Orbital Lamp Planning

Location

Hanging from the interestingly-shaped ceiling above the landing of a two-flight set of stairs. General surroundings: white walls and balustrade, oak banister, red and biscuit carpets, oak skirting boards and doors. Other lighting is ‘warm white’ diffused LED panels in the ceilings.

The inspiration

Concentric wooden hoops hanging at odd angles, suspended with cords/wire and with diffused LED strips inside. Delicate and elegant.

Brief

We’ve got some lovely wooden hoops, but we need to find the right lighting!

• 3 x LED strips of different lengths
• Warm white lighting
• Diffused!
• Flexible
• Power via thin cables

We can add a box to hide transformers against the ceiling, but the hoops themselves should be as slim and elegant as possible.

Details

The strips could be broad, and cover the inside surface of a single ring (left), or be narrow, throw light sideways, and sandwiched between the two parts of the embroidery hoop (right).
