Design from products that are in stock or on quick ship programs. 

It never fails. You spend hours, days or maybe even months designing a project and then you get the phone call from the contractor that says, “We’ve got to be off the project in 2 weeks and the fixtures you picked are 6 weeks out.  What do you want me to use?” This usually results with the designer making compromises late in the 4th quarter just to satisfy this demand. 

Here’s a better solution. Check manufacturer’s websites for quick ship programs or talk to your representative after creating a fixture schedule and ask, “Are there any modifications to these fixture catalog numbers that will guarantee short deliver times?” Usually, we can change one or two small things on the part number to ensure it is in stock or it will ship soon. This may mean using a diffuse reflector instead of a specular. Or it may mean using generic ballasts instead of specific ballasts. These small changes can really impact lead-time without compromising the quality of the lighting job.

At Luminosity we are pleased to accommodate these requests. In the end, it usually makes everyone’s life easier and the project finishes on time without compromises.

Here are just a few of our companies offering quick ship programs or short lead-times:
