Nora Lighting: Saria


Saria, a celestially-inspired LED mini-pendant with colorful glowing edge, has been introduced by Nora Lighting as a visually-exciting accent for home, hospitality, retail or commercial installations.

Featuring a micro-sized glass disk that measures just 4 ¾ inches across and ¼-inch deep, the Saria produces two distinct visual effects: Model 1W-LED features a cluster of multiple LED modules with a soft downlight glow. Model 3W-LED includes three 1-watt LEDs that produce an even, mini-flood of concentrated light without glare.

Circling the petite glass disks are bands of edge-lit LEDs that glow in blue, green, red or white. As with all Nora LEDS, the fixture is cool to the touch and there is no projected heat or UV rays. Color temperature is 3000K. The fixture is rated at 50,000 hours of performance at 70 percent of total lumen output. Finish hardware is offered in brushed nickel and mounts to a Nora mono-point canopy.

DeepStream Designs’ Recycling Receptacles


The ubiquitous blue recycle bin enters the trendy world of high fashion with the introduction of DeepStream Designs’ new jewel-toned Audubon Recycling Receptacles.

Partnering with decorative metal fabricator Móz Designs, DeepStream now offers a vibrant line of environmentally-friendly bins that add a touch of glamour to public area recycling.

Think luxury hotels, high-end shopping centers, amusement parks, airports or other high-visibility commercial and institutional sites, says Sheila Boyce, president of DeepStream Designs in Miami, FL.

“Attractive recycle bins are the new fashion accessory for glamorous hotel and building lobbies, pool and lounge areas,” said Boyce, “while also adding visual excitement to museums, theatres, theme parks or recreational facilities, such as ski resorts, water parks or other public attractions.”

GE's Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED)


Imagine the impact on the lighting design industry — and life as a consumer of lighting — if there was a flexible, energy-efficient, paper-thin light source that could be produced economically.

GE Lighting will preview potential organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lighting application ideas during two industry trade shows this year, Light + Building 2010 in Frankfurt, Germany and LightFair 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The company will show OLEDs in a number of configurations at both shows, including fixture prototypes that help to demonstrate the expected competitive advantages of GE's approach to OLEDs: flexibility and an ultra-thin form factor.
