In December with a great 2013 coming to a close we celebrated together at the Claremont Hotel in the Berkeley Hills. Good food, great fun, and many laughs.
Here are four manufacturers with new products for the new year. Each one has a unique style and spin on the way they provide light for our environment. Tech Lighting keeps expanding their scope with each passing year, providing contemporary decorative pendants, spots, sconces, downlights, linears, and task lighting. Flip through their new 2014 supplemental catalog online...you won't be disappointed.
Erco brings quality German engineering to the interior and exterior world. A company that takes pride in tremendous optics and cutting edge LED technology. For 2014 they have introduced an exterior product group which spans floods, bollards, cylinders, and in-grades.
Delray Lighting has introduced new LED types to their very popular Cylindro II & III along with their Media and Completa linears. They have also made headway in the Industrial arena by providing LEDs in their popular Sonar pendant.
Last but not least, American Glass Light with their contemporary Art Deco style has done an amazing job introducing an array of new LED pendants and sconces.
In November sixteen5hundred had the pleasure of taking a handful of terrific specifiers down to Huntington Beach to visit Bartco Lighting. Bartco treated all to a factory tour, the Getty Museum, Paradise Cove, s'mores on the beach, and great hospitality.

To kick off Selux's new LED products, Selux and sixteen5hundred threw a party at ROE Restaurant in San Francisco. Jeff Nepsa, Selux's western regional, demonstrated the M36 product.
As Party-goers sipped on their favorite libations they were able to view the Selux products placed throughout the space.
The Kyle Jester Blues Band had the place tapping their feet.
After moving in July, the dust has settled and we are at home in our new Emeryville location. We now reside at 2100 Powell Suite 800 Emeryville, CA 94608. We love having access to all the local amenities, such as the Public Market, walks on the Marina and easy access to San Francisco and many of our clients. And the view doesn't hurt. Our shiny new office was designed especially for us, and incorporates many of our favorite state of the art LED fixtures. Let's take a tour of the new digs!
Check in with reception and check out the hot orange Peerless Origami.
Have a seat in our comfy lounge area while you wait for your favorite Sixteen5hundred employee. Enjoy the glow of the Delray Cylindro LED RGB.
The library houses an assortment of our manufacturer's catalogs to assist with projects of visiting clients. The Tech track lights add sparkle while the Peerless Naro wall mount is a quiet but powerful presence in the background.
The Peerless Round LED linear pendants in our main conference room are fully dimmable using nLight controls and display both indirect and indirect/direct distributions. The room is complimented by the glorious view of the Bay and Mount Tam in the distance!
The open kitchen is integrated with the office space allowing for social interaction, laughter, and of course food! The Fabbian Hungry pendant hangs over the kitchen island while the diner-style bench seating encourages group meet-ups.
A tour would not be complete without a spin in the fun Magis Spun Chair under our Delray Cylindro III in white LED.
Thank you for joining us on our virtual tour. Next time you are in Emeryville stop on by and visit us in person!
