Besa Lighting's lights make extensive use of glass in their design. Traditionally, glass has been a primary material for creating fine lights. It offers beauty while effectively directing or diffusing the light output. Each piece is handcrafted using traditional methods, passed down from generation to generation. The personal experience and artistry of the individual glassmaker is infused into each piece. Besa Lighting capitalizes on this strength and creativity throughout this diverse Collection. This traditional art adds real value to your contemporary lighting. Natural variations will occur. These small variations in thickness, color or pattern and dimensions are normal.
You may find a few air bubbles and many glasses will appear noticeably different when illuminated than when not. This is the essence of handcrafted lighting glass and is what lends character and distinction to Besa Lighting lights.
Besa offers a broad assortment of handcrafted glasses. Each glass shape offers multiple colors and decors. Coordinating ceiling lights, outdoor lights, ADA sconces and other lighting also available.
Black Damask and White Damask
Black Damask and White Damask glass is an art nouveau creation in hand-blown glass. The inside of the Black Damask glass is etched so the pattern appears frosted. The background is painted in layers with black and white on the inside so the outer surface remains glossy. The background or the White Damask is painted in white on the inside, while the outer surface is etched so the pattern shows as frosted. This hand-blown glass is acid etched clear on the outside surface. The process of etching creates an un-textured, satin finished.
Black Hand-cut and White Hand-cut
Hand-cut Black or White glass is hand-blown clear glass with a stunning edge cut diamond pattern. The contemporary glossy black or white finish is a dramatic contrast to the sparkling refractive effect created when the cut edges are illuminated.
Mirror/Frost
Mirror/Frost glass is mirrored glass, with a frosting carefully applied to conceal the light source. When off, the glass is completely reflective and appears as a mirror. When illuminated, the frost glows brightly from the lamping. This handcrafted glass uses a process where every glass is consistently produced using an extrusion, keeping variations to a minimum.

Ceylon Ceylon glass is varicolored glass with a look reminiscent to natural quartz, with a glossy polished surface. Blues and reds dominate when unlit, but turn the light on and the earth-tones take over. This décor is created by rolling molten glass in small bits of various colors called frit along with various glass powders. The result is a multi-layered blown glass, where frit color is nestled between an opal inner layer and a clear matte outer layer. Each piece is unique. |

Glitter Glitter glass is clear blown and a technologically advanced crystal coating applied to the inside. The coating contains multiple micro-layers of glass particles that create unique prismatic optical properties, which effectively alter both the reflected and transmitted light. So unlit, it appears like a frosted glass; when lit, it becomes alive with dazzling light effects. |

Finishes
Glass is an integral part of all Besa lighting. All Besa glass finishes, whether for interior or exterior use, are produced to perform their intended function. Besa metal finishes are produced to the same standards.
Extreme Conditions
Lighting designed for exterior use must contend with the additional burden of wear due to exposure to the elements. Besa outdoor lighting will endure most normal conditions. Besa considers extreme salt-air or acid rain conditions to be abnormal conditions. Several of the finishes used in Besa outdoor lighting are better suited for use in these salt-air conditions, such as lighting with glasses of opal, frost or marble finishes (since these finishes are created within the glass itself ).
Care of Besa Finishes
Periodic cleaning with a mild cleaning solution and a soft cloth will help ensure a lasting finish of all Besa exterior lighting.
Besa stainless steel fixtures require a periodic cleaning to prevent the accumulation of dirt/contaminants that will eventually cause the appearance of rust, and in extreme cases, finish failure.
