'The World'

By Matthew Stanton

Since time immemorial, man has been able to invent lighting devices for his specific purposes in the streets, offices, homes and even at recreational parks. If you noticed inside the cinema, the lighting effects (no matter how faint and small) add to the wow-sens factor of a theater experience. Some of the lighting materials devised by man include lampposts, incandescent bulbs, fluorescent lights, chandeliers, flashlights and car lights.

The inherent beauty in lights brings in joy to the humble, proud and sundry heart of a human being. A light brings in the feeling of peace, serenity and daintiness to every home. After all, it is by tracing through the path of light that every man seeks in life.

Inside the home, my favorite lighting fixtures are chandeliers. I think chandeliers are critical to the overall look of a room. We have two chandeliers in the house and both are chosen with great care to provide us the desired effect of elegance and glamor to the different rooms. The two chandeliers are strategically placed in our living room and dining area. They are purchased separately three or four years ago and each time I brought along Peter to help me choose for a chandelier. Peter is a family friend whom I can consider a jack of all trade. I personally trust Peters taste and instinct when it comes to hardware materials for the house.



Peter opted for a crystal chandelier in the living room because our living room is spacious
enough for an elegant structure. The crystal chandelier brings in a lot of artistry to the sala. The crystal chandelier is large, intricate and elegant in its design. It occupies almost twice the whole area where our fluorescent light used to be. The crystal chandelier complements well with the living room as the home decor around there jive well with the magnificent source of light. I think the design of the crystal chandelier is of Gothic style because of the elaborate look in the edges.

On the other hand, Peter opted for a smaller-sized wrought-iron chandelier in the dining room. I think it was still a smart suggestion from Peter because our dining area is not as roomy as the living room and we only need minimal source of light in the living room because of the proximity to other sources of lights from nearby rooms. What I like about the wrought-iron chandelier is the solid structural base of the light. You will not feel scared at all that the wrought-iron chandelier will fall down to the floor anytime soon. There is also an attached fan to the wrought-iron chandelier which provides additional source of air to the dining room.

I think there is no great difficulty in purchasing chandeliers in this day and age. The hardware stores all over the country will even give you tips on how to secure appropriate chandeliers for specific purposes. Some hardware stores also opened up online ways to buy their materials so you can choose and have those chandeliers delivered to you after just some clicks on the keyboard.
