PLATTSBURGH, NY — Small is beautiful this spring with the appearance of new Da Vinci™ LED in select lighting showrooms across America.
“When we unveiled our monumental Da Vinci™ LED chandelier last year,” said President Andrew Schonbek, “it was a huge hit. But at 3 or 5 feet in diameter, it had limited applications. Homeowners and condo dwellers were hungry for smaller sizes. So we charged our most creative engineers to package our complex LED light show into a pint sized crystal sphere.
“The Schonbek factory floor started looking like an electronics plant with people in white coats moving around among the anodes and cathodes. We not only downsized successfully. We had a breakthrough that gives the consumer infinite possibilities for color mixing.”
The new Da Vinci™ LED chandelier comes with a choice of pre-programmed light shows. But there are also instructions included on how to create custom programs. Homeowners can get as creative as they wish. Color sequences can be intense or subtle, primal or pastel – or anything in between.
In diameters of 60, 36, 24 and 18 inches, Da Vinci™ has a halogen mode for white light, as well as an LED mode for the colored light show. But the new 10, 12 and 15-inch chandeliers are powered purely by energy efficient LEDs.
Hundreds of LED elements come off two separately programmable circuits rather than one. “This is why,” said Schonbek, “we can produce colors of such richness and refinement.”
Even the smallest Da Vinci™ LED chandeliers are a dense composition of fine crystal. Depending on the size of the sphere, hundreds or thousands of crystal octagons of varying sizes are precisely positioned to emanate the utmost spectral brilliance.
Consumers have a choice of Strass® or Swarovski® Spectra® crystal. Although composed of the finest crystal in the world, Da Vinci™ LED is dishwasher safe. It comes apart in sections to fit into a standard dishwasher.
