These unobtrusive xenon light fixtures provide outstanding illumination for your counter top workspace.
Recessed and Track Lighting is important for circulation and functionality, and it allows you to express a range of moods throughout every room in your home.
Each type of lighting helps achieve a different look. There are several types of Recessed and Track Lighting to choose from.
Down Lighting
Uniform Down-Lighting
Uniform illumination provides a layer of ambient light typically used to provide general lighting on horizontal surfaces. It is important to note that, while useful, uniform illumination typically has the least visual impact on a space.
Non-Uniform Down-Lighting
Non-uniform down lighting provides the appearance of pools of light and can provide a more interesting visual appearance. Non-Uniform Illumination is generally accomplished with par or MR16 lamps spaced far enough apart so their beams do not overlap. Spacing is a function of the chosen lamp's beam spread and desired effect.
Task Lighting
Providing supplemental illumination over tasks is critical to allow enough light to perform them accurately, efficiently, and safely.
Recessed Task Lighting
Placement of recessed down-lights to facilitate tasks is critical. For counter or work surface tasks, recessed fixtures should be placed between the cabinet face and the front edge of the counter. This position avoids casting of shadows and minimizes veiling reflections.
When lighting paper tasks, down-lights should be placed on each side of the task to minimize glare and veiling reflections.
When lighting tasks in front of people, such as at a table or in front of a mirror, it is important to locate down-lights in front of the person so as not to cast unnatural or unpleasant shadows. Whenever possible, add complementary fill lighting from a diffuse source such as a wall sconce or chandelier.
Decorative Pendants Task Lighting
Decorative pendants provide both functional task lighting and add a visual interest and aesthetic character into a space. Pendants can be used singularly to light over small tables such as in an intimate restaurant or in multiples to light elongated surfaces such as residential kitchen island counters or retail cash wraps or feature displays. For tables, the bottom edge of the pendants should be mounted 30" to 36" above the counter top.
Accent Lighting
Accent Lighting creates high contrast on objects of interest such as sculpture, collectibles, and architectural details. For noticeable visual impact, accent lighting should be at least 3 times as bright as a surrounding area. More dramatic accent lighting requires contrast ratios of 5:1 or greater.
Accent Lighting on flat artwork
Flat art is usually illuminated by a source striking its surface at a 30-degree angle. This eliminates glare from bouncing into a viewer's eye, and prevents the casting of a shadow of the viewer onto the artwork.
Accent Lighting of three dimensional objects
"Key and Fill" is an effective technique for accentuating the three dimensional character of an object. This technique entails the use of key and fill lighting from two sides of the object. Key lighting is a hard accent light used to create shadows and to highlight an object's form and texture. Fill light is a softer light thrown from the opposite side of the object to soften the shadows, making the object appear more natural. Other techniques can also be applied to further accentuate the unique character of an object, such as silhouetting and object from behind.
Floor Lamps add an easy touch of light into any room. Depending on what style you are interested in, Floor Lamps can be classically elegant, a mixture between traditional and contemporary, or chic modern.
Crystal Floor Lamps present the classic as well as the contemporary modern floor lamp, the time-honored silhouettes as well as the exciting designs of today. Quality and craftsmanship are fundamental parts to every crystal floor lamp.

Traditional Floor Lamps
Traditional floor lamps and brass floor lighting are made with timeless designs that will outlast many home decor trends.
T~trak (Tech Trak) is the first-ever hand-bendable, line-voltage track lighting system. The award-winning design features a sleek metal track that can be curved in the field to form practically any shape, while simultaneously providing powerful and versatile illumination options.
To calculate the amount of track you'll need for an organic shape, draw the Tech Trak to scale (for example, ¼" =1'). Use a piece of string to "trace" the drawing. Measure the length of string, then convert from your scale.
Use standoff supports every four feet of a Tech Trak run. For best appearance, place the last standoff 4-6" from the end of the run, and place standoffs symmetrically, altering between standoffs with connector where track sections join together and standoffs without connector in the center of each 8' track section.
A Two-Circuit Monorail offers the same creative options as a traditional monorail system, which allows you to create a unique lighting design using tracks and a variety of lighting elements. However, Two-Circuit Monorail also provides two individually switchable low voltage circuits on a single run.
The first step in designing your Two-Circuit Monorail System is to determine what it is you are trying to light. You'll need to decide where the pendants or elements should be installed to put light where you want it, and which pendants or elements will be controlled by each circuit.
