Watts Lights and Lumenary Pro Announces Strategic Partnership to Disrupt the Smart Lighting Industry
Founded by industry trailblazer Mike Bennett , Lumenary Pro is changing the game with its premium, white-glove remote sales model. After personally selling over $1 million in smart lighting systems, Bennett realized that the traditional way of delivering home services no longer aligned with how modern homeowners want to engage. His vision: a streamlined, digital-first process focused on high-touch service, curated consultations, and premium lighting solutions that add long-term value—not just seasonal sparkle.
'Smart lighting isn't just decoration for Christmas—it's security, curb appeal, and convenience,' said Bennett. 'We're helping homeowners make permanent upgrades with a process that's as modern as the lights themselves.'
When developing the concept that would become Lumenary Pro, Bennett knew he needed partners who were as innovative as the idea itself. That's why he teamed up with Black House Marketing , a creative and performance-driven firm based in Calgary, Alberta. Together, Mike, along with Jayde and Zachary Syrnyk of Black House Marketing, became the founding members of Lumenary Pro.
Jayde, renowned for generating over $100 million in attributed sales through her authentic UGC-style ad videos, brings a sharp edge to content strategy. Zachary, a paid media architect with a proven ability to drive down cost per acquisition, leads the advertising efforts. This partnership bridges exceptional technology with best-in-class marketing and sales execution.
Their combined efforts are building a coast-to-coast network of smart lighting professionals, empowering contractors and entrepreneurs alike to enter the rapidly growing permanent lighting market under a unified, forward-thinking brand.
The partnership is built on the foundation of Watts Lights' industry-leading technology. As one of the most advanced smart lighting manufacturers, Watts provides the core product and cloud-connected, app-controlled platform that Lumenary Pro's network will deliver. Watts Lights are engineered for superior durability and all-season performance, ensuring the premium, long-term value Lumenary Pro promises its clients.
'This partnership represents a perfect union of best-in-class technology and best-in-class market execution,' said a Watts Lights spokesperson. 'We have spent years engineering the most durable, customizable, and user-friendly permanent lighting system on the market. In Lumenary Pro, we have found a partner who can deliver our technology to homeowners with the high-touch, premium experience it deserves. Together, we're setting a new standard for the industry.'
Together, Lumenary Pro and Watts Lights are charting a new course for how home services are delivered—blending technology, marketing, and personalized service to meet the needs of today's homeowner.

Mining billionaire welcomes Trump tariffs on copper
A leading North American mining entrepreneur, who wants to open his own US copper mine, has welcomed plans for a 50% tax on copper imports. Robert Friedland, the billionaire founder of Vancouver-based Ivanhoe Mines and Ivanhoe Electric, told the BBC the tariffs would help re-establish the US copper mining industry. US President Donald Trump has already introduced steel and aluminium tariffs and a 50% copper tariff is due to come in on 1 August. Critics have argued that tariffs are inflationary and will push up prices for American consumers, but Mr Friedland said the president's approach was aimed at strengthening national security by building important industries at home. US will hike tariffs on copper to 50%, Trump says Faisal Islam: Trump's tough tariff tactics are getting results Copper is an essential metal for the modern global economy and green technology in particular. It is used in everything from buildings and power grids to electric vehicles and data centres. "The new administration in the United States is correctly focused on making sure that the world's largest economy actually has stable access to raw materials at the scale of that economy, rather than being dependent on far-flung and potentially unstable jurisdictions," he said. Last year, the US imported about 50% of the copper it used. The biggest sources were Mexico, Chile and Canada - which has hit out at the move. "We'll fight against it - period," said Canadian Industry Minister Melanie Joly. When Trump announced the tariffs on social media earlier this month, he said they would allow the US to "once again, build a dominant copper industry". Global demand is soaring thanks to growing industrialisation and the surge of new technologies that rely on electricity. The International Energy Agency (IEA) is warning that without more mining, global copper demand will be 30% higher than supply by 2035 as demand from China and India continues to soar. US demand spurred by the impending tariffs has pushed the price of copper to