May Monthly Special at The Light House

It's May, and that means the warm summer months are finally upon us. And what better way to stay cool than with a new ceiling fan? The Light House is running a special on Minka Aire Ceiling Fans this month!

We are offering 20% off all ceiling fans to help you beat the summer heat! Our showroom will feature Minka Aire fans. We will have more than 60 on display, and we have a great selection to choose from! From the contemporary Light Wave fan to the traditional Supra models, you are sure to find the right size and fit for any room in your home.  

The new Dyno fan featuring a built in LED light kit is a best seller for bedrooms and kitchens. This 52-inch fan comes in three different finishes, and it is an excellent value! It is also quiet and efficient. 

Looking for a fan for  a larger room? We have several models in a 60-inch size with remote controls. 

Minka also features a variety of outdoor rated fans from which to choose from. They come in several sizes, finishes and styles.  

So hurry in and take advantage of the May ceiling fan sale at 20% off our already low prices! 

We are also having two other great sales:

1. 20% off any post light

2. $10.00 off any lamp shade

Be sure to hurry in soon! These sales end on Saturday, May 30.

Ceiling fans are an excellent way to help beat the summer's heat. They are a great supplement to air conditioning because they can help keep the cool air circulating throughout a room. And if the weather turns mild and cooler outside, you can leave your ceiling fan on to help circulate the cool air as it is blown in from outside. 

Ceiling fans can also be a huge help if your air conditioner breaks down. You can keep air circulating and still stay relatively cool while you are waiting for the repair men to show up! This is especially good for the upcoming dog days of summer when the outside temperatures get almost unbearably hot.

If you would like to take advantage of these great sales on ceiling fans, post lights or lamp shades, call The Light House at 302-239-8290, visit our store on Yorklyn Road in Hockessin, Browse Our Site or Contact Us. But hurry! These sales end on Saturday, May 30.

Lighting Trends for 2015

A new year brings new lighting trends for Maryland homes. We here at The Light House stay up to date on the latest and greatest in lighting trends and styles. So here are a few of our favorites for the upcoming year.

Energy Efficiency

People want to help save the environment and save some money while they are at it. So for 2015, we expect to see even more interest in energy efficient light bulbs and LED lighting. LED lights last twice as long as the standard compact fluorescent light bulbs, and they are great when you need light in a target direction. Plus, they are safer than other light bulbs out there because they do not emit heat.

Mini Chandeliers and Other Pendant Lighting

Nowadays, people seem to be more interested in lighting and other accessories that are more unique looking. Mini chandeliers and pendant lighting are great ways to add your own unique style to your home without sacrificing functionality. These types of lighting come in a huge variety of styles, colors and patterns, so no matter what you are looking for, chances are you will find it. This is also a great way to get some task lighting in your home. So if you want a reading area but you don’t want to settle for a standard reading lamp, hanging up a mini chandelier will illuminate your book and add some pizzazz to your home décor.

Metal-Finished Lighting

You can get the look and feel of bronze and other metals with metal-finished lighting. This type of lighting is great for rooms like your kitchen and bathroom, where you might have other features and accessories with a metal look or finish to them. Your entire kitchen, bathroom or any other room in your home will benefit from metal-finished lighting. Your home and its rooms will definitely have a more cohesive and stylish look.

Lighting for Your Home

You might think lighting for your home in PA is all the same, but that is definitely not the case these days! There is such a huge variety of lighting on the market that it is easy to get confused about what is available and what purposes it serves. Here is a rundown of different types of lighting for your home that we carry here at The Light House.

Task Lighting

Task lighting focuses on a small area, like a desk or chair. It is used for reading and similar functions. Some examples of task lighting include desk lamps, reading lamps and floor lamps. It is a great type of lighting for you home that will help you stay focused on whatever it is you are doing. It is also great for helping you focus on details. So, for example, if you are working on an art project, task lighting will help you see your project better and in better detail.

Ambient Lighting

As one of the most common types of lighting for your home, ambient lighting gives you just enough lighting for whatever it is you’re doing, but it does not illuminate an entire room. Examples include pendant lights, chandeliers, sconces and wall lights. Another name for ambient lighting is “mood lighting.” You can set just about any tone or mood for you home that you want through this type of lighting solution.

Landscape Lighting

As the name implies, this type of lighting for your home lights up your outdoor living spaces and landscaping. This type of lighting is great for entertaining outdoors after the sun has set. And even during the winter time, landscape lighting is great to help you show off any hardscaping you might have. Plus, if you ever need to go into your yard after dark, even when you are not entertaining, landscape lighting is a great way to make sure you have plenty of light to see by!

Accent Lighting

This type of lighting is even more concentrated that task lighting. Its purpose is to draw your eye to an object. So if you collect something or you have a certain piece of artwork on your wall, accent lighting is a great way to light up the object while adding some drama and style. You can light up the objects you want people to focus on while darkening objects or areas you don’t want them to focus on.
