Eastern Lighting

Eastern Lighting specializes in lighting for jewelry stores. In fact, jewelers are the only market they serve. A jeweler hires an architect to design a beautiful store, the architect consults with a lighting consultant to beautifully light the store, but who provides the diamond lighting solution?  In many cases the lighting solution that optimizes the beauty of the store falls short of exquisitely lighting the stars of the store, the diamonds. That is why Eastern Lighting is here to help. For more information, visit www.easternlighting.com or www.facebook.com/easternlighting. MAJA Members enjoy a 12% discount off standard book price for all jewelry store LED products and services.
