The Crystal Symphony cruise ship is another excellent example of how diverse we have become in our 30 years of manufacturing bespoke lighting.

Northern lights embraced the challenges, design restrictions and limitations that make marine lighting so enjoyable. Working with AD Associates and numerous contractor teams, we developed fittings that could deal with the usual visual and functional constraints such as budgets, tight lead times, aesthetics and ease of installation. But we also balanced the considerations needed specifically for marine lighting such as vibration reduction, sea salt retardation and stability under pressure.

The main bespoke pendants used mirror polished stainless trim plates. This was an effective way of doubling the perceived height of the fitting when ceiling height was a premium.

We also developed the bespoke floor lamps and custom wall lights in various areas to avoid an over-engineered look, thus delivering a balance of function and elegance.

When visiting the cruise ship while in dry dock pending refurbishment, you can truly appreciate the scale and challenges that face the architects, interior designers and contractors. Overseeing the installation in Germany, with numerous international teams further showcases why we indeed are a UK lighting manufacturer that cares about our extraordinary customers.
