image/jpeg iconThe Moony suspended lamp from LaMurrina uses strip LEDs inside the curved shapes made of white opal blown glass. Here, three of the lamps are hung together to create an eye-catching work of art. www.lamurrina.com [2]
image/jpeg iconDesigned by Todd Bracher for Swarovski’s innovative new Lighting Centerpieces line, the Strandelier has a minimalist design accented by floating crystals. LEDs hidden inside the rings illuminate the fixture. www.architecture.swarovski.com [3]

image/jpeg iconThe Pebble Light from Philips uses a high-powered Philips Ledino LED module that boasts a light output comparable to that of a 40W halogen bulb. This polished, organically shaped light doubles as a piece of art, and is available in chrome, black or white. www.ledino.philips.com [5]
image/jpeg iconThe Brocade sconce, designed for Thomas Lighting by Tracy Koziol, combines traditional design and advanced lamping technology with a floral perforated metal shade illuminated by an ”invisible” LED. Offered in Brushed Nickel and Couture Gold, the collection includes an island light, chandelier, sconce, two pendants and a close-to-ceiling fixture. www.thomaslighting.com [6]
image/jpeg iconLook closely at the cutouts in Corbett Lighting’s Tango fixture and you’ll notice that there’s no visible bulb, thanks to a low-profile LED. This handcrafted iron pendant is available in three sizes as well as a coordinating sconce. www.corbettlighting.com [7]
