What are the key features of Crescent products?
Crescent has always strived to provide innovative designs and craftsmanship in lighting designs along with energy-saving solutions. Our lighting products are designed for Indian electrical and climatic conditions as per international quality standards, which has earned Crescent the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification.Crescent products have proven 10% higher lumens than any other products, with no lumen devaluation after around 30,000 hours (as per the LM80 Certification). Use of high-quality polycarbonate does not allow yellowing of the product, nor do they become brittle, resulting in their long life. Aesthetically designed heatsinks offer excellent thermal conductivity and electrical insulation, which are significant factors in heat transfer.

We undertake Research and Development (R&D), manufacturing, assembling, and forward integration; this comprehensive approach distinguishes us from others in the industry.Recognizing the challenges in power supply, especially in the Indian market, we design products that require low maintenance while offering extended warranties.

How can lighting transform outdoor spaces?
The art of transforming outdoor spaces involves creativity, functionality, and ambiance, a key element of which is lighting. Beyond its practical aspects, strategically placed lights can accentuate the aesthetic appeal of the surroundings, accentuate architectural features, and highlight landscaping elements, setting the mood for various activities. Whether you have a sprawling garden, a cozy patio, or a spacious deck, thoughtful placement of lights can transform these spaces into visually stunning extensions of your home.Selecting the right lighting fixtures is crucial to achieving the desired ambiance. A mix of different fixtures such as pathway lights, wall sconces, string lights, lanterns, fairy lights, wall lights, post lights, poll lights, bollards, focus lights, and spotlights help create a layered and dynamic lighting scheme. Carefully placed pathway lights enhance the landscape while serving a practical purpose by illuminating walkways and ensuring safety during evening hours. LED bulbs give energy efficiency and longevity. Solar-powered lights are also eco-friendly as they harness the power of the sun to illuminate outdoor spaces while reducing your environmental impact.
