While visible LED light points aren't desirable in some fixtures, they serve an aesthetic purpose in the Parallax suspension lamp from Tech Lighting. The slim, monolithic piece, measuring 54” long x 37/8” wide, features on its face an asymmetrical arrangement of 30 LEDs that evoke patterns found on a circuit board. Available in a black or white finish, the fixture is constructed of aluminum and acrylic.

Big Bang

Italian lighting company Foscarini has updated one of its past crowd-pleasers with an LED retrofit. Big Bang, originally designed by Enrico Franzolini and Vicente García Jiménez in 2008, evokes an explosion with a seemingly haphazard arrangement of cardlike pieces that interlock and fan out. Constructed from methacrylate, the diffuser comes in white or red.

Bulbous tips of faceted glass with chromed-aluminum stems form the drop-shaped diffusers of the Fairy collection, designed by Manuel Vivian for Axo Light. The whimsical fixture uses LED lamping and comes in a range of formats, including circular or linear suspension with multiple varied-height drops; single-drop pendant; ceiling lamp; or sconce. Each glass diffuser measures 3½” in diameter and is available in transparent, amber, or smoke-gray finish.

SlimStyle LED Bulb

Manufacturers have been looking for ways to design the 60W-equivalent screw-in LED bulb with a reduced heat-sink area for true omnidirectional illumination. Philips has recently launched its solution, SlimStyle, which lights up in the perimeter of the lamp and conducts heat toward the flat surface at its center. The result is improved light distribution and a lighter weight, thanks to the elimination of the typical aluminum heat sink. The dimmable bulb delivers 800 lumens and comes in a 2700K color temperature.

Available in aluminum, white, or custom finishes.

Inspired by water lilies, Nenúfar is a cluster of illuminated discs that cascade down the same chromed-metal stem. Each polycarbonate unit, specifiable in black or white, conceals a strip of LEDs inside its perimeter that deflect off the disc's roof to create a downward glow. Nenúfar can be ordered with one, two, or three discs to a stem.
