challenge, while leaving room for yourself for later wiring," says Griswa ."."I have also considered some practical things: how will my client replace the bulb?How will they clean it?"In order to ensure the safety of their ceiling fixtures, the blacksmith will seek from the UL inspector in the Bay Area the Underwriter Laboratory (UL) certification of the personal fixtures, or with UL-Certified electrician to ensure that the combination of metal and electricity is safe.More and more lighting designers are also thinking about howEfficient technologies such as compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and lightingEmitting diodes (LED) in their work )."As artists, we have to find ways to spread the lights and even use them as part of the lighting sculpture," says Griswa, describing a spiral form, it is possible to reach a climax in a twisted CFL bulb familiar to the end.McEwen's lamps use opaque glass to soften and diffuse the light of the CFL bulb, and Hopper makes chandeliers that are partially or entirely candlespowered.Another factor is weight consideration;More than 35 pounds of the chandeliers may require an enhanced support system installed above the ceiling.But Hopper added, "anything is possible if your ceiling is large.
