Holtkotter ~ 9621/15 & 5145/4

We just had a visit from Jim Toole, our rep for Holtkotter Lighting. Holtkotter is a German company that has the most fabulous designs. You might get the feeling if you read this blog that I'm in love with all the new possiblities with LED lighting? Well check this out:

Holtkotter was really the first to have the adjustable, long pendants like this. Recently a lot of people have knocked them off, but their hardware and design is always top-notch and is never really knocked off very well. This LED piece has that wonderful pull-down capability, and it's the first one of its kind that I've seen. It comes in 4 finishes: Satin Nickel, Chrome, Hand-Brushed Old Bronze, & Brushed Brass. It emits 1350 lumens, but it only uses 28 watts! Amazing!

My other new favorite from them is this gorgeous drum shade pendant:

I know a lot of people have drum-shaded pendants, but this one speaks to me for some reason! It has what we call a 6-way lamp feature ~ it has a 3-light cluster plus 1 more socket towards the top, all which take 100-watt lamps, with two pull-chains to operate them. So you can have 1, 2, or 3 of the light bulbs in the cluster on, and then you can pull the other chain to have the 4th bulb on top come on. This one also comes in 4 finishes: Satin Nickel, Hand-Brushed Old Bronze, Antique Brass, & Polished Brass/Brushed Brass. There are also 4 shade options: Kupfer, Kupfer Diamond Logo, Satin White, & Satin white Diamond Logo. Gorgeous!
