Whole House Power Conditioners
They can pay for themselves
This could be a very complicated discussion about parallel wraparound magnetic chokes that take surges on one phase of your electrical supply, clean it up and redeliver it to the opposite phase as clean “free” energy at the proper voltage and 60Hz. It sounds like bafflegab, designed to overwhelm people. Illuminations Lighting Design hates bafflegab (as our customers are more than

Direct, Phantom, or Remote?
What is the best way to light your art?
Elongated filament tube-bulbs, often greater than 6” in length, used to be the “go to” choice for lighting paintings, or other relatively flat objects (like plaster of stone friezes). With paintings there would often be a fixture with one or two bulbs directly overhead. This was called Direct Lighting, which would illuminate a rather central splotch, often leaving the top

Chandeliers
They have their ups and downs…
The word chandelier comes from Old French and means “candle-holder.” Long before electricity, a chandelier was one of the brightest sources of illumination possible, so naturally, we folks at Illuminations Lighting Design find them absolutely fascinating.
Designs have varied over the years but early ones were simply circular objects like a wagon wheel, or ship’s wheel with candles

Power Conditioning
What you need to know
Household voltages can vary widely depending on many conditions. One of the chief contributors to that variability is aged powerlines, ancient transformers, and what exactly stands between you and the power station.

Residential Lighting Maintenance
The porchlight has gone again!
What is more annoying than having a beautiful, oversized, chain-suspended, antique carriage light on your double-height front porch suddenly burn out? Good grief! It is 15 feet in the air… You don’t even own a ladder that big. Worse yet, you’re having a party this coming weekend and everyone is going to notice…
Well, there are worse things… Half the lights in the reflecting
