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

lighting-solutions, integrated-lighting-systems, shade-operationsDesigning and installing light control systems for upscale homes requires something that delivers sophistication, functionality and convenience at the highest level. Owners of luxury homes won’t settle for “adequate.” They want outstanding.

HomeWorks® from Lutron has been the leader in light control for luxury homeowners for more than a decade because it provides convenient, intelligent and sophisticated control of a home's lighting and shades, and can also be integrated with security and audiovisual systems. In addition to outstanding functionality, HomeWorks' stylish architectural- and designer-style controls also enhance a home’s décor with centralized dimming panels that provide control of multiple zones of light in a room—or throughout the entire home—from a single point using the seeTouch® Tabletop keypad. And this keypad even allows homeowners to check the status of lights or shades in other areas of their home.

Lutron’s Sivoia QED® (Quiet Electronic Drive) controls offer “touch-of-a-button” convenience for operating shades smoothly and in precise alignment. Sivoia QED can operate the entire Lutron line of automated window treatments, including roller shades, drapery track systems, Kirbé® Vertical drapery system, tensioned shades and Roman shades with CERUS® Safety Technology. All these shade options are custom-manufactured, operate with ultra-quiet, low-voltage drives, and are available with a variety of fabrics and control options—providing luxury homeowners with the functionality and unique styling they demand.

The Kirbé Vertical drapery system takes uniqueness in drapery styling to a whole new level. Whereas traditional draperies move side-to-side, the Kirbé Vertical drapery system smoothly pulls drapes up and completely out of the way of the window.

Owners of luxury homes demand high performance, convenience and unique styling. If you’re looking for high-end, integrated solutions for a luxury home, shoot me a note, and I’ll be happy to work with you to create a solution that will meet and exceed the requirements of even your most demanding client.
