Lighting Universe Opens Designer’s Gallery At The Seattle Design Center

Lighting Universe extends its market reach by opening its fourth lighting showroom targeted to Designers and their clients.

(PRWEB) March 14, 2005

Filling demand is where Lighting Universe began five years ago, and it continues to do so at the Seattle Design Center. Lighting Universe, a full-service resource for high-end custom residential and commercial lighting, brings designers over 250 manufacturers and over 500,000 products via their new location in Plaza Suite 391.

“We are here to simplify the designers’ process for specifying lighting. We offer everything from one location – no more searching through an overwhelming number of catalogs,” explains owner Gary Rubens. Lighting Universe represents nearly every high-end brand of lighting on the market and has consolidated all of the their catalog data into one web site searchable by a variety of topics: room-specific, product type, manufacturer, what’s in stock and more, which can all be accessed in their new showroom.

The newest and more popular lighting products are on display in the showroom. Qualified lighting salespeople and certified lighting designers are on hand to help, offering minimal to full electrical and lighting plans as well. They all train regularly with manufacturers and are consistently familiar with the intricacies of each line.

Their website offers unique tools for the designer, such as the “project manager” and “print project spec sheet” functions which allow designers to build a spec book for clients and contractors, complete with or without pricing, markups, job information, and specific instructions.

The Lighting Universe Designer’s Gallery is located at the Seattle Design Center in Plaza Suite 391, 5701 Sixth Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98108.
