Here is a highlight:

  • The Pendant version has a standard size of 2ft, double and triple heads.

  • NEW: Volta is now available as monopoint with two interchangeable 15 and 50 beam spreads (both included).

REVOLTA is an interesting looking acoustic fixture (playful) with 40% sound absorption. DN $2000 with 3 pendant fixtures.

  • The acoustic panel can also be removed for a fully open design.

CIRC Family:

  • Another one of the original designs. Available for interior and exterior use with different mounting options.

  • Each frosted glass fixture is approx. 6watts with 720 lumens (perhaps initial). Comes as 2700K as standard

  • The pendant model comes as a single or group.

  • The sconce model is now offered as an integrated in a mirror. Great option as a vanity mirror! Available in Oval, Small and Large Round shapes.

  • They have the option to do custom size mirrors and have multiple lights.

BOLS - New family:

  • Powder coated aluminum body with hard-wired and plug-in options.

  • Available for indoor and outdoor use.

  • Blos floor and table lamp come with an optional planter and tray as add-on accessories.

MORSE: Pendant mounted linear tube with 3 heads (short cylinder look). The lights can rotate 320 degree and can provide a good up/down effect.

CUPOLINA:

  • ADA rated. We liked the simplicity of it and think it's a great option for hospitality and residential projects.

  • We discussed the feasibility of adding a on/off switch to the sconce and tabletop models for use as a reading light. Estiluz is reviewing.

FRAME is another table and floor lamp that we liked. The light reflection is pretty. Comes in 3 different sizes. Outdoor rated. DN is $800 to $1000.

General Info:

Dimming is Triac as standard down to 5% (but in reality more like 20%).

0-10V is available for better dimming and just needs to be listed when ordering (not on the cut-sheet).

Not all fixtures are offered in 2700K, although they are considering it. Some outdoor options are offered in warmer 2400K (Nice!)

They have a warehouse in New Jersey for in-stock items. Lead time for available items is 3 to 5 days.

For custom-made and new orders, the lead time is 8 weeks.

MARSET

Today, we paid a visit to the MARSET showroom to look at their expanded indoor and outdoor fixtures.

Overall, the fixtures come in playful colors and unique finishes. One thing to remember is that not all the products are offered in 2700K, although they offered more in this CCT than other decorative manufacturers we’ve dealt with.

They have a couple of new outdoor fixtures, such as the JAIMA pendant, and floor mounted fixture with a flexible fabric shade. We also liked the SANTORINI, a pendant-mounted fixture inspired by the lantern shape with a glass lens and playful finishes. It looks like a modern-looking vapor-proof fixture.

Another interesting fixture that we looked at was the BOHEMIA. We liked the opaque outer finished blown glass which was somehow translucent and provided a nice light effect.
