Whether you are a ‘car-lover’ wishing to improve the look of your vehicle, or want improved night-time driving visibility, Performance headlight globes can provide the solution you are looking for.

Presenting products in the best light!

Walk into any home lighting store and you will see a myriad of lights on the roof, walls and floor displays – all illuminated to show you the ‘full effect’ and help you to select the right light for your home. This style of display works for lights that are used in the same way at home, but not high output lights which are designed to be used in an underwater environment.  Pool owners want lights that create dazzling visual effects underwater.

Dieter Rams – 10 Principles of Good Design

Dieter Rams; one of the most influential industrial designers of the last 50 years recently celebrated his 80th birthday. Renowned for his work for clients such as Braun, his user-friendly, minimalist design style has created several iconic products. This milestone reminded me of the 10 principles of Good Design that he published in the early 80’s in response to the question “What makes good design?” This is not an easy question to answer. ‘Good design’ can be highly subjective, and our emotional response to objects is often difficult to articulate.
