powerfull shalom illouzYou may have seen a familiar face on the cover of CE Pro this month. One of our integrators- Powerfull Systems in Los Angeles, was featured on the cover of the magazine. What should interest distributors, contractors and lighting specifiers is that Powerfull Systems has built a successful business by focusing solely on shading systems and lighting control.   

Powerfull Systems started in 1998 when lighting control was a luxury. Working with high-end homes with lots of windows, he started encountering the need for shade control on many of the lighting projects. About this time Lutron Electronics was entering into the shading market and together Shalom and Lutron have grown the category to where it is today.

Shalom estimates that the shading accounts for 60% of their business with lighting control accounting for the other 40%. By focusing and specializing on these two components – Powerfull systems has created a niche with jobs that cost as high as $400,000.

If you are interested in growing your electrical business and becoming an expert in shading and light control – we suggest you take a look at the following classes descriptions HERE

If you’re an architect, designer or the person who specifies shades for upscale homes or commercial projects, you know that there are clients for whom “the same old thing” simply won’t suffice when it comes to window coverings. When these clients want innovation, they want more than just automated window treatments (although they want that, too). They want style.

50Shades resized 600That’s why the introduction of the new Lutron Coulisse Collection is such a big deal. This new collection marries the strengths of the world leader in light control with one of the premiere European brands in window fashion. The result is a collection of automated daylight controls that will capture the eye of even the most demanding client.

Even hard-to-please clients will be impressed by the breadth and uniqueness of the choices they’ll have. Of course, with more than 700 high-fashion fabrics and materials for roller shades, innovative pleated shades and Venetian blinds from which to choose, who wouldn’t be impressed?

With the new Lutron Coulisse Collection, window decorations are more than just products; they’re an expression of style and individuality. These window treatments aren’t merely functional (although they live up to the innovative and reliable functionality for which Lutron is known). These treatments have become interior style elements in their own right. And because Coulisse offers such a broad range of fabric options and styles, architects, designers and those who specify automated window treatments can find something for everyone.

So if you’re looking for high-end window treatment for a discerning or demanding client who won’t be satisfied with the same old solutions, shoot me a note and I’ll be happy to help you find just what he or she is looking for. Or better yet, download the full Coulisse Catalog here.
