Ciao! Another great project completed this time thanks to one of our representatives; Mr.Jeff Vinachi, LC from Certified Lighting Solutions. The Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL besides being a hub for sport fanatics also holds a wonderful art collection at their headquarters in St.Petersburg. We are honored to light the installation for the Duncan McClellan Glass Collection. They are truly beautiful and of course…so are our lights The lights...

We light hundreds of boats but we rarely get to show the world what amazing projects we collaborate on. Today I have a treat for you! We’ve got some interior pictures of a vessel we provided lights for! It’s beautiful and we’re happy to be on it Flamingo Daze All pictures are property and courtesy of Sea Force IX .

Hello! I know I haven’t been writing. I’ve been super swamped. I still have to show you all the pictures from the show! It was a blast! Very, very busy! I wanted to share on the blog a letter I’m sending out to our high end customers. I’m excited about this new line Great opportunities for designers and consumers! Here it is: Dear Customers; Cantalupi USA is proud to provide...

Ciao Cantalupians! Gloomy monday here in Florida. It’s raining non-stop every afternoon here now…can’t wait for “winter”…or whatever it’s called here in Florida when it actually goes below 65 F. I hope it does this year or I’m installing a walk-in freezer at Cantalupi and making that my office…I am determined to wear my winter clothes this year…or else! So anyways…As we are currently working on more and more residential...

Ciao Ladies and Gentlemen! So…sorry I haven’t posted in a bit. While my CEO is off to the 2011 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) I got to go back up to my beautiful New York City last weekend! <3 yay! It was a very much needed visit So now I’m back in the office and I’m getting bombarded with pictures from the CEO showing me what I’m missing…and I’m seriously drooling envy...

Ciao everyone! Thanks for all the comments recently! Glad I’ve kept you reading I want to cover a little bit about IP Ratings and what they mean or are for. Let’s jump right in it then: IP stands for International Protection. Sounds like the secret service a little huh? ;p Anyways; this is basically the “resistance” the fixture has against solids and liquids…which helps obviously since (with lights in our...

Ciao! First of all thank you for all the comments recently Glad we’re entertaining. So; last night I was in the office and as it was thundering and pouring I figured I’d stay and do some more blogging. I was refreshing my mind on what I went over in my little physics 101 lesson. I sketched…seemed easier. I realized light is quite amazing. It’s amazing that mankind got so involved...

Ciao again Cantalupians, I had writers block yesterday and the office exploded with things to do so I decided I wouldn’t post…while running around trying to get everything done in the midst of an under construction obstacle course it seemed like the right choice…blogging is a privilege not a right So; yesterday we had a client show up and there was a question about how many lights could be hooked...

Good morning Cantalupians (heehee) We moved into our new building last winter and have since been scheming to remodel…and the demolition/construction began last weekend. I had almost forgotten that it was going to start this weekend and when I walked in to the office and saw this:   I was a bit taken back until my memory started coming back…monday morning; you know…. Anyways, Monday was “Everyone Is Getting Covered...

There’s definitely something to be said about a designer when they not only get their interior design right but also how well they integrate lighting into it. You will hear time and time again how even the most beautiful spaces can get ruined or go unnoticed because of the lack in lighting. A movie can be grand and full of emotion and great looking actors; and yet not tug on...
