LUXA opened its doors in 1999 with the intention of broadening the appeal of silk flamelighting to take it beyond the nightclub scene with which it was most readily associated. The range of products we now have is bigger than all the other flamelight companies in Europe put together but, much more importantly, we make the best silk flames on the planet.
Shipping
For smaller, lighter orders (under 2kg) we use Royal Mail (first class) to get things around the country. Anything larger we send via DHL on a next-day service — some postcodes are more remote than others and this could be extended by an extra day or two in these instances. For other postcodes, such as the Highlands and offshore islands, the shipping cost is greater than the standard charges and we’d need to have a chat over the
‘phone or by e-mail to give you an accurate cost. Please click here for a breakdown of non-standard postcodes.

An Introduction to Silk Flame Effect Lighting
Silk flame effect lighting is not a new concept; patents go back as long ago as
the 1940s, and it seems that it was the advent of the electric fire that stimulated
its development. Twisting or fluttering fabric filaments behind a partially opaque
screen, illuminated by a warm amber glow were the early designs.
It wasn't until the sixties that the re-design of the concept as a simulated fire
in theatreland stimulated a resurgence in the use of flame lights. A third wave
of development came in the 90s with the clubland explosion and its need for sophisticated
special effects in the pursuit of exciting visual entertainment.
Since then flame lights have been adopted by a few niche markets such as exhibition
stand designers, the fireplace industry, and lighting designers for pubs, clubs
and restaurants.
But it is only now that a lightweight, versatile model has been developed for the
domestic market. The Fire
Lamp can be used as an attractive ‘stand-alone’ flame light or easily incorporated
into a legion of designs or mountings to provide user-specific flame-lighting. In
the domestic market, its versatility as an 'electric candle' is as attractive as
it is in the commercial marketplace.
The LUXA range of flame lights covers all requirements from a ‘raging inferno’ making
a splash on an exhibition stand to a flexible little cutie for the table, and a range of others including wall-mounted and battery-powered flame
lamps.
