As the nights draw in and the days grow shorter, lighting takes
on a special meaning across the world. Autumn festivities during October and
November bring warmth, connection, and hope to communities everywhere, whether
it’s from the golden glow of Diwali lamps in India or the fiery skies of
Bonfire Night in the UK. Lighting allows us to bring the spirit of these festivities
into your home. Soft, intimate glows provide a moment of calm for reflection,
while extravagant statement lighting stirs the excitement and wonder from a
firework filling the night sky.
Candles: Symbols of Spirit and Remembrance

Candles have long been used to represent purity, prayer, and guidance.
During Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, families in India and around the world decorate their homes with small lamps called diyas to celebrate the triumph of light over darkness.
In nearby Nepal, Tihar brings similar scenes. Homes are illuminated by candlelight and oil lamps as people honour gods, animals, and family bonds.
In Mexico, candles illuminate
colourful altars during Día de los Muertos, guiding the spirits of loved ones
back home for a joyful reunion.
LED bulbs with a colour temperature of 2700K or lower can be used to replicate the warm glow of candlelight. Display clusters of lamps while avoiding harsh overhead lights to create a sanctuary within the home that offers an opportunity for reflection.

Lanterns: Gestures of Peace and Guidance

Lanterns, often handcrafted and beautifully decorated, are used across Asia and Europe during autumn celebrations.
In Northern Thailand, the sky is filled with thousands of glowing lanterns during the festival of Yi Peng. Releasing these lanterns, called Khom Loi, is symbolic of driving away bad luck while blessing the upcoming new year.
Similar
to Yi Peng, the festival of Loy Krathong involves releasing floating lanterns
into water to pay respect to the Goddess of Water and the Buddha.
In parts of Europe, Saint Martin’s Day sees children
parading through streets with paper lanterns, spreading warmth and kindness as
winter approaches.
Lanterns can be used as a gesture of peace, gratitude, and
guidance. Lamps with a soft, glare-free glow create a tranquil environment in
the home, while fabric or paper shades pay homage to traditional lanterns used
throughout history.

Fireworks: Symbolic Displays of Hope and Prosperity

In the United Kingdom, fireworks light up the skies during
Guy Fawkes Night. Cold November evenings are transformed into displays of joy
and excitement as the sky is filled with bright colours and sound.
Fireworks are also an essential part of Diwali, used to symbolise
victory, prosperity, and renewal.
Extravagant lighting designs can capture the awe and wonder
that fireworks create. Seemingly random suspensions light echoes the
unpredictable nature of the explosive displays. In large spaces, install
clusters of suspensions to create a showstopping display that will leave a
lasting impression.

Decorative Lights: Modern Expressions of Celebration

While traditional flames still hold deep meaning, decorative lights have become modern expressions of celebration. Halloween embraces its own luminous creativity, from glowing pumpkins to neon-lit decorations that set spooky scenes.
These contemporary displays continue the ancient story of transforming darkness into beauty, using light to connect communities and inspire joy.
Decorative lights have a bold, sometimes playful,
personality. Display throughout the home to provide ambient lighting, add a
touch of beauty, or even an essence of humour to the room.
