The standard we hold ourselves to
Publishing about chandeliers, lighting design, installation and buying lights without saying how you work is asking for trust you have not earned. This is how we work.
Standards
The route every article on lustrsazan.com takes from idea to publication, and what we refuse to publish.
Publishing about chandeliers, lighting design, installation and buying lights without saying how you work is asking for trust you have not earned. This is how we work.
A draft goes through four hands worth of work. The writer separates what they know from what they assume. The assumptions are either checked against something nameable or deleted. What is left gets written up. Then a second person reads it looking only for overconfidence, which is the failure this subject invites most.
What gets written is decided by demand, not by a schedule. A question that keeps arriving, from readers or from our own work, becomes a page. A clever keyword with no real question behind it does not.
Part of what keeps the lights on is commercial links. The verdict on a page is written first and does not bend to whether a link earns anything.
Nobody has ever bought the removal of a fair criticism here, and the ones who try mostly hand us the material for the next article.
Each piece is signed, and each signature is a link to everything else that person has written. A house byline would let a weak article hide; a real name does not.
Farzaneh Delacroix, Chandelier and interiors writer. Farzaneh grew up in a family of crystal chandelier makers and spent her childhood among glass drops and brass arms. She writes about chandelier styles, sizes and care.
Ambrose Whitlock, Lighting designer. Ambrose designs lighting for restaurants and homes. He writes about layering light, colour temperature and the way a room should feel at nine in the evening.
Nikolai Ferreira, Electrician and installer. Nikolai is an electrician who has hung several hundred ceiling lights, some of them very heavy. He writes about installation, support and safety without skipping the dull parts.
The date you see is real. A tidy up of wording leaves it alone; only a change to what the piece recommends moves the modified date, along with a note saying so.
Send the page and the problem to [email protected]. Typos are fixed silently. Facts are fixed quickly. Conclusions that turn out to be wrong are corrected in the open, with a note saying what we previously said.
