| History |
In a prophetic speech at the end of the Stockholm Games, on June 27th, 1912, Baron Pierre de Coubertin said:
"And now… great people have received the Torch… and have thereby undertaken to preserve and… quicken its precious Flame. Lest our youth temporarily… let the Olympic torch fall from their hands… other young people on the other side of the world are prepared to pick it up again. The Olympic torch will follow its course for the sake of a word with more faith, courage and purity…"
Familiarize yourself, family, guests and neighbors with the International Modern Lighting Revolution which grew out of Art Nouveau in the 1920s-30s, but unlike Deco it abhorred all decoration. Lets not forget the inspiration of the Olympic Games Torch. During the Olympic Games of the Antiquity, that started at 776 B.C., the Flame that burned in Olympia never went out. The Ancient Greeks held a "lampadedromia" (the Greek word for Torch Relay), where athletes competed by passing on the Flame in a relay race to the finish line. In ancient Athens the ritual was an important part of the Panathenaia fest, held every four years in honour of the goddess Athena. The strength and purity of the sacred Flame was preserved through its transportation by the quickest means; in this case a relay of Torchbearers. The Torch Relay carried the Flame from the altar of Prometheus to the altar of goddess Athena on the Acropolis. Forty youths from the ten Athenian tribes had to run a distance of 2.5 kilometres in total.

| Design |
This one of a kind exclusive design of up, and side lighting with NO down lighting was inspired by the ancient torch of the Olympic games. If you're looking for a landscape or outdoor light that offers NO downlighting with ONLY an up and side light output then you have found it here. And if you are looking for a landscape or outdoor light that your neighbors do not have then this is it. This style also adheres to our interpretation of the Modern Lighting Revolution standards look, feel and function. International Modern Lighting Revolutions prevailing mantra was "function is beauty". Its leading practitioners were architects Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright, joined by he Bauhaus School and Russian Constructionists. The lighting of this revolution is simplicity itself: perfectly formed glass globes of different shapes on simple hanging or flush mounted bells. There were many more superb shapes. They hang suspended like luminous asteroids or space ships, casting a light almost free of shadows. These lights are absolutely the first choice for your home to commercial and industrial buildings and, of course, the ever popular home garden that blends beauty, function and uniqueness. |
