The Cotswold Company’s Eye-Catching New Lighting Designs
Bring your living space to life with eye-catching new lighting designs from The Cotswold Company.
Their range of signature pieces complement any style, whether you’re enhancing a modern living space, or adding character with a more vintage feel: Choose striking floor lamps in wood or brass to liven up dull corners. Opt for elegant table lamps with blown-glass or metal bases. Set them off beautifully with silk-effect pleated shades, to add charm to your bedsides and sideboards. Add lustre and subtle sparkle with silken-string ceiling pendants, festooned with glass and acrylic hanging beads. Intricate cut-metal lamps and hand-blown hurricane lanterns, lend an exotic-edge and create a special ambience for your room.
Let there be light. Your choice is, which one?

New Dremel 8200 Cordless Multi-Tool Announced
September 2010 sees the introduction of the new Dremel 8200, the company’s best-ever cordless multi-tool.
The 8200 is compatible with all Dremel accessories and attachments, making it a highly versatile tool, offering the power and freedom to tackle any detailed indoor or outdoor project. It can be used to grind, polish, carve, cut, sharpen and sand a wide variety of materials: The Dremel 8200 outperforms all other cordless rotary tools on the market, and even many corded ones, with its advanced motor technology and powerful 10.8V Lithium-ion battery – setting a new standard in cordless multi-tools. The Li-ion battery is 25% smaller and 15% lighter than on previous models and has Electronic Cell Protection for maximum performance and lifespan. It charges in just one hour and holds its charge for up to two years. The Dremel 8200 also comes with a major safety feature: a motor brake which ensures the accessory stops spinning the second the tool is switched off.
Responding to consumer demand, the Dremel 8200 includes a trumpet nosepiece for better pencil grip, easy to use controls that do not interfere with the grip, a narrow barrel design and enhanced comfort during extended use. An LED gauge shows the battery status and the slide switch allows full variable speed control between 5,000 and 30,000 RPM.
