Lumiere Landscape Lighting - Award winning design

The best product ideas come from the professionals that use them. As a result, Lumiere fixtures have been developed and refined in collaboration with the lighting design community. This philosophy, coupled with an uncompromising commitment to innovation, quality and value, has produced an impressive roster of patents and industry awards for outstanding fixture design.

PREMIUM MATERIALS Lumiere strives to use only the finest materials available. Time- honored architectural materials such as brass, bronze, copper and stainless steel, each selected specifically for their beauty and natural corrosion-resistance. Fixtures constructed from these materials also exude a warmth and splendor unlike any painted finish. Brass, bronze and copper will  - over time - develop a natural, protective patina that will further enhance the beauty of the finish while extending the life of the fixture indefinitely. For applications where fixtures also serve as physical design elements these materials may be selected to match or compliment other architectural finishes, both indoors and out.

While brass, bronze, copper and stainless steel provide the highest level of corrosion-resistance, they are not practical or cost efficient for all types of products or projects. A viable, cost- effective alternative is aluminum. It can be formed by any one of several processes, which will accommodate most fixture designs. For these reasons, aluminum continues to be the material of choice for landscape lighting fixture design. But not all aluminum alloys are equal. Lumière strives to use solid 6061- T6 aluminum billet or extrusion wherever possible.

MACHINED 6061-T6 ALUMINUM 6061-T6 aluminum is so pure that it cannot be cast. It must be machined on CNC (Computer Numeric Control) equipment. While this material and process is more expensive than producing aluminum castings, machined 6061-T6 aluminum components deliver a level of corrosion-resistance and specification tolerances not available in a cast product. As a result, precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum provides corrosion-resistance approaching that of brass, bronze, copper and stainless at a cost closer to that of cast aluminum.
