A Case for the Local Lighting Showroom

We as lighting designers are driven by the desire to provide better lighting for everyone. Whether you are considering lighting for a single piece of artwork, a room in your home, an entire estate, or a commercial high rise – a lighting designer can provide the knowledge and understanding that will save you time and money.

Many think that it is more convenient to shop online.  This is true for household necessities like toilet paper, pantry items and things like books.  They’re easy purchases, where you can see all the details in the description.  What you see is what you get, and it’s much easier when you don’t have to leave the house!

However, when it comes to quality lighting for your home, it is difficult to make that decision from your sofa.  There are so many variables!  Gauging the size of the fixture and choosing a finish can feel like a shot in the dark when all you have to choose from is tiny photos on a website.  And, it’s hard to know how the fixtures will work in your home since your ceiling height, room size and even paint color can have a huge impact on how it looks once installed!

This is why it’s a better choice to stop in and visit your local lighting showroom.  Lighting professionals are happy to walk you through the many options available.  Many, like our team at Creative Lighting Designs, will even come out to your home to take a look at your project and give you firsthand advice on your best options.  We are passionate about lighting, and we have the knowledge and expertise to outfit your home with the best lighting out there.  And, if there’s ever a problem with your order, you will be speaking with someone that chances are, you have met and not some faceless person from a 1-800 number.

One final point is that Internet Minimum Allowable Price (IMAP) policies have leveled the playing field on prices at both lighting showrooms and internet retailers.  You may be surprised to find that the pricing at your local showroom is even less than the price online-and you won’t have to worry about broken fixtures and return fees.
