Twig Lights

Twig lights are just that, lights that have the shape of twigs.  Typically the intended use of these is in décor; however there are regular lamps that have the stem of the lamp created in the design of a twig.

Basically, twig lights come in two types, a less expensive type which is constructed with a little string of glowing LED lights struck to a frame made of wire.   The second type is a higher quality, more expensive design with lights that are integrated into the frame design, with all the wiring completely hidden inside.  These types typically come complete with a stand of their own, or crafted with the design allowing them to be wall mounted or placed into a vase.

An example of table top décor would be with flowers.  The ones using flowers to decorate include the life span of cut flowers, which creates a need for regular replacement of the flowers, however some people solved that dilemma through the use of plastic flowers.  However, the use of plastic plants or flowers, regardless of quality grade, often has a reverse effect of the impression you were actually trying to create. The use of twig lights, in place of artificial flowers, can be a more suitable solution.

Twig lights are constructed in a variety of suitable sizes, commonly found in a single color, however they are available in multi-colored sets as well.  Twig lights are very effective when used as “fillers” in your decorating scheme, meaning they have the ability to cover blank spots without looking too obvious.   During the festive decorating occasions, it is typical to use twig lights in sets of numerous different sizes and throughout the entire store or place you are decorating.   They have been known to replace a tree in an outdoor scheme, and in addition to looking very sharp, they go up and dismantle with ease. 

Another bonus in working with these lights is they are crafted in a wire base, which allows the branches to be shaped and twisted any direction you require.  Improving on the purchased shape is entirely possible and easy to accomplish.   The purchase of the majority of these lights are in a design resembling a bunch of twigs that come tied at the bottom end all together (where their name originates from), and less like a tree or in a plant shape.   They are also available in a great design with a stand, branches and a trunk, which look exquisite and are equally expensive.  

The very softly glowing small LEDs are the lights constructed on the normal twig lamp.  There is also available a twig light that is presented with the intent of being mounted on a wall, in addition to twig “shades” which are both regular lamp light types and come using light bulbs of different wattages.  The twig lamps crafted in the wall mount are delicately beautiful but can come with an expensive price sometimes approaching two hundred dollars per fixture.  Some very elaborate ones can cost two thousand dollars or more but they are more for specialized uses. A person may be better off investing in a high-end chandelier for that type of money. There are, however, beautiful pieces priced in the one hundred dollar range which are constructed with the stein or frame connecting a lamp into a wall design.  This design of a vine or twigs has more possibilities than any standard lamp, which results in more styling options than your typical light fixture for, perhaps, a bit higher cost.
