Description | Upon entering Kilowatts, the customer sees a gallery lineup of light fixtures along the entire left and right walls. The original wooden floorboards creak with each step further into the shop. Occupying the center of the shop are three, four-foot wide, floor to ceiling dividers displaying wall mount light fixtures. A cashier stands at the furthest end of the shop behind a counter that spans the width of the space. Behind the countertop, floor to ceiling shelves display the stocked variety of light bulbs as well as four foot wide spools of chains, cords and cord coverings. Beside the shelves are also card catalog style floor to ceiling drawers containing hooks and hardware for mounting light fixtures.
