3 Top Lighting Movers and Shakers in UK (via LUX Magazine)

This week we are focusing on a section in the Lighting Industry Association magazine LUX for April 2013 - the Best of British lighting movers and shakers. From this list we have recognized at least three of our own lighting manufacturers and suppliers: Aurora Group, Illuma Lighting, and Danlers (read more on this topic in an article last week - Lux Magazine's 2013 UK Lighting List).

Even though more and more light fittings and lighting controls are "made in China", we are proud to support British Businesses and British Lighting manufacturers. At Sparks Electrical we pay much attention to the quality of the light fittings we distribute, and not only the price. Take a look at three of the biggest Movers and Shakers in the UK Lighting Manufacturing Industry.

Aurora Group - Big and getting Bigger

One of the top lighting manufacturers in the UK, Aurora Group operates not only in the UK but worldwide. They make pretty much everything related to lighting, from lamps to power equipment, from luminaires to lighting controls and transformers. You can purchase some great Aurora downlights and transformers by visiting, Aurora Lighting section.

Danlers - the Controls Champion

You have definitely heard about Danlers, the British company which makes passive infrared occupancy switch modules, time-lag modules, and dimmer modules for OEMs to mount on their own wall or ceiling plates. They can be called "the Controls Champion", and you can find them on our website with a selected range via, Danlers PIR Controls.

Illuma Lighting - Spotlights in the Spotlight

Famous for their spotlights and track systems, Illuma Lighting serves both retail, commercial, and leisure lighting sectors. They offer a grand 5 year warranty on all their products, and recently they have been working on more LED spotlights and track spots.

One of the most appreciated manufacturers of recessed downlights is Aurora Lighting, and they are constantly coming out with new ranges of LED downlights and other energy saving fittings. Today we would like to introduce you some of the most popular Aurora Tilting recessed downlights at Sparks.

They may not be the newest in this category but they are definitely the most popular ones. These adjustable / tilting downlights are ideal as interior spotlights at home, in the office, in conference rooms, in waiting rooms, etc. What they share in common is the feature of allowing you to re-direct the light beam - the lamp is tilting / tiltable / adjustable to an angle.
