Lightfair Award Nomination

May 28, 2008 LightFair International in Las Vegas, NV

LightFair International, hosted and sponsored by Architectural Lighting Magazine and eLimit.com, is the event of the year for the lighting industry. Vintage Hardware was nominated for the 2008 LFI Innovation Award in the category of Chandeliers, Pendants, Sconces, Task Lights & Decorative Luminaries. Mentioned specifically was the fixture 92-CCL-CF, the Electronic Compact Fluorescent energy-saving close ceiling fixture. Available with two ECF bulbs with your choice of wattage and kelvin temperature (cool bright or warm white), its classic vintage design combined successfully with the latest "Green Technology" put Vintage Hardware among the forerunners in lighting design.

The fixture is lost wax cast in solid brass, with an antique finish, making it virtually identical in appearance to a turn of the century Empire Style electric light fixture. However, at 6 times less power than incandescent bulbs, the ECF socket makes this vintage style fixture a logical choice for a "green" restoration or new construction. A Victorian or Edwardian look, with "state of the art" technology. Vintage Hardware offers the Empire fixture also as a chandelier mounted by chains or rods, for those with higher ceilings. A complete line of ECF Fixtures rounds out the selection of vintage-looking lighting in styles ranging from Mission, Victorian, and Arts & Crafts design.

                        The winning high-tech light, with an Edwardian look: 92-CCL-2CF.
