LightingShowroom Ships 18 Grand Crystal Chandeliers Made by Metropolitan Lighting for Event Operator Premier Party Rentals

Lighting info brought to you by LightingShowroom.com

Boise, ID (PRWEB) March 23, 2011

Premier Party Rentals, is a major supplier of temporary event space in Florida. They supply catering and event organization for projects of all sizes, but the most interesting challenge is to transform very large tents into elegant ballrooms. According to Dennis Birdsall of Premier, "Making a temporary structure magical is all about the details. We have found that an array of crystal chandeliers creates just the mood we want for events that need an elegant and sophisticated venue."

Anita Turner, the LightingShowroom.com project manager said “We have sold a lot of chandeliers over the years but this project is one of the most interesting. Imagine the challenge of transforming a large tent into a fully functioning event space, doing it quickly, and having the end result be visually stunning. Premier does an amazing job with their rental products. In this case they are using 18 Metropolitan crystal chandeliers that are each 43 inches high and 45 inches in diameter. The logistics are like a military operation with many truck loads of material. A large tent is erected and these 18 individually crated chandeliers are hauled in, hung and lit. The final product is a breath taking space complete with a dance floor, kitchen, dining areas, and bar all spectacularly lit by crystal chandeliers. It is a fascinating application of lighting, design, and formidable logistical skill."

Turner continued, "We handle a variety of art and decor lines in addition to lighting and we have supplied a variety of products to Premier in support of their rental operations, but this is the first large scale project designed to be the major visually transforming element for a major venue. We are confident that it will be well received by Premier's customers because of all the lighting types crystal has the capacity to be mesmerizing."

Wickowski said, "LightingShowroom.com is one of the top 5 online retailers of lighting products in the US and has been serving a growing domestic and international clientele of discriminating owners looking for a full service supplier. The Minka Group is one of our foundational suppliers which allows us to focus on meeting the customer's needs and supporting high end domestic and international projects with confidence."

Wickowski explained, "The foundation of our business is customer care. We offer good value in our pricing, but attention to detail, meeting the customer needs, and working hard to anticipate and prevent problems is really what we are about. Value is the combination of quality products, fair pricing, and best in class customer care. Those are the things we work on all the time." She commented that, "There have been large numbers of websites that have begun offering lighting products since the economic crisis hit us all. Many approach the market with the idea that all you have to do is have the lowest price. We have found that our focus on the entire customer experience brings us loyal repeat customers and great word of mouth support which allows us to remain one of the top lighting retailers despite greatly increased competition and a difficult economic situation."

How to clean your lighting

Today's topic: How to clean your lighting. With all of the finishes and types of glass and shades available for fixtures these days, determining just how to clean your lighting fixture without damaging it can be tricky at times. The following tips will prevent any damages and are easy to achieve

  • Be certain that electricity is turned off to the unit before cleaning
  • For metal components, use a soft cloth, moistened with water or a very mild liquid soap
  • Wipe clean and then, for highly polished surfaces, buff with a very soft dry cloth. Under no circumstances should metal polish ever be used as it is abrasive in nature and could damage the protective finish that is placed on most metal parts.
  • Never wash shades in a dish washer.
  • For glass that does not have a textured finish: Line a sink with a towel and fill with warm water and mild liquid soap. Wash glass with a soft cloth, rinse, and wipe dry.
  • For glass that has a faux or textured finish: Simply dust these pieces off as using water could remove the faux finish.
  • For cleaning crystals, the "white glove" method is preferred. Get a pair of soft, white gloves, spray your finger tips with rubbing alcohol and then rub each crystal with your gloved hand to polish them.

One important recommendation is that if you have a fixture with glass shades, you may want to consider purchasing at least one replacement globe to keep on hand in case you should ever break one during cleaning. Should the fixture be discontinued and you find you need new glass this may be your saving grace!

Product Code: 1674bk
I have the large, ceiling, and now the small. It is exactly what fits the decor of our house. Except for the ceiling, the others have to be supported by a wood block, because of the siding on the house. It was not difficult to do and the block is painted the samr color as the house. Two have been on the house for two years, and they look like the new one. Good quality

Calculating the amount of light that you need

Just how do you determine how much light you need for your area? You may know if your existing light is not bright enough that you want something brighter but the key question is "How MUCH brighter". Well, there is a formula that we use in the industry to determine the exact amount in wattage that you need for a specific space. First, you need to determine if you want task or ambient lighting. Most areas where you would want task lighting would be your kitchen, bathroom, laundry room - anywhere that stronger light is needed. To determine the proper wattage for task lighting, you will multiply the areas square footage by 2.5. For example, if your kitchen is 150 square feet x 2.5 = 375. You would want to choose a fixture or series of fixtures that would provide a total wattage output up to 375-watts. Now remember, that you should also factor in the color of the glass or shade if you select a fixture with glass as items with darker colored glass will diffuse the light output to some extent. For ambient lighting, which would be maybe a bedroom, hallway or living room where you may have other light to supplement, you will multiply the square footage of the are by 1.5. Let's say your bedroom is 125 square feet x 1.5 = 187.50 so you would want a fixture that has a total wattage of 187.50 (most likely in this case you would choose either 175-watt or 200-watt output and adjust the bulbs you use accordingly).

Check back with me next week for tips on cleaning your lighting fixtures.

Valenaza Regency gilded gold chandelier Product Code: 1658-479

Product Code: 1658-479
Its hard to choose light fixtures on the internet without seeing it, but I was very nervous about choosing this one. I will say it was a relief when I opened the box and saw it. I had to hire someone to put it up and and wow, it looks so much better in person. It looks very nice even the guys that were putting it up said wow. I made a very good choose. One of the shades were chipped and one was broken. I called and they sent out two new ones right away. The price was very very reasonable. Doing business with lighting room is amazing. I have ordered several times with them and its been hassle free and very satisfying. Thank You
