BATHROOM LAMPS



A bathroom is always a challenge illuminating every nook and corner of the bathroom, since the size of a bathroom is quite constrained and an effort is made to use the available floor space and walls for installing sanitary-ware and other objects and accessories necessary while having a shower or a tub bath. The size and protrusions are numerous and there is lot of space left dark under the washbasin. The corners near the shower remain unlit and the overall illumination in the bathroom is dim. This causes problems while bathing and while cleaning . Nooks and corners get neglected and end up looking unclean. 


To overcome all these issues select a lamp which will give direct illumination for a really bright look. It will enhance the bathing experience too. A dim gloomy bathroom is a most unwelcome sight for any person. So some basic level of moisture proofing along with the power cables is essential so that you can have a lamp which will serve well and a regular cleaning cycle is always advised. However with availability of excellent sealant , the moisture issue can be minimized to a large extent. Ceiling mounted lights although good looking and providing decent illumination are continuously inundated with the moisture that rises and condenses on the fixture .With time water percolates in the electrical wiring leading to shock hazard as well as a light with high failure. So while choosing bathroom fixtures care need to be taken to keep moisture resistance a top priority. Failing to do so can cause a lot of misery and cost a lot to maintain. Buy lamps, lamp fixtures which are moisture well.  Another  major issue with bathroom lighting is moisture condensing on the electrical wiring. Moisture is a big enemy of electrical fixture.  Bathroom lamps are special lamps and fixtures which are resistant to high humidity and moisture. Alternately a wall mounted sconce type lamp can be considered. Such lamps are less prone to moisture related issues being wall mounted. Even these lamps will have to be safeguarded from water . So a glass , ceramic or metal fixture is apt for a bathroom lamp. A sealant comes  handy to prevent water ingress and corrosion wherever possible and to apply it while installing the lamp. A bathroom lamp selected after considering all these issues will be a long lasting one providing long trouble free illumination.

Pendant Lamp Shades By bnbcreation.com




Shop Pendant Lamp shade : BnBCreation
Bare bulbs strung from a ceiling look bright and boring. The light fills up the entire room. The illumination is harsh and quite tiring on our eyes. So a lampshade made to slip over this bulb is born. Such a shade is called a pendant lampshade. Such lampshades have shapes similar to table lamps with the difference that the bulb is only visible if we stand below the shade and look up. Such shades can be tall, short and wide, square, cylindrical, Victorian and modern. Pendant lampshades help illuminate the room in a soft manner and the lighting is directed towards the floor . So the shadows are also minimum, The sofa and table surfaces are well illuminated and there is little  difference in illumination on the wall and on the objects. The murals, vase or a painting on the wall are well illuminated but with total absence of highlighting. The light is spread evenly on all the furniture and walls in the room. Such lampshades go well in almost any room be it a living room, a library or the entertainment room.

Depending on the length of the shade we can add more bulbs strung one below another for stronger lighting. Such shades are also popular in restaurants where table side lighting is needed without obstructing the floor and for convenience. A bar can also make good use of pendant lampshades where dim and mellow lighting is preferred. The shade filters the harshness of the bulb yet allows sufficient light to illuminate the array of wine bottles and glasses placed on the racks and shelves.

At home the pendant lamp shade can be customised with hand prints on the fabric, small dolls and flowers. Even a small wind chime can be added to the shade which would tinkle with the breeze.
A pendant lampshade mobile can be a good option over a dining table using frosted bulbs and plain fabric to match the ambience and decor of the room. 

A chandelier is also a pendant lamp shade with the difference that it illuminates the whole room with light refracted from  crystals that make up the chandelier. In either case the light is mild but the purpose is different. Chandeliers are suited for large rooms like banquet halls and rooms with a high ceiling.

 A pendant lamp shades can be strung even on a low ceiling without any problem. It helps create depth in a small room. A large room can be made to look cosier with such a shade. 

Thus a room can be highlighted to make it look cosy, large or even small. This is possible using a pendant lamp shade.

Lighting solutions - homes.


