Why choose a brass light fixture

A brass light fixture made of hard brass is manufactured from either a solid piece of pure brass or from a brass sheet or tube.

If you live near the sea or the ocean, you wouldn’t want to purchase any type of outdoor lighting.

The salty sea air can oxidize and destroy fixtures made of cheaper materials, such as aluminum or iron. Only special outdoor light fixtures such as those made of solid brass are recommended for use near the sea.

These fixtures are the best suitable for coastal areas, as they can withstand the salty sea air.

It is no coincidence that these types of brass light fixtures are still used on ships, from which they have taken the name nautical lights.

In general, light fixtures made of brass have high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.

Ideally, lights intended for outdoor use (gardens, terraces, courtyards, pathways and walkways) are made of hard brass and are fitted with thick glass so as to withstand even the harshest weather conditions.

Typically, these fixtures have ribbed glass which refracts the light and does not dazzle visitors.

Some models also have a safety net that protects the glass against potential impacts.

Outdoor lamps are sealed with a special gasket that protects its electric parts, such as the lamp, the lampholder and the wiring from rain, snow and dust.

It should be noted that, over time, hard brass develops a beautiful natural patina on its surface, with a dark brown or green hue.

This gives the light fixture a charming appearance.

The patina, if required, can be easily removed with appropriate cleaning, which can return the fixture to its original state.

With proper care, a light fixture made of hard brass can preserve its original luster and beauty for many generations.

Lighting and color. How lighting affects color

Lighting and color.

The colors we see are the result of a light beam striking a surface and then reflected towards our eyes.
Research has increasingly shown that the concept of color is the result of peoples’ psycho-physiological approach.

There are also other factors that influence the visual perception of colors and light, such as age, sensitivity to light, and neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and autism.

Lighting has the power to transform a space.

When designing a space, color perception is strongly related to the sensations caused by the lamps according to their color temperature.

Most designers know that the warm and cold tones of the lamps produce different colors.
Incandescent lamps—warm lighting—add an orange or reddish tint to colors.

For example, brown acquires a pink tint.

On the other hand, fluorescent lamps—cold lighting—add a blue tint which results in brown acquiring a blue tint.
This phenomenon is usually found in bathrooms equipped with fluorescent lamps.

Kitchen lighting. Tips and ideas

As the kitchen is not always located in the ideal area compared to the rest of the house, you should at least ensure that it does not have any disadvantages that make it “awkward” and dysfunctional.

Besides, you spend a large part of the day there, so it’s worthwhile addressing its configuration.
This means that matters such as natural lighting and room ventilation are key priorities.

Windows must be of sufficient size, while it is preferable to have access to a veranda, thus facilitating the removal of daily trash.

Technical kitchen lighting is a matter that you should not undertake casually and hastily, if you want it to adequately serve your needs.

The kitchen bench is the central point of illumination and will be covered by built – in spotlights or fluorescent lamps that will illuminate the desired spot with clarity.

The general kitchen lighting body—usually located at the center of the ceiling—serves the rest of the space, but not the individual tasks performed on the bench.

In addition, pay close attention to damp spots, so as to prevent moisture from affecting the cabinet materials or even the food or linen placed within them.
