We're all excited here at Lighting Styles that the sun continues to shine (well it does in Essendine!).

We've been busy adding new products to the website on a daily basis and the gazebo lighting has really put us in the mood for alfresco dining and drinking... Ah the joy of a summer evening, the setting sun, the tweeting birds, the hum of insects and a glass of chilled white wine.  Makes me sigh just thinking about it!

The gazebo and festoon lights are perfect for extending the evening a little further adding a soft light enabling you to carry on into the small hours (provided you've not drunk too much wine!).

Of course if you're having a more formal party in a marquee the gazebo lights would look excellent fitted around the sides of the venue.  The festoon lights could also be used on say the bar area.

Heh this is an awesome (a term our web editor likes to use often!) product ideal for a present especially as it comes in a gift like box. A bit funky and a bit cool... Another phrase we could use for this light!


This Glow brick gathers solar power during the day and then, as the night falls, it gradually begins to light up.  Made with a real light bulb and phosphor luminescent material, encased in acrylici this has a polished surface to give a jewel like effect.


No limits as to where it could be used or taken as it requires no batteries or main powers - just the sun and it is summer... Right?!

Lighting Styles receives numerous enquiries for long drop pendants which are to be installed in stairwells, hallways or large living areas.

We love the Glycerine Long Drop Pendant which has multiple wires suspended from a ceiling plate which houses five GU10 lamps providing lighting at a total wattage of 250.  The height of this pendant is 1100mm which is a great for higher ceilings and stairwells, it has unusual glass baubles which make this light very interesting.

There are various other long drop pendants which are also favourites such as the Fountain Cascade which is a great product and provides excellent value for the quality and size.

We've been making a whole lot of noise for a while now about ceramic range of lights from our favourite French factory and we just received another shipment and everyone took a few moments away from their desk to come and take a look.

Authentique et actual as we are proud to say. Even the large pallet size cartons are packed with straw from French fields where you know they've been blowing in the breeze and basking in the sun! It smells gorgeous and makes us remember that all products need not be packaged in polystyrene and plastic bags.

Then we take a look at each and every item to make sure every component has made the journey from France without breakage and while we do this a battle breaks out between members of staff to pick their favourite colour.

So far we have listed:

The single pendants, “Suspension, suspension fixe and suspension avec chaine”.
The single rise and fall, “Monte-et-Baisse”.
The trapeze rise & fall, “Trapeze Monte-et-Baisse”.

The next product to be listed is the triple fixed pendant, “Lustre Lyre triple”, as seen in the picture. We love these lights and many of our customers do too!
