So I immediately know that neither of my two suggestions would work. This grandiose, poetic style, reminds me of years ago an agency sent me an advertising piece for a fitted kitchen likening it to an orchestra playing a concerto with vegetables being chopped with vigor and water gushing from the faucets. I did the best I could. The client took it to New York where people advised him that the local people were practical and little inclined to classical music and very few people would "get" the metaphor. Translated into New Yorkese they said "You gotta be kidding buddy!" The client refused to pay the agency on the grounds that the translator should have told him the piece would not work in New York. And of course the wonderful agency refused to pay me. Be careful Mairi!

Writeaway - I did point out in the question that the language query in itself had nothing to do with either architecture or lighting while the translation is entirely dedicated to lighting projects as part of architectural projects, but there was no specific option for "general query" in the drop-down menu.

Thank you Fiona - I had actually considered doing that but was concerned it might alter the sense

Unfortunately that is part of the problem- there is no text before this. The text starts here and only the title is before this - which is the name of the Vineyard

or "And it brings to mind.." However, these just might be wrong. Need to see the sentence before to know what fits best.

... so I'd rather leave the floor to my English-native colleagues. That said, what about "For instance" or "To give you an example"? Mind you, it does depend on what comes before that. HTH
