Fusing Lighting by LEDS C-4 |
||
| LEDS C-4 presents its Fusing Lighting collection based on glass produced using the fusing technique. This technique for working glass, known since the ancient Egyptians, was replaced by other glass production techniques and was rediscovered in the second half of the 20'th century. The basic principal behind fusing is the absolute necessity that the glasses be fused are compatible with each other; that is, that the coefficients of dilation of the glasses are identical. The result is a new glass that is tension free. Adequate heating, depending on the size and thickness of each part, in the kilns a basic step in the application of this technique. The kilns used are special computer-controlled models that raise the temperature slowly between 520 degrees and 600 degrees. They then quickly increase to 800-850 degrees and maintain this temperature for a few minutes before rapidly cooling to 550 degrees. This marks the beginning of the annealing process, the most delicate stage of the fusing technique. At this stage, correctly performed, the tension disappears from the fused glass. Once cooled, the glass, depending on its design, must undergo further treatment in the kiln so that it can be slumped into suitable molds. | ||

LIGHT AND GLASS
By using
the fusing technique, LEDS C-4 has combined light and glass as basic
materials in the creation of modern, innovative lines in the fine art of
illumination. By using noble materials in the glass fusion process
(opaque beads, glass stringers, vitrified enamels and glass with intense
colours), in combination with our proven skill with light sources, we
achieve the richness of an idea that is limited by our own creativity
and that of our customers. Opaline glass diffuses light, creating
enchanting, comfortable environments. Its fusion with coloured glass,
which projects different hues, enables the creation of items that blend
into the decoration of the desired or planned environment.

ART AND TECHNIQUE
Each Fusing
Lighting glass item is hand-made and is a unique, unrepeatable work of
art. The metallic elements are produced industrially and combine the
latest advances in lighting techniques to create each of these beautiful
items. All our models are manufactured in accordance with the ISO 9001
standard of quality and comply with the legislative safety requirements
of the EN 60598 and UL 1598 standards. This results in a
collection where Art and Technique converge, and is the result of a year
of intense work to offer our customers an outstanding collection that
has not spared heavy investment in R & D and research into the latest
tendencies in design and colours. As a leading company in this
sector, LEDS C-4 Lighting has been committed to the art of
illumination for more than 50 years and are proud of their commitment to
constant renovation and the creation of works whose value is maintained
over time.
