Q. Lighting

Lightalarms Architectural Emergency. No one wants their beautifully finished interiors mucked up with bug eyes and ugly EM lights so Lightalarms is here to change that with their architectural line of fixtures, inverters and slick hidden emergency products. How about their RP series which sits flush with the ceiling and provides up to 80' of spread or a wide variety of inverters that allow you to use YOUR existing fixtures as EM lighting. They even have fixtures that are hidden from view only to pop out when power is lost. Emergency lighting doesn't have to be ugly, get on the Lightalarm train! #lightingdesign #qlightingdefined #qlsnc #qlighting #iesna #illuminatingengineeringsociety #architecturallighting #aianorthcarolina @lightalarms #lightalarms ABB

This week we're again getting progressively harder AND ripping off another cocktail from @kevin_kos cause its just too damned good. Coffee + clarifications + foam! This is an absolutely stunning cocktail. Come to the office and we'll whip up (literally) a batch. Here goes! Cream-Washed Vodka (adjust up to batch in larger qty's) 4oz Vodka 0.3oz Simple 6 drops Coffee Bitters 2 barspoons lemon juice 1.5oz Cream Mix everything in a glass minus the cream. In a separate mixing glass add the cream THEN add the cocktail..NEVER the other way around. Store in the fridge overnight and strain through a coffee filter or cheesecloth. This will take a while. Kahlua Foam 1 sheet of gelatin or 1 tsp of gelatin powder 2oz water 5oz Kahlua 4oz Coffee Mix gelatin powder and hot water until combined. If using a gelatin sheet, place in cold water first to soften then add it to the hot water. Put the gelatin mixture in the fridge until it turns into a gel. Add remaining ingredients to a blender then the gelatin and blend until well incorporated. Add the mixture to a siphon, charge, shake well and place in the fridge to cool. Inverted White Russian 2oz Cream-washed vodka Top with Kahlua Foam In a rocks glass with a single large ice cube, add vodka mixture. Stir until chilled and top with Kahlua Foam. Its beautiful enough without a garnish but a few coffee beans or cocoa is a great addition. #lightingdesign #qlightingdefined #qlsnc #qlighting #iesna #illuminatingengineeringsociety #architecturallighting #aianorthcarolina #designsketching #industrialdesign #productdesign #blueprints #cocktails #cocktailporn #lightingdesign #lightingporn #qlighting #qlightingdefined #qlsnc #craftcocktails #kevin_kos #invertedwhiterussian #whiterussian

Rosetta is available in three different color finish options - nickel, brass and black brass. #lightingdesign #qlightingdefined #qlsnc #qlighting #iesna #illuminatingengineeringsociety #architecturallighting #aianorthcarolina #zaneenlighting @zaneenlighting @zaneen-lighting

Today we are actively trying to make the entire country of Italy mad at us. We're filling a Bialetti Moka Pot (espresso maker) with Vermouth instead of water to make Espresso-infused Vermouth. It's wild, it's ridiculous, it's effen delicious! Take your moka pot and fill the water chamber with Sweet Red Vermouth to the fill line. Add the coffee chamber and fill with finely ground coffee. Assemble the moka pot and set onto a burner over medium-low heat. You want a slow simmer to steep through the coffee. If you run the moka pot too fast it will taste bitter, weak and acidic. The best way is to actively watch the liquid come through the upper spigot. It should be a slow flow rather than a sputtering boil. If you're too hot, remove the moka pot from the stove. Let cool and use immediately as the coffee vermouth with oxidize. We're suggesting 2 cocktails with this vermouth, a Negroni Svegliato and the inspiration for our artwork, a coffee Manhattan called "The city that never sleeps"....get it...coffee, cocktails...we're so witty. Negroni Svegliato 1oz Gin 1oz Campari 1oz Espresso infused Vermouth -add all the ingredients to a mixing glass with ice and stir until well chilled. Strain into a rocks glass with a big ole cube and garnish with an orange peel. The City that never sleeps 2oz Rye 0.75oz Espresso infused Vermouth Barspoon of maraschino cherry juice 2 dashes of Ango -add all the ingredients to a mixing glass with ice and stir until well chilled. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with an orange peel. #designsketching #industrialdesign #productdesign #blueprints #cocktails #cocktailporn #lightingdesign #lightingporn #qlighting #qlightingdefined #qlsnc #craftcocktails #lightingdesign #qlightingdefined #qlsnc #qlighting #iesna #illuminatingengineeringsociety #architecturallighting #aianorthcarolina #negronisvegliato #mokapotvermouth #mokapot #bialettimokapot #mokapotcocktails #coffeenegroni #negroni
