Transforming Your Garage with Layered Lighting Design
If your garage lighting currently consists of one lonely bulb hanging from the ceiling or a fluorescent tube or two, then we have a lot to discuss. Let’s be honest.

Certifications to Look for in Sustainable Lighting
You’d love shopping for lights back in the day. It used to be so simple: you’d go to the store, pick the brightest bulb for the cheapest price, and call it a day.
