LIGHTING CONSULTANTS AND LIGHTING DESIGNERS

Lighting can make or break an interior. You can have the most beautifully designed house but if the lighting is wrong it won't do it justice. Similarly, you can have a relatively simple interior but with well considered lighting you can create a wonderful tranquil atmosphere at the same time allowing for crisp and effective task lighting. We can help you plan the lighting for one room or for a whole new build project from initial concept through to supplying detailed specifications for the electricians and selling the fittings if required. This is not a pre-requisite; we are happy to plan with no obligation to purchase through us although our prices are competitive in this field as well. Design projects are generally in Cornwall and the Southwest where we are based although we have been involved in schemes in London, Peterborough and Guernsey to name a few. We have even supplied lights to clients in Kenya!
We supply an enormous range of lighting from lighting manufacturers and lighting suppliers from all over Europe and the UK although these are not listed on our website as they are to order.
We are happy to discuss your project further so do contact us to learn more about our service.

Christmas 2010


Of course we should have been writing regular blogs over the past years but we have been so busy that there never seemed to be time. The doors of our Illumina shop in Truro were closed in the summer and although it was sad to say goodbye to New Bridge Street and all our wonderful customers, nothing stays the same. We now concentrate on our lighting design service, which had become the driving force of the shop over the last few years, and have also set up our new company and website The Wooden Lamp Company (www.thewoodenlampcompany.co.uk). These are lamps made from sustainable wood that we have designed and produced ourselves and co-ordinate with vibrant shades to add a bit of wow to a room.
Meanwhile we have been busy designing projects in Fowey, St Mawes, Peterborough and Guernsey to name a few. Some jobs rather far flung but generally our work has been within Cornwall.
We're now based near Devoran and work on a more flexibly basis so if you would like to come and see us do contact us beforehand to ensure we can be there to meet you.
We would like to wish all our clients and customers, past and present a wonderful Christmas and prosperous and healthy New Year.

September Update

Having had a relaxing (but somewhat rainy!) summer break we have now all come back to Illumina feeling revived and ready for our busiest season of the year. The shop has had a bit of a revamp with our feature wall being re-papered in Susie Hoodless wallpaper and a fresh new leather sofa ready for customers to use when they are looking at our numerous catalogues or discussing lighting design schemes.

During the summer various lighting consultancy work was completed including a newbuild property in Feock and the Well Dental practice where we installed energy efficient wall lights and ceiling lights which, apparently have been very popular. We are pleased with them as well but are not sure that the photos here totally do them justice.

More lighting design work under way and lots of new stock arriving, including some lovely colourful mini Tolomeo desk lamps by Artemide - a rainbow of colour and fun at the same time as being very ergonomic. We're also bringing in some linen cushions in colours to match!

Christmas stock on it's way now and some already out on display.
