It probably came about by seeing a need and filling it for a client. Of course, isn\u2019t that where all great invention comes from?<\/p>\n<p>We recently have been working on a project here in the rugged Texas Hill Country where our client wanted a fixture which would just disappear into the landscape, but also had a contemporary design. Their landscape architect showed us a picture of an interesting fixture, but it didn\u2019t appear to be very functional. Yes, looks can be an important element in a fixture design, but if the purpose of the fixture is to safely illuminate a walkway and it doesn\u2019t do the job, then it\u2019s just a piece of art, not a lighting fixture. So we decided to see if we could take the basic concept of their design and turn it into a functional fixture. We took the idea to a local metal shop showed them what we wanted. Twenty-four hours later, there was light! We had a functional fixture incorporating the design elements our client wanted so we could safely illuminate the walkways around her property.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as a result of this innovation, NightScenes will have a new product that we can use again in future outdoor lighting designs, and my local metal shop is getting into the lighting fixture making business! A potentially prosperous outcome for everyone because this client decided to use a\u00a0lighting design company, instead of a company that installs lights.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe your project is special too and needs some out of the box thinking.
