Are you working on a Commercial Lighting, Municipal Lighting or Industrial Lighting project? Do you know whether you should purchase from a LED Lighting Manufacturer, Distributor or General Contractor?

There are many ways to find and purchase LED lighting products for your projects. However, which is the best choice among a LED lighting manufacturer, distributor, and general contractor ? Generally speaking, the answer varies based on the specifics of your circumstance.
Here is a brief overview of the three most popular methods:
You can give the task of finding energy-efficient lighting options to your general contractor. Perhaps they cooperate with a specific distributor (whether it is national, regional, or local). The lighting products of the contract might also be placed out to bid with a variety of wholesalers. Your single point of contact is responsible for managing the situation in any scenario (the GC). Change orders, inventory, and billing will all be handled by the GC. If the cost of led lighting project isn't the most important concern, you'll probably spend more for the service but have fewer worries.
When creating a facility from the ground up and taking into account a variety of factors, working with a general contractor is typically the best choice. In this situation, using the GC as the only point of contact to oversee the entire project makes logical.
However, there are a few issues to be aware of when working with a general contractor:
1. Make sure the contractor has a good justification for awarding various project components to various LED lighting wholesalers. Purchasing from various vendors will make it more challenging to take advantage of volume savings.
2. Controlling quality can be challenging. A GC will frequently make an effort to buy a product from the most affordable supplier. To avoid problems in the future, it is crucial to have standards or specifications that call for a minimum degree of performance or quality from lighting goods.

You can get LED lights from a distributor instead of a general contractor. If you choose to deal with a distributor, you will probably save money by cutting out a third middleman (the general contractor) in exchange for the additional work necessary to locate and manage the distributor connection (your GC might do this for you but will likely charge on top of whatever the distributor charges). Working with a distributor directly has a number of benefits:
1. Many distributors will oversee the entire product implementation process.
2. Because they are connected to the numerous businesses producing lighting products, distributors are likely to have extensive knowledge of the wide range of lighting options available on the market.
3. Contractors can be given a single set of lighting specifications from a single distributor, giving them a single benchmark to compare their purchases to. A single buying guideline will guarantee uniformity throughout the many geographical areas and the various contractors you might be working with.
4. Distributors can build up a lighting procurement program to make sure that timing and budgetary concerns are recognized and addressed in advance.
5. Regional or local distributors might be able to acquire items swiftly and save money by offering shipping to your region at a lesser rate.
Working with a lighting distributor is your best chance if you want to know what's new, what works best, which LED lights are great quality and which are rubbish. Additionally, there is typically no need to contact a general contractor if you are performing a lighting retrofit or conversion at your current facility (as opposed to new construction). In either instance, you must manage the bid process and put the project up to bid. If the project's entire scope is limited to lighting alone, there is no benefit to using a middleman. However, if you choose to hire a general contractor, there is a significant probability that they are collaborating with a distributor. Lighting distributors may typically assist you by providing knowledge of state and federal rebates or financing choices in addition to having the most expertise on lighting industry trends, new products, and companies.
