In a strategic move, Progress Lighting has introduced resources and fixture collections that encourage individuals to create unique lighting designs by mixing and matching their favorite fixtures within the same space. To support this initiative, Progress Lighting has introduced collections that coordinate and complement with other pieces – to create a cohesive feel to the home, while also reinforcing a unique design style.
