About CTO Lighting
CTO Lighting is a British design house making contemporary decorative lighting by hand, using honed alabaster, hand-spun brass, bronze and mouth-blown glass. Pieces are made to order rather than held in bulk stock, which is the reason for the lead time and also the reason finishes stay consistent across a specification.
Collections include Anvers, Avalon, Array, Nimbus, Torres, Hepworth and Lucid, with sizes and finishes that repeat across families — useful when lighting a whole scheme rather than a single room.
Specification and project use
Selected CTO designs are available in DALI-dimmable and IP44-rated versions, the latter suitable for Bathroom Zone 2 and Zone 3. This is the main reason CTO is specified so heavily in hotel bedrooms and bathrooms, where a decorative fitting has to meet a technical standard. Contact us for the variants available on a particular design.
Pricing
CTO Lighting is not included in our current public discount code offers. Trade pricing is available instead for verified interior designers, architects, developers and hospitality operators, applied per project rather than at checkout. Apply for trade pricing.

How to choose designer lighting
Start with the role the light needs to play. A statement pendant over a dining table or kitchen island sets the tone for the whole room, so scale matters more than anything — as a rule, allow roughly one third of the table width and hang the base 75 to 90cm above the surface.
Wall lights and sconces work in pairs and are best positioned at eye level, roughly 1.5 to 1.6m from the floor. Alabaster is the material of choice for luxury lighting because it is genuinely translucent: light passes through the stone rather than bouncing off it, producing a warmth that no manufactured diffuser reproduces. Every piece of alabaster is unique, so expect natural variation in veining.
For bathrooms, check the IP rating. Zone 2 and Zone 3 require IP44 as a minimum. If your scheme uses DALI or a central dimming system, confirm compatibility before ordering — several CTO Lighting pieces are available in DALI-A and DALI-B variants.
