# Suspended Halo Lights The 'Nimba' LED Suspension Light Looks Like a Glowing Halo By Paul Maccarone | Published 2013-08-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suspension-light References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/308815146904457675/Nimba-LED-Suspension-Light) & [estudiarola](http://www.estudiarola.com/en) The 'Nimba' LED suspension light from designer Antoni Arola is an intriguing piece that mimics the shape of a halo. The ethereal light sits suspended in the air as it casts a beautiful glow that conjures the image of a heavenly gathering. The suspension light is the creation of combined simplicity with advanced technology and high-efficiency. The glowing ring is illuminated by multiple LEDs and the [ethereal effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightmass) is created with a softened white inner diffuser. The Nimba is suspended from a satin nickel canopy and has an [illusion effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lp-lamp) as the cables that hold it up are nearly invisible. Arola has done a remarkable job with this design as not only is this light an education in advanced technology, but the glowing halo effect is truly distinct. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **LED Suspension Lights:** The trend of designing suspension lights using LED lights creates new possibilities to explore and test the abilities of this new technology. - **Invisible Suspension System:** The trend of creating an illusion of an invisible suspension system for lights adds a sense of intrigue and mystery to light design. - **Ethereal Lighting:** The trend of designing lights that create an ethereal and heavenly effect presents an opportunity to explore the emotional and psychological impact of lighting on people. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Lighting Design:** The lighting design industry can explore the possibilities of LED lights and the creation of an invisible suspension system to market new, unique, and innovative products. - **Hospitality Industry:** Hotels, restaurants, and other places in the hospitality industry can use these ethereal lights to create a unique atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression on customers. - **Interior Design Industry:** The interior design industry can experiment with these ethereal lights to create unique and innovative design concepts that complement the overall ambiance of the space. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Astro-Inspired Sculptural Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elara-suspension.md) - [Suspended Origami-Like Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sora-light.md) - [Suspended Halo Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamplox-minimalist-floor-lamp.md) - [Playful Minimal Suspended Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomnom-light.md) - [Otherworldly Lighting Fixture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otherworldly-lighting-fixture.md) - [Curved Pendant Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-light.md) - [Chic Saucer-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-in-tight-light-fixture.md) - [Diffused Halo Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radient-reimagined.md) - [Glowing Tubular Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/array-lighting.md)
