Lumen 8: Creating Spaces With Impact
Brightening up your home doesn’t end with your choice of light pendant. On the contrary, the smaller details work together to create an impactful space. Take for instance this gorgeous selection of switches to bring a contemporary flair into your everyday space, now available from Lumen 8.
Control your home’s lighting and power with a simple switch, but this very same switch can also lend your room a modern ambience. Lumen 8 understands the importance of making an impact with even the smallest of design details, like light switches. They have been in the business for over 20 years, first designing and producing light fittings with a commission from the developers of Heritage Square in Cape Town to design and supply wall lights. Following on from this, in order to compliment light fittings, they designed a range of light switches and as the saying goes, the rest is history.
5 ways to make a bigger impact with your switches
- Consider the overall look you want to achieve in the room as a whole.
- Think about the materials you are using in other areas of the room and how these can tie into your new light switch.
- What colours do you prefer? Will these serve as accent tones in your room?
- Functionality – do you need power outlets, USB outlets, switches or more?
- Style – traditional, modern, vintage or classic? Let this direct your choice.
The possibilities are endless when incorporating modern materials and colourways to suit a trendy interior design. Lumen 8 know that there are certain complexities involved in selecting light switches, dimmers and socket outlets, and that’s why they are dedicated to finding ways of refining both the process and product to make the customer experience an enjoyable, stress free one.
Today they have major premises in Paarden Eiland, Cape Town where Lumen 8 manufactures special bespoke switchgear. This is also their administrative headquarters with additional offices in Johannesburg.
Contact the team and let them help you create an impact in your next interior project.
