Lighting Lab
As lighting grows more complicated by the flood of new
products offering everything from energy efficiency to varied light colors to
high-tech style, choosing the correct fixture and bulb in a traditional lighting
showroom can be difficult at best. Often, what you see in the store is not at
all what you see in your home.
Wholesale Electric in Bay City, Michigan, offers an
innovative solution right here in Mid-Michigan with a State-of-the-Art
interior "lighting lab". At a cost of $25,000, the expense has paid off by
enabling the customer to make a more informed decision, which ultimately means a
satisfied customer. The lab, considered one of the finest in Michigan, is
continually updated with an array of products from manufacturers including Juno,
Kichler, Minka, Simkar, Designer's Fountain, Star-Fire, Leviton, Sylvania,
Schonbek,
American Fluorescent, and Tech Lighting.
Customers view the effects of
a series of track, recessed, decorative, task, and under-counter lighting
independently in a bath, kitchen, living area, and against varied wall textures.
Sliding partitions along one wall of the room allow customers to see how lights
look on brick, wood, paneling, and wall paper. An accurate representation of the lighting's appearance,
strength, and color cast is possible, easing the selection process considerably.
The dramatic effect lighting choice has in conjunction with a mirror or against
a wall surface can indeed set the atmosphere for an entire room, an item that
cannot be overlooked. It can make the difference between feeling comfortable or
as if "under a spotlight" in otherwise well-designed space (especially in the
evening). If customers planning to build a new home are able to choose fixtures
and bulb types from the lab first, there is an added advantage of pre-wiring,
increasing the possibility of getting the look and amount of illumination the
customer is really after.
