Each year in January, more than 200 lighting manufacturers from all over the globe gather at Dallas Market Center for Lightovation. Formerly known as the Dallas International Lighting Market, it’s the largest lighting showcase in the industry – and the world.
Planning the lighting design for a renovation, remodel or new construction can be overwhelming. You have so many choices to make (besides lighting!) and there may be a point where you don’t much care what the light fixture looks like, just get it working already! But don’t succumb to fixture fatigue … ALL of the rooms of your home deserve to be well-lighted, and that includes the often forgotten spaces: laundry & mud rooms, hallways and secondary entries.

In early January 2022, long-time Mahlander’s Sales Manager Rosie accompanied two new lighting consultants, Kristen and Alisha, on their first-ever trip to Lightovation at Dallas Market Center.
When visiting our Sioux Falls showroom, you’ll see some new faces: Mahlander’s welcomes two new Lighting Consultants to our sales team. Alisha and Kristen have joined the ranks, filling places previously held by recently-retired staff. “We’re so happy to have Kristen and Alisha in the Mahlander’s family,” says Sales Manager Rosie Kindt. “We appreciate their fresh ideas, energy and cheerful personalities.” Starting within weeks
Giving any room in your home a quick and easy update can be as simple as changing out a light fixture. It is a great way to infuse your unique style into a space, make a statement or create a dramatic new focal point in a room. But there are some important things to remember, particularly when it comes to scale.
Many homeowners neglect their outdoor light fixtures, but maintaining them is equally important as any other electrical appliance, indoors or out. Fortunately, it’s not difficult to maintain your outdoor lighting. Simply add a few simple tasks to your to-do list every now and then; they’ll go a long way toward ensuring your outdoor lighting lasts.
Exterior lighting is often an afterthought, particularly with all the decision-making involved in new construction or remodeling. But it is important – and here’s why.
You’re likely familiar with light-emitting diode or LED technology; it’s become quite common in light fixtures, streetlights, commercial lighting, and replacement light bulbs. But did you know LED lighting provides several long-lasting benefits, including energy savings, less toll on the environment, and better light quality.