record highs - a trend that Mr Friedland warns will only increase due to the metal's scarcity. However, those higher prices risk broader economic damage such as delays in construction projects, according to Ewa Manthey, who is a commodities strategist at the Dutch bank ING. "Copper is a foundational input in everything from electronics to manufacturing and construction. When prices rise, so do production costs which can feed into broader inflation," Ms Manthey said. She pointed out that pressure came as the US central bank was already resisting Trump's calls to cut interest rates amid its ongoing struggles to get inflation back to its 2% target. The US was once the world's biggest producer of copper and still has plenty left in the ground, but has fallen behind Chile, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Peru. Its refining capacity has also been falling. In 1997, there were 11 smelters, and now there are only three, which means American copper has had to be sent abroad for processing. Meanwhile, China's share of global refining capacity has grown to 44%. A report commissioned by industry body the Copper Development Association concluded that making the most of American reserves required increasing processing capacity in the US. Mr Friedland, who has joint US and Canadian citizenship, made most of his mining fortune from his company's vast operations in southern Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo, but he is working on opening what will be America's first new copper mine in more than a decade. The Santa Cruz project in Arizona is expected to start production in 2028 and will, he says, deliver copper that is so highly refined it can be used in electronics, modern cars and data centres without requiring processing at a smelter. And with computer chip maker TSMC and electric car manufacturer Lucid Motors coming to Arizona, Mr Friedland thinks the copper produced will never leave the state. Other companies are also racing to mine more copper in the US but have been held back by permit delays and legal challenges. The billionaire insists Trump's desire to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US will mean even more raw materials are needed and there will be a "continued scramble" for metals. But others are doubtful Trump's economic shake-up will be good for growth. "For the sake of national security, you may be willing to give up certain amounts of economic efficiency" says Adam Posen, President of the Peterson Institute for International Economics. However, the wide-ranging tariffs will, he argues, be detrimental to the US. "That's a very big set of costs to impose on the huge range of people, almost essentially everybody in the US." Trump says US may not reach trade deal with Canada Who are the winners and losers in US-EU trade deal?

Sales at Kering-owned luxury brand Gucci drop 25%
On Tuesday, France-based Kering, the owner of well-known brands such as Gucci and Balenciaga, reported worse second-quarter financial returns than what was expected. It pointed to "uncertain" global factors. Gucci sales dropped 15% year-on-year to around $4.27 billion versus its projected $4.5 billion. Over the quarter, Gucci sales also went down 25%. File Photo (2021) by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo July 29 (UPI) -- France-based Kering, the owner of Gucci, on Tuesday reported lower second-quarter financial returns than what was expected, pointing to "uncertain" global factors. Gucci sales dropped 15% year-on-year to about $4.27 billion versus its projected $4.5 billion. Over the quarter, sales at the Italian luxury brand also went down 25%. "Though the numbers we are reporting remain well below our potential, we are certain that our comprehensive efforts of the past two years have set healthy foundations for the next stages in Kering's development," company Chairman and CEO François-Henri Pinault said in a statement acknowledging the disappointing numbers. Stock value in Kering fell nearly a quarter in the past year alone. Kering, which owns other brands such as Bottega Veneta and Saint Laurent, noted that sales were weaker across the board primarily in Japan and the Asia-Pacific region. Saint Laurent, the second-largest Kering-owned brand, also saw sales down by 10% in the quarter. On Tuesday, Kering's CFO Armelle Poulou told the Financial Times that sales in Gucci improved among North American consumers. She added its Bottega eyewear division had grown by a single digit. The company says in an economic and geopolitical environment that "remains uncertain," it continues to "deploy its strategy with the aim of achieving a profitable long-term growth trajectory." In an email, Third Bridge analyst Yanmei Tang told CNBC that Kering is facing a "tough reality as its two main luxury markets, China and the United States, are under strain." The French luxury group announced in 2021 that it banned the use of animal fur across all Kering-owned companies.
