Archifos Launches “May the Fos Be With You”


April 1, 2025

(Greece) – After months of live testing, styling, and community engagement, Archifos officially launches “May the Fos Be With You”, a comprehensive review of portable lighting. The site is an independent, user-driven, editorial-style review platform dedicated to the beauty, characteristics, and key decision factors of portable lights.

“We didn’t just evaluate specs. We lived with each light! We tested them in real-life environments – on terraces, beaches, picnic tables, dinner tables – and brought back honest, personalised feedback,” says Katia Kolovea, Lighting Designer and founder of Archifos. “This is about empowering designers, hoteliers, and homeowners to find their perfect light match – not by numbers, but by moments.”

The study, led by Kolovea as a personal and professional passion project, is now live at www.maythefos.com. What began as a fascination with the flexibility and vibe-setting power of portable lights evolved into a full exploration campaign to celebrate real-life impact. Visitors can create a free account, explore insights, and get inspired for their decision-making when choosing the right portable light.

Key Features Include:

  • Authentic, in-context reviews of cordless lights in real-life environments.
  • Creative editorial content exploring atmosphere, styling, and functionality.
  • Pros, Cons, and Application Notes based on independent use – not marketing copy.
  • All written content is original and produced by the Archifos team and collaborators.
  • Visuals include a mix of official brand materials and original Archifos imagery.

“We believe light is not just functional – it’s emotional. Each of these products carries a story, a vibe, and a role to play. This project is here to help people find the one that fits their life,” says Kolovea. “All evaluations are based on independent product testing and firsthand usage. Review insights reflect my personal but professional opinions, informed by years of lighting design experience. Reader perspectives may differ, and that’s part of the conversation. We are open to feedback, questions, suggestions, and dialogue.”

This platform is intended as a creative, educational, and inspirational tool. Users are encouraged to consider their own needs and context when making a purchasing decision.
“May the Fos Be With You” is an ongoing, evolving celebration of cordless lighting, one that welcomes new perspectives, products, and collaborators. As the community grows, so does the collective story of how light enhances emotion, mood, and experience.
