Are you looking for a new challenge, we are recruiting for the following:

Position: Assistant Lighting Designer/Lighting Designer (depending on experience)

Our partners at Dark are renowned for their original product designs, and the Rond does not disappoint. Its not often that you get a light fitting in finishes such as concrete, marble or granite, and its great that the Rond does. Such design is much loved as it allows designers to match finishes with the other elements of a scheme, and create that much loved continuity.

The Rond range allows you to do this with a choice of surface mounted or suspended versions available in 3 different diameters. The judges for the Mixology 2016 awards must have thought so too, as it has been shortlisted in the Product of the Year Lighting and Tech category.

We are really excited, the Mixology awards take place on the 23 June and we are looking forward to the party! Fingers crossed we have a winner with the Rond!

Last month, we partnered with Paramount Interiors and challenged everyone to show us their festive office decorations on social media.

We were thoroughly impressed with all of the superbly seasonal entries that we received. We’re fairly certain that the prospect of a free crate of wine helped!

We’ve decided to put together our own list of the Christmas creativity that was on show, before announcing who will be receiving some festive spirit in the post!

Williams Lester Architects not only had a wonderfully festive tree but also an impressive pile of presents for a very worthy cause.

That's amazing! And for a good cause too. All those presents…! Well done @WL_Architects https://t.co/C9Nx0ggGMO

Paramount will be sharing a few more examples of the #WinterWorkplaceWonderlands that were received, and also announcing their own winner in a blog. But now it’s time for us to tell you who will be the very happy recipient of a crate of wine. And the winner is… Consider This,who shared their fantastic tree with a seasonal smile. Hopefully our Christmas gift will put an even bigger one on their face!

We are pleased to announce we have partnered with creative office furniture specialists Day 2 Interiors to showcase DARK and Enigma products in their central London office and showroom based in Clarkenwell.

With products on display including the Apollo, Captain Cork, the Tubular and our ever popular LED Filament Lamps it presents an excellent environment to see a collection of our products.

We would love the opportunity to show you these fantastic products. Please contact us at enquiries@enigmalighting.com and we will see you in the new year!

The Christmas lights have been switched on in cities across the UK, our TVs are full of festive adverts and box after box of Christmas lights are being untangled and tested. Which means that in workplaces everywhere people are digging out their tinsel, dusting off their baubles, and dragging out the office Christmas tree.

Now we want you to take a snap of your #WinterWorkplaceWonderland.

Light up your office this Christmas

We’ve partnered with office design and fit out specialists Paramount Interiors to find the finest festive office that the UK has to offer so that we can get into the Christmas spirit.

In our search for some yuletide inspiration, we actually found some examples that represent almost exactly the opposite of what we’re after. Take a look at these incredibly depressing office Christmas decorations and then come back here to show us how it should be done!

Tweet us your tree, take a sparkly selfie of your decorated desks and share your festive office photos with us on both Twitter and Facebook.

Just tag @Paramount_Int and @Enigma_Lighting into your tweets or tag our FB page when you post your photos on Facebook.

And don’t forget to include #WinterWorkplaceWonderland.

Get your photos to us by Monday 21st  December and, to add a bit of festive cheer to your office Christmas party, we’ll pick a winner at random to receive a crate of wine.

LED light fittings are nothing new, but with the technology continuously advancing at such a rapid rate we thought we would take the opportunity to let you know about the fantastic LED range at Enigma.

The reasons for change to LED are now more powerful than ever, with superior light quality, little heat generation and significant savings in both energy and lamp replacement costs (LEDs typically last 13 times the length of an average halogen lamp). Our wide range can be seen here and offers solutions for all applications.

More recent advancements in LED technology have allowed for a very exciting product, the LED Filament Lamp.  A  mains dimmable LED with the comforting look of the classic filament lamp. Our Enigma range has been very well received and is growing to meet the demands of our clients.  A great partner to these lamps are the Enigma range of Cages.

When advising on projects we don’t stop at the light fittings.  More frequently our projects are requiring intelligent lighting controls, applying dimmers and occupancy sensors allows for even larger energy savings.

Now is the time to consider LED, please do get in touch.

 

 

Enigma Lighting’s high CRI LED products provide the bright welcoming retail space required by new Carpetright concept stores.

Carpetright, Europe’s leading specialist carpet and floor coverings retailer, launched four new concept stores this summer, which form the first stage of a national brand revitalisation strategy.

Enigma Lighting were approached by True Story, a creative agency for retailers and brands, to design and supply a fully LED scheme that ensured an average illuminance level of 800 lux using products with a high colour rendering of 90+ to ensure all flooring could be seen in their true colour.

To achieve the base illuminance level throughout the store we supplied our latest 600 x 600 lay in 50w LED panel with a colour rendering value of 92. The panel is both practical and stylish for the retail environment but also low energy with a great true colour output.

Accent lighting onto the displayed merchandise was provided through our directional Maxi Gimbal Twin Recessed fittings (other size / colour options available) and Wave LED Track Spot. Giving both the focus required but also the freedom to adjust through the Track Spot. Both luminares were fitted with the new Osram PrevaLED Z4 COB.

CR C 1  WestThurrock_2015_AS06172

On the two retail park sites where there was an additional double height space. To avoid a warehouse feel within the retail space we used a 12000 lumen CRI 90+ LED High Bay fitting to ensure a welcoming bright space for the retail store.

Finally, we supplied feature pendants in custom finishes over prominent display areas which give the retail environment both practical luminance and a design feature.  All the fittings were pre wired by Enigma prior to delivery to allow for quick and easy installation on site.

We are very proud to have been asked to design and supply the lighting for this project and be associated with such a well known brand, we are delighted with the results

 

We are so lucky to be involved in such great projects.  We have a great selection of these projects on our website.  We have recently added retail projects we were involved in at Steamer Trading Cookshop and Case London.   Please take a look.
