If you're new to lighting, here's a 5-step guide to familiarise yourself with, before you start on your renovations or commercial projects.
1. Not just tech — Controls that actually improves your quality of life
LTECH, our smart home automation system powered by Sol-T is our latest extension to Sol Luminaire®. More than just addressing the market demands of intuitive appliances, our team of whizzes running Sol-T aids you in your smart home systems from start to end.
LTECH runs scenes that follow real life scenarios from morning to late night. One tap sets the whole mood — multiple lights, layered exactly how you planned, no juggling three separate switches for three different fittings. It comes with an intuitive fool-proof panel that syncs through an app on your mobile phone.
2. AEON® lights you’ll want to use, no matter the interior theme
A line of floor lamps that brings the outdoors indoors. This series introduces Rust, a brand new colourway of the Sol Luminaire® index, conceived as a weathered finish to withstand outdoor climates.
The sculptural series made with Ornate+ glass combines rich hardware with a minimalist exterior. Designed slim and sleek for all spaces looking for a subtle decorative touch.
Flat wall feeling… flat? Pressed adds that waffle-like texture and a soft, architectural glow. Use it at entries or along façades—clean light, no glare, indoor or out.
Stays quiet on the ceiling. Minute, almost-invisible downlights that carry the room without visual noise, packed with performance-driven tech.
3. Sustainable human-centric forms
Pulp series proved that sustainable materials like recycled Mulberry Silk can ground the room with warmth and organic form — all while caring for the planet.
Sonogo was introduced to the LAB2.1 and Rooms by Sol Luminaire®, the first 3D printed lamp in Singapore to use only plant-based materials.
These designs are lightweight and are perfect alternatives to designer lighting, without getting pegged to a hefty price tag.
4. Timeless trends that matter
Ceilings aren’t just blank lids anymore, they’ve become part of a design movement. Give them character and the whole room feels intentional, not busier.
High ceilings? Try llll by Sarah Dehandschutter. The fluid form softens hard lines and brings a gentle, artful rhythm to big spaces, homes and retail alike.
Tight rooms? Go vertical without the bulk. Floor lamps from a-emotional light add height and mood without crowding. And a LYFA pendant can turn a quiet corner into a little designer moment.
5. Explore design & lighting events to get inspiration
Pinterest is great, but the best ideas happen offline. See the light up close, feel the warmth, study the form — and hear from people who’ve spent a decade (or more) making spaces work.
In 2025, we hosted two standouts:
Paragon of Light
A live conversation with Leong Hon Kit and Si Jian Xin (Wynk Collborative), Rei Ye (Typeface), and Edmund Ho (Sol Luminaire®). They dug into architectural lighting, materials, and how stories are told through space — the kind of nuance you don’t get on the internet.
Designers & Crafters
A showcase of regional and international voices reworking familiar materials into new expressions. It’s a fresh way to think about styling at home — intent first, shopping second.
If you want lighting that feels considered, start by seeing it in person. Learn how designers layer, where they hold back, and what they leave out. Then take those ideas home.
