Anyone familiar with HGTV programming has probably heard of Mike Holmes—the Canadian builder/contractor who first gave us Holmes on Homes—a show that featured the expert Holmes swooping in to save homeowners from renovations gone wrong. Now, with more than eight reality series to his name and over 100 episodes of different projects, Holmes is back with another new home improvement show, Holmes Family Rescue.
This time, Holmes teams up with his kids, Michael Jr. and Sherry, in a new 12-episode series to rescue clients who have nowhere else to turn after living through botched construction jobs. (If this sounds like your thing, you can check out new episodes of Holmes Family Rescue on HGTV Saturdays at 8 PM EST.) Keep reading to see the LED lighting products featured in the show that are available right now at PROLIGHTING®.
We see recessed lighting projects getting plenty of airtime in today’s home makeover shows because it’s a relatively simple and inexpensive way to make dramatic changes to a space. Depending on how they are used, installing recessed downlights can achieve a clean, more contemporary look, or add depth and character as accent lighting. From an interior design perspective, it’s an unobtrusive and effective way to light a space and can make a room instantly look bigger.
Recessed lighting is a great choice for rooms with low ceilings like finished in basements—another recurring theme in these home improvement shows as homeowners aim to maximize all usable space. It can also be a more affordable general lighting solution for certain rooms, as opposed to trying to pick out expensive pendant fixtures or elaborate chandeliers. And because you don’t want to knock your head on hanging fixtures or sconces that stick out too far from the wall, recessed lights are also ideal for tighter areas like hallways and small bathrooms and powder rooms, where you want as much open space as possible.
It’s no surprise that our friends at Lotus LED Lights provided the LED recessed downlights featured in the home renovation projects on Holmes Family Rescue, since both Holmes and the company are based in Canada. With headquarters in Vancouver, Lotus is known throughout the industry as experts in recessed lighting—designing, producing, and distributing their signature slim LED recessed fixtures across North America. Lotus LED recessed downlights are high-quality, with many different models and unique features available (most notably, no housing is required)—making them the preferred choice for electricians, homeowners, builders, architects, interior decorators, designers, and DIY-ers alike. Lotus products are easy to install and provide excellent lighting results for endless applications.
Like other successful lighting brands, Lotus stays ahead of the competition by releasing new, innovative products on a regular basis and upgrading current models—keeping up with trends like CCT adjustability, dim to warm, high output, and other options that homeowners and contractors are looking for. Lotus holds the design patent for its revolutionary connection box with integrated driver, so you’re free to place Lotus LED fixtures even in the tightest and hardest-to-reach places in your home, including areas that would otherwise be impossible with traditional recessed lighting installation requirements.
Following the introduction of their 1/2″ thin downlight back in 2010, Lotus’ wafer-style LED downlights have continued to dominate the market. Lotus’ 4 and 6-inch Super Thin LED Builder Grade models are a favorite among electrical contractors doing home and commercial renovations, and will help your project stay under budget. The latest update to the Builder Grade series is a Dim to Warm model. Warm dim technology is gaining in popularity because of the aesthetically pleasing light it provides. Simply put, warm dim technology allows LED lights to dim down to a warmer color temperature, replicating the effect of incandescent and halogen bulbs. With warm dim, your LED lights provide that comforting, amber glow while remaining energy efficient.
The Lotus LED Economy Series, the newest addition to the Lotus line, is another great choice for recessed at a reasonable cost. Available in 2 and 4-inch round and square models, the Economy LED Downlight features CCT adjustability and a variety of reflectors for more customization.
Launched during the pandemic, Lotus’ Sloped Ceiling LED Gimbal has quickly grown as the best-selling downlight for sloped and vaulted ceilings available at PROLIGHTING®. Designed with a 30º trim, the Sloped Ceiling LED Gimbal features a 38º beam angle, 20º tilt, and 360º rotation—making it the perfect solution for wall washing and wall grazing. The regressed-style gimbal is available in 4 and 6-inch models, and will work for vaulted and sloped ceilings up to 55º.
Need something with wet and damp location approval? Look no further than the Lotus Steam Shower LED Downlight. Lotus LED Steam Shower Downlights are ideal for general lighting above showers and tubs where a waterproof fixture that can withstand high amounts of moisture is needed.
