Example of a minimalist family room design in Los Angeles

Four VELUX skylights with shades fill this open-plan living room with natural light and fresh air. Remote-controlled, light-filtering shades diffuse sunlight, providing light and temperature control.

Design: Louise Campbell Concept: The fixture emits a primarily downward illumination. The perforated pattern on the shade provides a soft illumination around the fixture. Meanwhile, the perforation helps lighten up the surface of the shade in a decorative way, when it is turned on, thereby maintaining the contour of the fixture, whether it is on or off. The light source is surrounded by an opal diffuser, which ensures that the fixture is 100% glare-free, and that the fixture is suitable for several types of light sources providing the same light distribution and comfort. And finally, the shape of the diffuser allows a beautiful view into the fixture. Finish: White, powder coated. White, powder coated with colored foils. Material: Shade: Spun aluminum, punched and embossed. Suspension: Die cast aluminum. Diffuser ball: Rotation molded PE Plastic. Mounting: Cord type: 3-conductor, 18 AWG white PVC power cord. Canopy: White. Cord length: 12'. Weight: Max 6.6 Lbs. Label: cULus, Dry location. IBEW.
