Sea Gull Lighting. Compliant with Energy Star, the Acadia chandelier uses six GU24, 13-watt CFLs. The collection’s European rustic design combines comfort and sophistication, according to the maker, and the misted bronze finish is a mix of dark and russet browns that suggests warmth. The champagne seeded glass creates soft glows. 800.347.5483. www.seagulllighting.com
Verve Living Systems. The Verve lighting control system combines radio frequency and energy-harvesting technologies. The system requires less installation material, such as copper wire, wall boxes, wire nuts, and conduit, because it runs on radio frequency, according to the maker. The energy-harvesting light switches are self-powering. The system’s dimming features help reduce energy costs, and presence sensors turn lights off if no one is in the room. 800.542.3789. www.vervelivingsystems.com