The second step is to draw your Two-Circuit Monorail run. Remember, Two-Circuit Monorail can be shaped by hand to follow architectural details or to create an organic shape. Your run must be placed so it runs directly from beneath the surface transformer or power feed and intersects the locations of all the fixtures. Determine how many pieces of rail you'll need. Add one set of end caps to each end of the run for an elegant finishing touch.
Next, add up the wattages of the lamps you'll be using on the system; this will help you select a transformer. A remote transformer with a power feed canopy provides the cleanest look, but the remote transformer must be installed in an accessible, remote location. The surface transformer simply mounts to a junction box. Two-Circuit Monorail transformers come prewired with either two or four 120 volt input lines to allow for independent switching of the circuits.
Finally, determine how far from the ceiling you want the system to drop. Power feed canopies place the rail two inches from the ceiling; Two-Circuit Monorail surface transformers place the rail six inches from the ceiling. If this drop is shorter than you require, you'll need to add a power extender to your canopy or surface transformer. The maximum standard drop for Two-Circuit Monorail is eight feet.
Select standoffs that match the drop of your power feed to support the system. Adjustable standoffs provide a clean, elegant look. Choose rigid standoffs for curvy runs, or runs with multiple glass pendants. You'll need one standoff for every three feet of Two-Circuit Monorail. The power feed counts as a support, so begin adding standoffs three feet from the power feed.
Note: Power extenders and standoffs are field-cuttable, so it's easy to achieve a custom drop length.
Monorail Chadeliers are creative fixtures that allow you to express your style by choosing from a wide variety of hand blown glass elements. The glass pieces are then placed on a sleek monorail kit. The result is a unique design that can complement your home or work environment.
The first step in designing your Monorail Chandelier is to determine what it is you are trying to light. You'll need to decide where pendants or elements should be installed to put light where you want it.
Next, add up the wattage of the lamps you'll be using on the system: this will help you select a transformer. A remote transformer with power feed canopy provides the cleanest look, but the remote transformer must be installed in an accessible, remote location. A surface transformer simply mounts to a junction box.
Finally, determine how far from the ceiling you want the Monorail Chandelier to drop. The minimum diameter of the chandelier should be about half the width of your table. For rooms with an eight foot ceiling, hang the chandelier so the bottom of the fixture is 30-32 inches above the tabletop.
The first step in designing your Wall Monorail System is to determine what it is you are trying to light. You will need to decide where the elements should be installed to put light where you want it.
The second step is to draw your Wall Monorail run. Remember, Wall Monorails can be shaped by hand to follow a curved wall or soffit. Your Wall Monorail must be placed so it runs directly in front of the junction box if using a remote transformer or within two feet of the junction box if using a surface transformer. Determine how many pieces of rail you'll need. You may add a pair of end caps to the each end of the run for an elegant finishing touch.
The next step is to add up the wattages of the lamps you'll be using on the system. This will help you select a transformer. A remote transformer with a power feed canopy provides the cleanest look, but the remote transformer must be installed in an accessible, remote location. A surface transformer simply mounts to a nearby junction box and requires end or center power feed connectors to bring power from the transformer to the run.
Finally, you will have to add standoffs. You'll need one standoff for every three feet of Wall Monorail. The power feed canopy counts as a support, so begin adding standoffs three feet from the power feed canopy.
The first step in designing your Kable Lite system is to determine what it is you are trying to light. You will need to decide where the pendants or elements should be installed to put light where you want it. Determine the cable separation of the run. Generally, the higher the ceiling, the wider the cable separation can be.
We recommend the following:
Ceiling height
Cable separation not to exceed
8'
3.5"
9'
5.5"
10'
8"
Different fixtures have different cable separation requirements, so make sure the fixtures you've chosen are compatible with the cable separation.
The second step is to draw your Kable Lite run. Remember, Kable Lite is designed to make straight lines and simple turns. The cables must be placed so they pass over the locations of all the fixtures. Kable Lite surface transformers and power feed canopies have 24" feeds, so your Kable Lite run must pass within two feet of the junction box. Determine how many feet of cable you'll need.
Finally, add up the wattage of the lamps you'll be using on the system; this will help you select a transformer. A remote transformer with power feed canopy provides the cleanest look, but the remote transformer must be installed in an accessible, remote location. The surface transformer simply mounts to a nearby junction box. Kable Lite power feed canopies and surface transformers have 24' feeds; if this drop is shorter than you require, or if you prefer the look of hardware, you'll need optional hard wire feeds. We recommend putting a pair of turnbuckles on each side of the run for visual symmetry. You will not need to add supports to your run unless it's long (over twenty feet) or has heavier elements (such as glass pendants.)

