Product description: Creating ideal task lighting for grooming activities in the bath space that is also beautiful and elegant was a prerequisite for the design criteria of the Uplift Lights. Designed as both a pendant and sconce, these luminaries compliment the contemporary and minimal style of the Uplift Cabinet and they offer the consumer functional superiority.
There are many examples of bath lighting solutions on the market that do not provide sufficient lighting that is best for grooming activities. The Uplift Lights’ vertical designs feature warm fluorescent task lighting combined with an LED nightlight on the top of the fixture. This design orientation is beneficial to the consumer by carrying sufficient light directly to the consumer’s face and by eliminating shadows. The lighting technology also provides the right amount of lumen output and light color for applying makeup, shaving or other grooming activities. The additional nightlight feature provides soft ambient light projecting upward, which is subtle and inviting for night time visits to the bathroom.
Aside from the functional advantages, the lights are aesthetically pleasing both as a sconce or pendent. The frosted glass diffusers are finished with a white transparent interior combined to create an even glow throughout the fixture. Fine details such as the intricate mesh wire covering and satin anodized metal finishes combine to create a luxurious look and feel for the product.
In addition, the Uplift Lights use technologies that are extremely energy efficient and they are compliant with the strict energy-conserving guidelines of California Building Standards Code (Title 24).
