We don't just sell lights; we design and build custom lighting displays for events, businesses, and even personal celebrations.

Think of us as your creative lighting partners. We've been quietly building a reputation for tackling tricky projects and delivering something special. And this Lunar New Year, "special" means bringing the powerful and auspicious dragon to life with light. More Than Just a Decoration – A Symbol of Strength and Good Fortune The Lunar New Year, celebrated by millions across the world, is a time for family, tradition, and wishing for good luck in the year to come. The dragon holds a central place in this celebration, symbolizing power, strength, wisdom, and good fortune. This year, we wanted to create something that truly captured that essence. “We really wanted to go beyond just hanging some red lanterns,” says Alex Chen, Lead Designer at Ascending Optics. “We wanted to create something dynamic, something that felt alive. Something that really embodies the energy of the dragon.” And they've done just that. Introducing the Lunar Dragon Display Ascending Optics has developed a range of Lunar Dragon displays, from smaller, elegant installations perfect for businesses and restaurants, to larger, awe-inspiring displays designed for public spaces and events. So, what makes these displays different? Dynamic Lighting: Forget static decorations. These dragons move. Using advanced programmable LED technology, the dragons appear to undulate, breathe, and even “dance,” bringing a sense of dynamism and life to the display. Imagine scales shimmering with changing colors, and a gentle, breathing effect that’s mesmerizing. Customizable Designs: We understand that every space is unique. That's why the Lunar Dragon display is fully customizable. Clients can choose the dragon’s color scheme, length, pose, and even the speed and pattern of the lighting effects. Want a golden dragon with fiery red accents? No problem. Prefer a serene blue dragon with calming, flowing lights? We can make it happen. Variety of Sizes & Formats: From a smaller, tabletop dragon sculpture to a massive, 30-foot long dragon stretching across a building facade, we have a solution to fit your needs and space. We're also offering "Dragon Scale" panels – individual illuminated scales that can be arranged into custom patterns and shapes, perfect for creating unique backdrops or accent lighting. High-Quality Materials & Craftsmanship: We don’t cut corners. The dragons are constructed from durable, weather-resistant materials, ensuring they can withstand the elements and provide years of enjoyment. Each dragon is meticulously handcrafted by our skilled team, paying attention to every detail. Energy Efficiency: We're committed to sustainability. The displays utilize energy-efficient LED technology, minimizing energy consumption without compromising on brightness or impact.
