Lighting and Fixtures
Pendants, recessed cans, ceiling fans, under-cabinet light and signs, plus tracking down the fixture or outlet that quit.
Chapter 01
Pendants, cans, fans and the light under the cabinet
Most of what Craine's has hung is easy to see in a room. Globe pendants over a kitchen island with four stools. Three orb pendants over another. Violet LEDs glowing under the cabinets of a dark kitchen. A light bar over a bathroom vanity. Each one starts as a box in the framing, and where that box goes decides whether the light lands on the counter or on the cook.
The gallery runs past the home kitchen. Recessed cans and track in an auditorium. Edison-bulb pendants in the wood-plank tray ceiling of an entry. A black cage pendant with a gold starburst, and a matte-black eight-blade ceiling fan on a wood beam. In a church sanctuary under a vaulted wood ceiling, rows of pendants run the length of the room.

Signs and storefront light
Lighting is not only for rooms people live in. A sign is a light fixture that has to carry a business name across a parking lot, and it needs the same careful circuit behind it as anything hung inside. Craine's handles sign lighting for the businesses it wires, from Springdale across Northwest Arkansas and into Southern Missouri.
Lara Bowen, who has Craine's work on her studio, wrote that the crew was fast to respond in the heat of the summer, with a happy team of staff, and that they clean up so well when they finish. She needs that, she explained, because customers come into the studio all the time. Her last line was about the lights: “we love our sign.”
Chapter 03
Tracing the fixture or outlet that quit
Some lighting calls are not about adding anything. A fixture goes dark, an outlet stops working, and nobody can see why. Replacing faulty outlets and breakers is part of what Craine's does for homeowners, and the harder version is the one where the fault is hiding somewhere along the run and has to be found before it can be fixed.
Lucy Claypool wrote on Craine's website that the crew showed up early and went to extreme measures to locate a faulty outlet. It took a little over an hour to find. Once they had, the fix took about five minutes, and they moved on to the next job. She called the company fair, honest and reasonable. Call (479) 750-1672 when a circuit will not behave.
