JEM Liter

SoleckiLiter

INTEGRA Liter

 

Conceived and collaborated in the development of the JEM Liter.  This is an application specific fixture designed to be mounted high up into trees.  The JEM Liter will cast a soft and unobtrusive “moonlight” effect down onto the landscape and has been designed to eliminate glare and light trespass.  Constructed of raw brass and copper, with stainless steel hardware, the JEM Liter is a “lifetime” fixture that will stand the test of time.

Developed the Community Lighting Assessment Program and the Shoreline Lighting Assessment Program. This program, available to community groups, municipalities, rate payer associations, lake associations and the like, is designed to provide a quantified description of the location and nature of light pollution sources in any given area. It can be used to identify problem areas or as a measurement tool, allowing for the first time the tracking of light pollution sources over time.

Established an extensive and unique warranty program for all INTEGRA designed and installed services, a first in the Muskoka marketplace. This program offers our clients complete peace of mind that every component of their lighting system will function as designed.

Developed, Produced and Presented the Information Program entitled “Cottage Night Life”. This public presentation is available to any group or association who would like to learn more about light pollution, its negative environmental and ecological impacts and light pollution abatement techniques.

Conceived and collaborated in the development of the Soleckiliter. This is the first 18 karat gold pathlight fixture in the world and it is available exclusively through INTEGRA Works. For those applications that require an extra special touch of elegance. The Soleckiliter will not tarnish or corrode and is guaranteed for life.

Conceived and collaborated in the development of the INTEGRA Liter. This is a full cut off, dark sky friendly dock and deck fixture that still has no equal in the marketplace. It is now an integral part of the Artisan Series of fixtures produced by Nightscaping. It is a cast brass, flush mount fixture with a raw, naturally aged finish and is guaranteed for life.

Appointed to the Nightscaping Advisory Council in 2002. This council was assembled to assist in guiding a major outdoor lighting manufacturer, Nightscaping, in the areas of product innovation, revision and improvement.
