New Trends in Lighting....Integrated LED's

Lighting like computers is an ever changing field; it's always changing due to the latest technology. In order to be on top of the latest trends, technology, designs & styles - our designers at Distinctive Interiors attend the industry's largest residential lighting show and market "Lightovation" held in Dallas. Spanning 1 million square feet of exhibits at Dallas Market Center, most of the major lighting manufacturers & companies (from the US & abroad) have showrooms there in which they display their latest designs and technologies. This is where we see the upcoming market trends. One of the biggest trends is.... light fixtures utilizing Integrated LED Lighting. This means the light source is actually part of the fixture (no screw in light bulbs are needed). Integrated LED is here to stay and increasing. Generally, these fixtures are stated to provide 50,000 hours of light and the lightsource is part of a driver system located within the fixture. The only negative is ... if the light source burns out, it usually means taking the fixture apart (which isn't always easy) and obtaining a new driver from the original manufacturer OR you need to discard/trash the light fixture as the entire fixture will need to be replaced.

We recommend only purchasing LED Integrated Fixtures from high quality manufacturers and sources. At Distinctive Interiors we only purchase and supply light fixtures (chandeliers, pendants and wall sconces) from companies that we know and have viewed & evaluated in person to review the quality and manufacturing.
