We were founded in 2016 as a division of Plyler Supply Company, a wholesale exterior building supply distributor that has served the Piedmont Triad since 1991. The showroom is located inside the historic Thomasville Furniture warehouse and distribution building on Ivy Avenue, a 215,000 sq ft three-story brick warehouse that Plyler Supply purchased and renovated. The building is a recognized piece of Winston-Salem's industrial heritage and gives our showroom a distinctive industrial-craft feel that you won't find in a typical retail lighting store.

While most of our customers come from across Forsyth County and surrounding areas, including Greensboro, Clemmons, Lewisville, Kernersville, and Advance, we regularly welcome clients from all over North Carolina who make the trip to visit our showroom. **Q: Do I need an appointment to visit the showroom?** A: You don't need an appointment to stop by during our open hours, but we strongly recommend booking one. Our team is often working with clients on the floor or out on job sites, and a scheduled visit ensures someone is available to walk you through the showroom and help with your selections. **Q: What lighting brands do you carry?** A: We carry a wide range of premium lighting brands at every price point, and we'll work with you to stay within your budget. Our vendor list includes Millennium Lighting, Savoy House, Quoizel, Quorum International, Hinkley, Satco/Nuvo, Craftmade, Fanimation, Crystorama, Kichler, and many others. Visit our Vendors page from the nav to see the full lineup. **Q: What's the typical lead time on a lighting order?** A: Lead times depend on a few factors, including where you are in your project. Lighting typically goes in toward the end of a build, and we're happy to warehouse your fixtures for as long as you need after purchase. We do keep some stock on hand for quicker turnarounds, but most special orders take roughly 1 to 3 weeks from order to delivery, depending on our freight schedule. **Q: Can you help with a whole-home lighting plan for a new build or renovation?** A: Absolutely. Whole-home lighting plans are one of the things we do best. For our builders and nearby clients, we'll come out to the job site after rough-in and before drywall to walk through every space, identify the fixtures and fans you'll need, and help select the right pieces for your budget. For homeowners, we recommend bringing in a floor plan or photos of your space so we can give you focused, practical guidance on what will work best. ## Product Categories We carry nine major fixture categories: 1. **Chandeliers** — Statement fixtures for dining rooms, foyers, two-story spaces, and primary bedrooms 2. **Pendants** — Single and grouped pendants for kitchen islands, breakfast nooks, and accent lighting 3. **Hanging Lights** — Linear and cluster hanging fixtures 4. **Ceiling Lights** — Flush and semi-flush mounts for hallways, bedrooms, and lower-ceiling rooms 5. **Wall Sconces** — Hallway, bathroom, bedside, and accent sconces in modern and traditional styles 6. **Outdoor Lighting** — Wall lanterns, post lights, hanging porch lights, and landscape fixtures 7. **Ceiling Fans** — Indoor and outdoor fans, including premium Big Ass Fans for great rooms and porches 8. **Bath and Vanity** — Vanity lights, mirror-mounted fixtures, and bath sconces 9. **Bulbs** — LED, smart, dimmable, and decorative bulbs for every fixture we carry ## Vendor Brands We Carry We carry 27+ premium lighting and fan brands at every price point.

Plyler Supply was started in 1991 in Winston-Salem by Chris Plyler as a wholesale exterior building supply distributor. The company opened a branch in Danville, Virginia in 1995. Today, Plyler Supply primarily serves local builders across the Piedmont Triad with a focus on customer service and broad in-stock inventory. Plyler Supply moved into its current home, the historic 215,000 sq ft Thomasville Furniture warehouse at 1245 Ivy Avenue, in 2014. The building still has its original overhead chain conveyor system, repurposed furniture trolleys, and other features of its industrial heritage on display. Camel City Cabinetry, our sister company, was started by Plyler Supply in 2009 during the economic downturn. It has grown into a premium custom-cabinetry design and supply business with over 40 years of combined design experience on the team. Camel City Cabinetry is located in the same building as The Lighting Loft. Together, the three companies — Plyler Supply, Camel City Cabinetry, and The Lighting Loft — serve nearly every part of the residential building process under one roof. ## Service Area We serve customers across the Piedmont Triad and beyond, including: - Winston-Salem, NC (primary) - Greensboro, NC - High Point, NC - Clemmons, NC - Lewisville, NC - Kernersville, NC - Advance, NC - King, NC - Walkertown, NC - Forsyth County (countywide) - Davidson County - Guilford County - Davie County - Stokes County - Yadkin County - The greater Piedmont Triad and beyond Customers regularly visit our showroom from across North Carolina. ## Who We Serve **Homeowners**: Planning a new build, a remodel, or a single-room lighting refresh.
