Cooledge is perhaps the coolest new line that Lighting-Unlimited has picked up in a long time. Cooledge is sheets of flexible LED chips that can bend or curve with your imagination.

Cooledge sheets come in two styles, 7mm and 12mm pitch and three different widths. These can be used together or independently to create that look that is uniquely yours.

Further expanding your design capabilities, Cooledge sheets run cool, so you can attach them to almost any surface. And with up to 140 lumens per watt, Cooledge is not just another tape light, it’s functional too.

Perhaps it’s because it’s the Halloween season. Perhaps because it’s fall and the days are shortening, but I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about shadows and how we can use them in lighting design. The lack of light can be just as interesting as the light itself. Using Shadows can create visual interest in spaces that otherwise would be a plain vanilla box. Shadows can also be very detrimental to your lighting design. If you don’t see where the shadow is going to be, it can appear right where your client needs the illumination most. Shadows are something to pay attention to. There are a couple of new fixtures we have that use light and shadow to create interest.
