Questions about this product category
Can a lighting design use custom colors or materials?
Share drawings, material references and quantities. Decoration changes and changes to the electrical design need to be identified separately.
Can lighting for different destinations be quoted?
State the destination and installation requirements for each version. Product configuration, evidence and instructions need to match the proposed market.
Can outdoor-use claims be included?
Define the intended environment and the evidence required for that use. The supplier and specialist review route should be agreed before relying on a performance claim.
What are the minimum order quantity and lead time?
They depend on the product, material, variants, customization and supplier. Share quantities by item and your target date so the proposal can identify the available route, sample stages and production assumptions.