The most important factors that contribute to how often your Crystal Chandelier needs to be cleaned are the location, type of crystals, and the shape of the crystals. A Crystal Chandelier hanging in a foyer trimmed with Swarovski Strass Crystals, which are finished with an optical coating that repels dust and other airborne particles, is both easier to clean and could be done less frequently, while a Crystal Chandelier trimmed with hand cut crystal pendeloques in the same location will show more dust and require frequent cleanings.
To determine if your crystals need to be cleaned, look at your light fixture. If the crystals seem to be dull or have a layer of dust coating them, refer to the cleaning techniques below.
Note: Prior to using any crystal cleaning techniques listed below, unplug and turn off the power source to your crystal light fixture and allow all bulbs to cool.
Cleaning Techniques
Grand Light has been a leading source of crystal light fixtures for over 70 years, and in that time, we have perfected the art of cleaning and maintaining crystals. Here's how we recommend you do it.
Latex Glove Method: This technique is best used when particle and dust coating is minimal and does not require the crystals to be removed.
Start off by preparing a solution consisting of one part isopropyl alcohol to three parts distilled water in a spray bottle. Next, don your latex gloves and spray the solution on to a lint free cleaning cloth. To reduce the chance of spotting from excess solution, avoid spraying the crystals directly. To ensure proper cleaning, each crystal should be done one at a time.
Crystal Removal Method: This technique is best used to remove the dust that has been building up over the years and requires a bit more effort to clear away.
Begin by placing a soft towel or blanket down on a level, safe location. Next, remove all trims and finish pieces that will prevent you from removing the crystals. Once this is completed, remove the crystals and place them on the towel or blanket. Upon removal of the crystal, hand wash them in mild dish soap and lukewarm water. Rinse the crystals in warm water and allow them to dry. Remember to wear gloves when placing them back on your Crystal Chandelier or any other crystal light fixture to reduce finger prints and other grim.

The heart of every crystal chandelier or crystal adorned light fixture is the crystal itself. Each crystal represents the difference between choosing a light fixture of heirloom quality that completes the room or one that lacks warmth and will soon become just part of a room. Since the significant cost of a crystal chandelier is in the quality of the crystals that will adorn it, understanding the different types and shapes of crystals is necessary. When selecting your crystal options, consider that the type or grade of a crystal determines the clarity, color density, and light dispersion. To help with your selection of crystal grades, the most popular options are listed below.
Swarovski Strass Crystal:Regarded by leaders in the industry as the finest crystal in the world, Strass crystals are acclaimed for possessing the highest levels of both clarity and internal flawlessness. Possessing a lead content that exceeds 30%, each Strass crystal is first cut by a machine to ensure that each facet meets precisely at one focal point to achieve optimum refraction and produce an optically pure prism. After machining, each crystal is hand polished and given an invisible optical coating that not only makes it easier to clean and maintain, but actually repels dust partials. To ensure buyer protection, each Strass crystal is laser etched with the official Swarovski Strass logo.
Swarovski Strass Crystals in Fashion Colors: Almost as famous for their innovation as they are for their crystals, Swarovski has taken their renowned Strass crystals and has added color options using a technique that does not degrade the look or finish of the crystal, but actually enhances the existing faceting, clarity, and shape. Featuring over 15 different color choices, Swarovski makes it possible to match and compliment your exsisting color palette and still dress your crystal light fixture with the highest quality of crystals.
Swarovski Spectra Crystal: Manufactured in Austria by Swarovski, Spectra crystals offer an affordable Swarovski crystal option. Each Swarovski Spectra crystal is created and cut in a process similar to the Strass crystals. However, Spectra crystals are differentiated from Strass crystals as they are not made with lead, do not come with an optical coating, and are available in different shapes and sizes.
Precision Crystal: Laser cut and machined polished, Precision crystals are manufactured with a lead content level of 30% or more. Using only the highest quality precision cutting machines, each crystal is cut for optimal light dispersion and clarity.
Imperial/Regal/Gem-Cut/Royal Cut Crystals:
Blending a quality look with a great price point, Imperial, Regal, Gem-cut, and Royal Cut crystals are created by artisans world wide and match some of the most flawless crystals made by high quality manufactures. Each type of these luminous crystals are for the discerning customer who appreciates fine craftsmanship at a moderate price.
Venetian Crystal: Using the same time-honored techniques that has been perfected over generations, Venetian glass comes from the historic glass making region around Venice, Italy. Molded and fire polished instead of being machine or hand cut, Venetian Crystal possesses a subtle beauty-- soft and graceful-- that has a look and feel of it's own. Compared to cut crystal, it is moderately priced.
