Six Reasons HE Williams Should Be Your Go-To General Lighting Partner
Every specifier has their go-to general illumination brand. You know what I mean. The automatic spec for the stuff you need but don’t necessarily want to think much about. One of them kind of rhymes with scrutiny, and I bet you can guess the other.
But for me (and increasingly my specifiers), HE Williams is that brand. I know it might be challenging to change habits on this if it’s not broken, right? But here are some reasons to work with Williams beyond their extensive product portfolio.
Made in the US
The 400,000-square-foot factory floor in Carthage, Missouri is a beast churning out American-made products every single day. Being locally made means a couple of things:
Speed
Williams lead times are consistently short and reliable. But when typical 3-4 week shipping won’t work, go to the quickship page. You’ll get anything you need shipped in 48 hours or less.
Customization
Maybe you want to do a custom color? Maybe you need a funky output? HE Williams may have massive production capabilities, but they are still a small enough (and privately owned) company that you can have direct access to the people who can make modifications happen.
Total Vertical Integration
From pick-and-place equipment for their own LED boards to their own paint line, HE Williams is totally integrated. So in the end, everything just works.
Quantity Estimator
Writing a spec quickly for a small job and no time for AGI? The quantity estimator has gotten me out of a jam many times, it’s on every HEW product page.
Product Builder
Doing a linear run? Making a pattern? Use the product builder to customize your run of fixtures and come away with a reference number you can include in your specifications. That reference number will be the basis of the shop drawings williams submits for approval.
