Former Gordon Ramsay chef opens new
Oxford Blue gastropub illuminated by
Bright Goods LED filament lamps
Latest lighting technology recreates a historic
atmosphere.
Camberley, ?? March 2017 - LED Eco Lights today
announced that its Bright Goods LED filament
lamps have been installed throughout the newly
refurbished and prestigious Oxford Blue gastropub, to
create a traditional atmosphere with efficient lighting
technology.
The Oxford Blue, located on the edge of Windsor
Great Park in Berkshire is housed in two former game
keeper’s cottages dating back to the 1800s and was
acquired in 2015 by Steven Ellis, former chef at three-
Michelin-starred Restaurant Gordon Ramsey. After
a lengthy refurbishment, the pub opened its doors
on New Year’s Eve and boasts a 44-cover venue with
a wine attic for private dining, a 14-seat lounge for
drinks and a 16-cover outside dining area.
Fettle Design was commissioned to create an interior
that combined the historical elements of the building
with modern efficient lighting technology. Fettle
specified Bright Goods linear LED filament lamps:
Catherine, a 6W sepia tinted GLS, Jane, a 6W sepia
tinted pear shape and Elizabeth, a 3W clear candle.
They were installed throughout the premises in
the restaurant, bar, wine attic, hallway, WC’s and
outside dining area. Each lamp boasts an impressive
100Lm/W efficiency.
Andy Goodwin, Director of Fettle Interior Design
said “To create the intimate dining atmosphere we
were looking for, the lighting had to be spot on. I was
introduced to the Bright Goods range a couple of years
ago and what is amazing about the bulbs themselves
is that aesthetically they look beautiful and create the
correct colour light whilst still being energy efficient.”
Proprietor, Steven Ellis said, “We had a vision of
creating an exceptional dining experience in the
comfort of a traditional country style gastropub
and wanted to make it as authentic as possible. We
have created an atmosphere that looked like it had
been there for hundreds of years rather than just
created by us. Lighting is such an important factor
when designing an interior and it was imperative
that we got it right. The appearance of the Bright

Goods LED lamps are exactly right for our concept
and furthermore, offers energy efficiency and low
maintenance.”
Saima Shafi, Sales and Marketing Director of LED
Eco Lights added, “Bright Goods LED filament
lamps are designed to provide a timeless vintage feel
and were the perfect choice for The Oxford Blue,
complementing the historic atmosphere they have
created. The range is fully dimmable and provides a
lifespan of 30,000 hours and is available in two colour
temperatures; warm (2.7K) and very warm (2.2K).”
Andy Goodwin concluded, “The Bright Goods LED
lamps have that element of traditional about them
which was key to the overall concept we had for the
restaurant. The long lifespan of the lamps also means
that maintenance becomes easier to manage. They
were perfect for this setting, emitting a warm white
colour temperature that replicates the nostalgia of the
early Edison incandescent models. Trying to play on
the heritage of the building, we wanted the lighting in
the restaurant space to be fully dimmable to keep the
atmosphere as intimate and enticing as possible.”