When we talk of Lighting it means illuminationg the place in a way that it distributes light from a wall scone, ceiling lamp, table lamp or a floor lamp evenly around the place . This place can be a Living room, a dining room, Kitchen, a hall, a porch or a balcony. Al these places need illumination. The choice of the lamp, lampshade, lamp fixture and the lihgt bulb or cfl is descided by the shape, size and utility of the place.
Let us consider a home. A place where the family starts their day and ends it too. So the prime consideration is a pace for relaxation and rejuvenation. Every room in a house when done up properly adds up to a home. Families spend their evenings , rest time and mornings in a home. So Illumination is a prerequisite. Every room is unique in its functionality , its utility and has a distinctive ambience . So the need of proper illumination is necessary. Till date one fixture for all rooms was the norm. But with such a large variety of Lamp shades made in diverse material like cloth, silk, paper, jute, bamboo, weeds and wood there is a unique offering of lamps for each room.

 A Hall can accept a floor lamp, a wall scone, a frame lamp, a celiling lamp, pedestal lamp….

e.g. a living room needs three different types of lighting bright, medium and mellow. High or Bright lighting can be achieved using a direct light source like a ceiling mounted cfl / led array with a suitable reflector for spreading the light all around evenly. This helps light up the roomvery well. Next comes medium level illumination. This can be achieved using a Wall scone with a bulb, cfl or a led fixture behing. This kind of setup cuts any direct glare from the light source. A table lamp with a semi transparent shade will also give a similar effect. Even a translucent ceiling lamp shade can give similar results. Mellow or low level lighting is the most difficult to achieve. Normally a bright lamp is chosen along with a low opacity shade made from Fiber, cotton, jute, cane or bamboo. But such a setup has fire hazard issues. Again a high wattage lamp wastes precious energy adding to golbal warming. If the place is airconditioned the ac system needs to work overtime to negate the heat from the bulb. So there is a need to have a balance between the lamp and the shade. The trick is to use a low wattage energy saving lamp along with a lampshade which allows a lot of light to pass through but still have mellow illumination.
BnB Creation is a leader in this technology and has a large array of lamps and lampshades which use energy sav ing lamps. The lamp itself is made from sustainable resources ad material which do not employ manufacturing processes which are harmful to the environment. The entire lamp is recyclable. Most of the raw material is from plants and tress which are fast growing and are sometimes looked upon as misfits.
The main idea is to design a shade which allows sufficient light through for even illumination without burdening the environment.

FLOOR LAMP

Designer floor lamps are special lamps with particular focus on lighting, aesthetics and looks. Floor lamps are candidates for a dark corner in a room which needs subtle illumination or a room that can do without a bright lamp. Such lamps come as cylinders, cubes, a pyramid or a cone and sometimes as abstract 3 dimensional shapes.

Designer floor lamps are ones made in limited numbers using design ideas and material which is not used on a regular basis. The design for example can be a combination of bird feathers, wood and stone. The result is often stunning and will be an object d’art. Such lamps are hand-made which make them expensive. On the other hand what we get is an almost unique floor lamp. Most floor lamps come in height from 1’ and can be as tall as 6’. 

They are a result of a careful and synchronized coordination between the designer and craftsman. What is drawn on the drawing board must reflect well in the lamp. This is necessary for a floor lamp to qualify as a designer floor lamp.

Floor lamps help illuminate a small room, a staircase or a corner. Whatever the need, a corner lamp can be made to order to address the lighting as desired. The options available are color, choice of fabric, antique or modern, rustic or formal, bright lighting or dim lighting and of course they can be disguised to look like a stone or a tear in the wall. Whatever the demand there is a way to get the desired effect. With bright LED lighting available difficult to light places can be now easily illuminated with a very small compact light source. A pencil thin floor lamp is now possible to design with added advantage of very low energy consumption and adjustable brightness. So there is a possibility of one floor lamp giving out a soft light as well as very bright light. 

Using white fabric and color changing LED array, it is now possible to have a colored lamp. So with new inventions lighting is getting innovative. This concept of creating a custom lamp for a very specific purpose using expensive processes for that stunning lighting experience is designer lighting.
