The Right Light

Lighting in the Caribbean is often automatically associated with imposing villas and luxury hotels boasting twinkling palm trees and romantically lit grounds. However, away from the beach and the world of hospitality, showrooms, retail, warehousing and offices, which are vital to infrastructure, also need professional lighting and advice. This attention to detail can make or break a project.

Big Ass Fans for Beachfront

Sandbar in Surfers Paradise is about as close to the ocean as a restaurant can be. Its location makes it a popular hangout, but a beachfront location has salt air and harsh weather. 14 standard ceiling fans were failing miserably at keeping the restaurant comfortable. They couldn't produce enough air movement to combat the heat. They were growing rusty, and their rattling was unnerving to customers.

Ticks Every Box

It's a designer's dream when something seemingly simple is discovered to be fully adaptable to incorporate multitudinous specs. The Orluna Air Butterfly is a perfect example of one of these powerhouses - It has a flexible 90-degree tilt making it a key tool for lighting from gradient or vaulted ceilings. The butterfly fixing has the added advantage of a seamless integration on plasterboard.

The Best Lit Pools

Lighting a pool not only adds a seductive ambience, but it also helps sell a property. The best lit pools all follow a couple of simple guides. Pool lights should generally be positioned at mid-height, roughly 9-12" below the surface of the water and pointed away from the property. One of the most common mistakes is using too many lights; average one light approximately every 8' for standard pools, and for free-form shapes, focus instead on a 60° spread.
