Take the LED Tour at Lights Fantastic
Speaking of LED lighting, Lights Fantastic has just opened a new design studio upstairs that includes real-life examples of the latest in LED and “green” lighting, all installed in a variety of room settings. See what it looks like, try it out. Imagine it in your own home. I don’t know of any other place in Dallas where you can experience all the new lighting technology in such an interactive, complete way. Ask for a tour — you’ll leave being as excited about it as I did.
Niermann Weeks at Edward Ferrell/Lewis Mittman
Eleanor McKay, CEO of Niermann Weeks, talked to about 60 designers today at a luncheon at the EF/LM showroom about “Life after Incandescent.” Not only did she entertain everyone with her very outspoken views, (thankfully, that pesky pc concept doesn’t seem to bother her,) but she gave some really honest opinions about CFL and LED lights. One is ugly, the other is not quite competent yet. So what do we in the “beautify the world” industry do? We make ourselves heard that lights need to look good too, and as a last resort - hoard those chandelier lights!
