Lamps & Lighting There are many lamp types available which all have their unique features and benefits and characteristic areas of application. An understanding and appreciation of which lamp type is fit for purpose is required when making this selection. Lamp properties:► efficiency (lamp lumen per watt) ► colour temperature
The considered fusion of lamp properties is essential to ensure that the lighting meets all criteria from visual composition to compliance with regulatory standards and recommendations. Regulations and design standards direct certain routes towards lamp selection to ensure the correct efficiencies are achieved relative to defined spaces. Visual aesthetics determine what lamp characteristics are necessary to achieve dynamic illuminated environments. Our design team can assist in proposing lamps which will be appropriate and effective in lighting your project.
► colour rendering ► lamp life
LED technology is progressing at a rapid rate with efficacies and light outputs being driven higher and higher. With our close relationship with global LED manufacturers we can ensure that we can offer the latest LED design specifications.

The Hilton Baku ara design 5m diameter glass and crystal pendant
northern lights
In terms of epic design and installation jobs, they do not come much bigger than The Hilton, Baku. Harry Gregory of ara design, London, approached us with the following brief.... "What we have is a 12 metre diameter atrium running from the lobby to the top of the building - a distance of 68 metres. What I want is a large fitting in the centre of this space which has to look light and airy and terminate about 7 metres above the lobby floor. It needs to be about 5m in diameter." Our designers frantically set to work. This installation created three separate problems. Firstly, how would we make the main body of the fitting from which the glass crystal would be suspended? Secondly, how would we suspend the fitting safely? And lastly, how would we install it, specifically the glass? It was eventually decided that we would use crystal shapes suspended from a plate and that the fitting needed to be 7.5m from top to bottom. A tall order in more ways than one! These three problems were tackled by our three designers and resulted in this breathtaking design that we are confident fully met the brief. One designer worked on the suspension, another on the suspension plate and the third on the glass arrangement. Two site visits to Baku to liaise with the main contractor and a visit to our Chinese glass factory ensured that the installation went smoothly and professionally, proving that no bespoke job is too big or too complex for Northern Lights!

The Hilton Baku ara design Bird’s nest pendant for all day dining area
northern lights
Versatility is a key factor in our success. We do not limit ourselves to common processes or materials, which offers our customers complete, creative freedom. We will endeavour to realise our customers’ concepts however unconventional or radical and we will work closely with the design originator to ensure that what we manufacture reflects and retains their intent. ara design were appointed as interior designers and space planners for Hilton Baku, for which they designed a series of unique bespoke lighting products. From the initial design sketches it was clear that what was required was a large pendant with an organic feel.The first challenge was to get the basic shape of the pendant to work within the space. The second challenge was how to create this and make it look random and organic without it losing its structural integrity. This all day dining pendant is a large, sculptural basket form, which is entwined with custom-made, aluminium wire with a bronze applied finish and individual faceted crystals. Each supporting arm is hand-shaped and retained with a series of concentric bracing rings. It became known as the bird’s nest pendant.

Blacksheep Jamie’s Italian, Islington Industrial feature pendants
northern lights
When Jamie's Italian was first conceived, the starting point was to recreate what Italians are most proud of - fantastic, rustic dishes, served in an environment with a "neighbourhood" feel, inspired by the "Italian table" where people relax, share, and enjoy each other's company. Jamie's Italian was designed to be accessible and affordable, a place where anyone is welcome and everyone will feel comfortable. For the Islington restaurant Blacksheep’s creative team designed a dynamic lighting scheme, with the key focus on two lighting elements. To generate visual presence and drama, Blacksheep proposed two statement chandeliers to define spaces within the restaurant. A geometric ‘lattice’ tile, repeated over a series of vertical and horizontal arrays formed the core principle of the chandeliers. With Islington’s chandeliers the route to manufacture was achieved by using individual laser-cut steel panels, welded together to form an open cube which was then repeated again and again, with one cube being welded to the next. A time-consuming method of assembly, but one which displayed the ‘raw’ look that Blacksheep required. A total of 414 panels were used to form 82 open cubes which completed two visually complex chandelier structures. The chandeliers were finished as ‘blackened’ steel, demonstrating a rustic effect

The bespoke fittings create a lively but intimate atmosphere in the restaurant emphasising its unique oriental character.
Twisted glass ceiling lights In the open-plan kitchen, Northern Lights used a tapered sculptural glass tube ceiling light to make a distinctive, visual statement. The fitting comprises more than 120 glass tubes, which are individually suspended on thin wires from the ceiling plate and illuminated by the downlight placed at the end of the tube. The curved tubes diffuse the light to create gentle sparkles, adding a soft touch to the busy kitchen area.
Glass ball ceiling light 3 metres long and 1.7 metres wide with striking red and yellow glass spheres, the fitting is a sensational focal point. Situated next to the giant jellyfish tank, the bright colours create beautiful reflections. With GU10 LED as the light source, the fitting is also an energy-efficient lighting solution.

Glass ball ceiling lights Inspired by the Christmas balloons in Regent Street, the interior designer had the idea to develop organic lighting structures that simulate floating balloons. Northern Lights turned the concept into reality. Glass spheres of different sizes were placed at different levels to generate the organic shape and allow the light source to be concealed. The fittings inject a feeling of celebration as well as complementing the rich Art Deco interior of the hotel. The luminaires were wired with a complex series of circuits which provided random sectional dimming, offering an array of potential lighting effects Northern Lights also supplied the floor lamps and the bedside table lamps in the Executive Lounge.

northern lights
Many high street brands employ a selection of consultancies to design their interior spaces. This results in individual sites having their own unique identities and where necessary retaining a common theme through elements which are corporate specific. In the demanding world of hospitality, enticing and keeping customers is essential and an integral tool to achieving this is good design. Ask Restaurants are a key example of how this strategy is employed. Their bold, fresh, architectural spaces are all distinct, but brand recognition is evident through subtle design statements which reinforce their identity. For designers to achieve this result successfully they must be confident that their design freedom is not restrained by manufacturing limitations. The diverse range of manufacturing techniques which Northern Lights employs, offers designers and architects ultimate freedom to innovate creative schemes. With our extensive manufacturing facility we can accommodate the production of lighting elements in a broad array of materials and finishes.

Working with K.D. Paine & Associates, Northern Lights helped transform an old Art Deco cinema into a popular pub, paying homage to its original style with new Art Deco feature pendants. J.D.Wetherspoon's ‘Peter Cushing’ in Whitstable opened in August 2011 with the entire decorative lighting scheme manufactured by Northern Lights. Situated in the main entrance area, this square Art Deco pendant perfectly fits its elegant surroundings. The Art Deco theme is continued in the main bar. The versatile and accurate properties of the laser cutting process allowed our designers to convert master images of the carpet pattern to sketch entities using our 3D computer software, SolidWorks. The profiles were then cut to create the basis of the three hexagonal feature pendants and the lights above the bar, thereby enabling the strong theme to be maintained throughout the interior. All light fittings were designed to order, constructed and finished at our factory in Chesterfield.

Spud-U-Like wanted an interior that is fresh and lively as well as reflecting its retro style and healthy eating concept. The 12 custom-made pendants with light brown and cream shades were designed to add fun to the restaurant's funky retro style. Harmonising with the green walls, the pendants also create a natural accent that gives customers a warm and welcoming feeling. The carefully chosen colours - light brown and cream – reflect the colour of the crispy skin and soft centre of the jacket potato. Northern Lights intended the pendants to show the unique personality and brand of Spud-U-Like.
