High Performance Ceiling Fans with Lights - retractable fans by Fanaway

A high performance ceiling fan is such a useful thing to have, but you don’t need to keep it on display when not in use, just collecting dust. That’s why these retractable high performance fans from Fanaway is such a fabulous idea! When you switch off the fan function, the blades automatically retract, leaving you with a great-looking suspended light pendant. When the fan is switched on, a centrifugal force gracefully extends the aerodynamic blades out to circulate air around the room. Although set to become a firm family favourite, you can rest assured that the blades of the fan are made from moulded recyclable plastic. De-clutter and keep cool this summer with these ceiling fans with lights - EVO1 Prevail from Fanaway.

Lighted Mirrors - customizable LED lighted mirror is new from Seura

The creative flair of a bathroom can be created with details… such as these fantastic lighted mirrors from Seura. New for 2009, these additions to the Lumination Collection are a focal point for your contemporary / ultra modern bathroom. Or, try the look elsewhere in the house for a surprisingly futuristic centrepiece. LED lighting means that these mirrors are customizable – you can choose from a rainbow palette of colors at any time, and also control the brightness. Turn up the intensity to make a bold statement, or turn it down for a comforting, soft nightlight effect. Likewise, you can choose from ingenious lighting effects such as the Jaxon (shown here), Tron and Aeon which all sport a pair of LED-lit stripes running up either side of the mirror. Halo, on the other hand, glows from behind the whole way round. The Big Talker mirrors deliver a cute message ‘Hello’ or ‘Wash Up’. Contact mirror specialists Seura to learn more about their lighted mirror collection.

Decorative Light Switch from Berker - Swarovski Crystal switch

It could seem rather decadent to use a Swarovski Crystal as a light switch (available at Berker), but it surely is a covetable piece to own. No wonder it is the winner of the "Design Plus Award 2008". This decorative light switch would shine beautifully on the wall, while keeping its original function intact. What stands behind the polished crystal shell is a complex optical detection system to make it work properly. Also, the Swarovski switch can be put to good use not only to turn on and off the light, but to manipulate other household items too. It’s extremely interesting to see how highly utilized objects can be added a touch of glamour we never thought possible. In these terms, thinking about it as a new, decorative jewelery for the wall, is a tempting idea. This switch is produced and customised by Berker.
