Astro Lighting launches new garden light

Thursday, 10 February 2011 9:44 AM

Astro Lighting has announced the launch of Puzzle – a new outdoor lantern that utilises a discreet optical illusion to provide light to urban garden, outdoor and patio areas.

Combining classic styling with modern technology, Puzzle has a refined matt black frame and clear glass shade with elegant proportions (320mm height x 160mm width x 140mm projection from the wall).

LED’s hidden inside the top horizontal edge of the lantern meanwhile subtly provide the source of the light, ensuring an intriguing and appealing design feature.

IP44 rated for safe use outdoors, Puzzle also ensures low maintenance needs and guaranteed energy efficiency.

While ideal for garden areas, Puzzle can also be used in other parts of the home or property, whether that be creating a grand entrance at a front door, providing a hallway light or adding a touch of class to a conservatory.

The Puzzle Light will be available from March 2011 and will retail at around £150.00 (incl. VAT).
