Wholesale Lighting Supplies: What You Should Look for in a Commercial Vendor

Jan 31st 2017

Every single day, there are advancements in light technology, which means there are continuously more options to choose from when it comes to light bulbs, light fixtures, light manufacturers, and light distributors. So, when you are looking for the right commercial light vendor, what do you begin to look for?

Your initial instinct may be to look at price. Naturally, you want the lowest price for the light bulbs and fixtures you purchase, because finding the lowest price generally means saving your company and your company’s clients the most money; however, finding the lowest price does not always mean getting the most bang for your buck in the long run, because, in the end, your #1 priority should be acquiring the best lighting solutions for your specific project.

To achieve this, it is imperative that you find a commercial light vendor that is capable of delivering the products you need and one that can assist you with making your project the most successful it can be.

Know What You Need and Find Out if They Have it

The first step in finding the best commercial light vendor is to find a distributor who has what you need.

Undoubtedly, lighting is flexible, because just one project can have a number of different solutions. Therefore, you must determine which lighting solutions are the best options for your project in regards to technology, efficiency, brightness, color temperature, purpose, price, etc. Then, you need to find a vendor that has precisely what you want.

If you are interested in testing products before you buy, then you can ask distributors if they supply product samples or if they have showrooms where you can test out products. This way you can be sure you are satisfied with the products before you buy.

When looking to purchase light products, you should take into account warranties and certifications for each light bulb and fixture. Also, it’s important to keep Class 2 Compliance in mind.

Find Out How They Ship Products

After you find a distributor that has the products you want and you are interested in ordering, then you need to see if they can successfully deliver your order by the time you need it. You should also consider the price of shipping and how the products are going to be delivered to you.

Basically, you want to know how fast you can get your hands on the products you order. Find out if the distributor ships the same day you place an order or how long they typically wait to ship orders. If you want your order fast, then find out if the company offers rush orders and how long it will take for you to get your order this way.

Something else you should find out is if the distributor has what you need in stock, because if they don’t have enough inventory to fulfill your order, then it will take them longer to complete your order and the time it takes for you to get your order will be extended.

Learn More About The Company and its Reputation

Once you find a company that has what you need and you know they can deliver your order when you need it, then it’s time for you to consider the company: who are they?

You might look at how long the company has been in business. Or, you might check to see what their customers have to say about them. You could even give them a call to see how their customer service measures up. Do they put their customers first?

You want a distributor that is going to help you out if you need it, even after you’ve received your order. During the ordering process, they might help you choose a better light solution for your project than you were thinking. Or, perhaps they might help you get a better price.

After you receive your order, you want a supplier that is going to be there for you if you need them and answer any questions you might have.
