The celestial events have long been glaring sources of inspiration for how we illuminate our homes. Every 18 months on average, the moon glides across the daytime sky and cloaks the sun for a brief moment. Something curious happens in those few seconds to minutes. Temperatures drop. Crickets start chirping. The sky darkens. By definition, a total solar eclipse, like the one that will cross over parts of North America on April 8, suggests a brief absence of light.
