Mystique Collection —
Visa Lighting’s latest line, the Mystique Collection of architecturally-integrated LED lighting, is comprised of wall and ceiling luminaires that synthesize the best of functionality and aesthetic appeal. The Effect Wall Lamp in the Mystique Line is a semi-circular piece that simulates the appearance of an angel’s halo. The luminous inner core lights the edge of the diffuser, creating an intriguing contrast of light and shadow both on the surface of the lamp and upon the proximal wall. Merlin—another piece from the Mystique Collection—is a square luminaire with a colorful Lumicor acrylic center. Visa Lighting offers the interior LED light in cool white, warm white, or a choice of vibrant colors for excellent versatility and unparalleled design potential.

Building Information Modeling —
Visa Lighting is on the cutting edge of Building Information Modeling (BIM). This revolutionary architectural and construction technology allows the creation of a virtual library of all the infrastructure in a home or commercial building. Visa Lighting has compiled a comprehensive BIM library of several of the Visa Lighting product families. These files contain “meta-data to assist in energy, sustainability, and photometric calculations.” Visa Lighting’s BIM library essentially allows owners, contractors, architects, and designers to experience the effect of a particular lighting scheme prior to installation. The technology thus “removes the barriers between design and collaboration; projects proceed smoothly as errors are reduced or eliminated, less waste of resources and time result in improved, superior projects of excellent quality.”
Visa Lighting offers consumers an extensive array of aesthetic choices while maintaining a pronounced sustainable ethos and staying at the cutting edge of technological advancement. Many of the company’s products make use of LED technology, which allows greater variability in light coloration as well as facilitating easy incorporation of the lightsource within fixtures of various shapes, sizes, and styles. The company is also an industry leader in the art of metal finishing. The finishes on a Visa Lighting fixture feature improved polishing techniques—Visa Lighting’s brushed metal finishes show a finer grain and more uniform pattern than traditionally-finished fixtures. Visa Lighting also has a reputation for excellent customer service: they offer an industry-leading five year limited warranty on all sales.
