When did you first see the light? Over your lifetime, you have surely had some of those “ah ha!” moments. Which one had the most impact? Some people might call it a defining moment. Others, a paradigm shift perhaps. The bottom line is this: something defines you. While it may not have been one moment but rather a process, something defines you, guides your day, makes you “tick.” It’s either yourself (how’s that working for you?) or something bigger than yourself.
So, what’s this got to do with custom lamps? Well, I just want you to know a bit about me, the Lightsmith. I am defined by the Light of the world. And I love to share that, in whatever way I can. But it’s not about me. And that’s not all.
These lamps are just metal and glass, with the occasional bit of fabric. (Plastic is only allowed as required insulation.) What really matters are the things you can’t see. You can’t see the thought process that led to the particular creation (creation, HA! It’s only rearranged stuff.) You can’t see the imagination, thrill, and sometimes frustration that goes into each piece. I want it to be right. You can’t see that determination and dedication. The ultimate unseen is love, a truly spiritual “thing.” But you can see its action, results, and like the wind, where it is having an effect.
I hope and pray that your custom lamp will help you “see the light.” Darkness can’t stand against it. Think on that.
Thanks for allowing me to speechify. If you have read this far, I applaud your curiosity. And I appreciate your interest. You should really subscribe – sometimes my writing actually makes sense and you might have an epiphany. Or not – that’s okay too.
Blessings on you

Why use Renaissance Wax? Because it is the best possible way to preserve art objects, that’s why!
The “Perfect Wax,” RENAISSANCE MICRO-CRYSTALLINE WAX/POLISH from England, has been the #1 choice of major museums, art galleries and institutions for the preservation of the precious pieces.
Prior to 1950, the only polishes available were based on beeswax and carnuba wax. Unfortunately, these natural, saponifiable products would cause damage when acids arose spontaneously through oxidation or hydrolysis.
To solve the problem, a consortium of international conservationists directed a scientist from the British Museum to conduct intensive research and find the “perfect wax.” When he could not find any that met their exacting standards, he created a new wax in his laboratory. The revolutionary formula he invented is a semi-synthetic micro-crystalline fossil-origin wax entirely free of, damaging acids. It remains chemically neutral and is therefore completely safe, even on vulnerable surfaces.
RENAISSANCE MICRO-CRYSTALLINE WAX/POLISH is used in the following places in the U.S. – The 911 Monument at ground zero, The Smithsonian Institute, Colonial Williamsburg Conservatory, Abraham Lincoln Residence, Vicksburg Military Park and Museum, Henry Ford Museum, Academy of Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art, NRA Museum, Rockefeller Restorations, Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Hilton Hotels, BYU Museum of Art, National Ornamental Metals Museum, as well as other museums, government agencies, craftsmen, collectors both professional and amature alike.
In the United Kingdom it is used in the British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Buckingham Palace, Military Museums at Aldershot, H.M. the Queens Royal Armourer, The National Museum of Antiquities – Scotland, Royal Armories (London & Leeds), The Imperial War Museum, Windsor Castle, and The Tower of London.
Alpha Omega Light Company uses Renaissance Wax to preserve your lamp so you will be able to enjoy its light for years and years to come. Yes, it’s expensive, but we feel it is worth it to provide you with the best art piece possible.
