Leading lights

NOMA’s Garden Art range has seen great success with its Edison-style bare bulb range of outdoor lighting, and for Christmas 2018 the company is predicting the vintage look bulb will be a big seller. The Bulb looks stunning on a Christmas tree, or hanging from a mantelpiece for an unusual, industrial Christmas look.

With more than 75 years in the business, NOMA’s expertise in lighting is second to none, and its Christmas 2018 collection is certain to stand up to the company’s high standards and its reputation for being specialists, not generalists.
