Three Hidden Gems at HE Williams
I firmly believe that HE Williams should be your go-to general illumination brand. I have a few reasons for this, but that’s for another post. In addition to the form factors you have always expected from Williams, here are a few hidden gems that make this line more than meets the eye.
The BP Flat Panel
Flat panels are almost by definition *not* special, but Williams has managed to elevate them with their “Skylight” Detail. This simple addition raises the lit surface about 2” into the ceiling plane, reducing glare and elevating everyone’s VE option to something a bit more designed.
The 2” Downlight
Few manufacturers offer a 2” downlight, and fewer offer one with as many options as Williams does at such a competitive price (email me for pricing).
Some features to note:
15-degree beam available
True 45 Degree Tilt
Angled lens Trims for maximum adjustment
Warm Dimming / Tunable white (Note narrow beam down to 20 degrees)
CX Cove and PX Perimeter Series
While Williams makes all of the meat and potatoes recessed troffer, strip light, wrap, and highbay solutions you would expect, you might not expect them to make a line voltage cove solution and a perimeter family that includes a slot, a washer, and a grazer. These are all solid solutions that include telescoping adjustable ends and performance optics.
Bonus Hidden Gem - Avi-On Controls
If you’re not at least considering wireless controls, you’re late to the party. Avi-On is a scalable enterprise-grade Bluetooth control solution, and they are the wireless solution for HE Williams. Williams will OEM with other control brands, but the tight partnership with Avi-On plugs can make nearly any Williams fixture fully controllable out of the box with no special modifications; just add it to the product code.
