During the month of May, the International Day of Light is celebrated. The UNESCO-backed date looks at the importance of light around the world as a symbol of peace, ambition and transformation.
The day also celebrates the scientific development of light as an energy resource. The date of May 16 was chosen to commemorate the first successful use of the laser in 1960. The furtherance of scientific cooperation and discovery is essential to the aim of promoting peaceful societies.
Here at Homecolours, we can fully get behind these goals. After all, lighting is so important in harvesting peace within and without. By making the most of the latest designer lighting products, a perfect mood is set both inside and outside the home.

Tranquil Candles
When most of us think about a symbol of peace and light, candlelight often comes up. Candles offer a relaxed and soft focus for reading and dinnertime or simply taking it easy.
A designer candleholder such as the Abri Lantern by Ferm Living (above) allows a candle to be comfortably and securely positioned in an attractively rendered container. Perfect for use anywhere around the home, the frosted glass allows the gentle light to flow gracefully out.
Another excellent option for providing a valuable light source to the home, the lantern underlines the essential ability of lighting products to inspire and engage.
