When shopping for LED lights, it’s important to consider factors like color temperature, brightness, and energy efficiency to ensure that you select the right product for your needs.

Buying LED Lights Shop lights through a contractor

You can delegate the responsibility of choosing the lighting design to your general contractor. The management responsibility falls to your general contractor, he will manage inventory, change orders, and invoicing. Having a general contractor will make you to invest more but you will have less to worry about.

If you want to use a general contractor for your building purposes you need to have in mind the following:

• Make sure the contractor has a good reason to bid out different pieces of the project to different LED lighting distributors. Dividing your purchase among multiple vendors will make it more difficult to achieve volume discounts.  

• Quality control can be an issue.  A general contractor will often attempt to obtain the lowest cost product from the lowest cost provider available.  It is important to have standards or specifications that require a minimum level of performance or quality of lighting products to ensure that you do not run into issues in the future

• Distributors are likely to have broad expertise in the vast quantity of lighting choices available on the market because they are close to the various companies putting out lighting product.

• A single distributor can specify certain lighting requirements for contractors so that there is a single standard against which to judge their purchases. A single purchasing specification will ensure consistency among the various geographic regions and the multiple contractors you could be working with.

• Many manufacturers will only sell through a distributor so you increase the available product choices by working with a well-connected distributor.
