Wooden lights

Wood is the most prominent part of wooden plants, such as (especially) trees and shrubs. From a botanic point of view, wood is the final result from the cambium-produced secondary xylem of seed plants. According to this definitely, the wooden structures of, for example, palms, are not actually wood. One of the traits is the deposit of lignin (a wood particle) in the cell wands. Other definitions therefore refer to wood as wood-like plant structures.

Wooden lights from different types of wood

There are many different types of wood. Often, there is a very rudimentary division between leaf-wood (hard wood) and needle-wood (soft wood). Needle-wood types, like whitewood and pinewood, are often relatively soft, while leaf-wood types, such as oak wood, is way heavier and harder. When a specific type of wood is hard, does not mean it is hard to work with. Mahogany wood is a gorgeously red type of wood, relatively hard, but very easy to work with. It is perfectly suited for the crafting of precious furniture elements. The wood of the ochroma pyramidale, on the other hand, is very light and soft, which makes it a useful material for applications such as model building for model planes.

U can make use of wooden floorlights, garden lighting made out of wood, or other wooden lights that we have got available. Browse through our wide range of wooden lights and simply make your choice.

Further characteristics and traits of the different types of wood are:

·         Difference in colour and print

·         Difference in volume

·         Difference in splitting characteristics

·         Difference in behaviour when the humidity changes

·         Difference in various mechanical strength characteristics

·         Difference in sensitivity to climate-related characteristics and decay or insect-caused decay

·         Difference in anatomy and cell structures

The advantage of wood is mainly that it is quite easy to work with. You can use wood by filing it, sawing it, cutting it, drilling through it, cutting it, gluing it, bending it, screwing it, and many other ways.

·         As both a raw material and construction material, wood is very important; it is often used in the construction of houses and furniture, for floors, window panes, window sills, roof constructions and for the finishing touch. Wood has been an important construction material ever since the old ages, and remains a material that is constantly used

·         Natural resource for products: A lot of products contain wood as a natural resource. A number of indoor lights and outdoor lights have a pedestal or support made of wood. This ensures a pleasant, nice atmosphere.

Below, you can find an overview of all the lights that are crafted from wood, as well as the lights that come in a wood-like colour, but are made from a different material. Both the material and the colour are specified on the page of the lights themselves.
