Lighting: quotation checklist

Prepare a complete lighting sourcing brief, identify missing information and download an RFQ template.

SPECIFICATION FIRST

What information is needed for a lighting quotation?

Application and mounting
Indoor or outdoor location, installation method, fixture dimensions and drawings.
Electrical and controls
Voltage, wattage, driver reference, dimming or control requirement.
Light and protection
Colour temperature and any buyer-specified optical or protection targets, with the requested test methods.
Order and documents
Quantity per model, finish, destination, labels, packing and required reports.

The categories describe buyer enquiry scopes, not a verified supplier catalogue or available stock. Exact models, technical evidence, origin, condition, compatibility and commercial terms require item-level confirmation.

CONTROL THE OPEN QUESTIONS

Prepare the brief before asking for a final price

  1. Use one line per product or configuration. Give photographs, drawings and samples matching line IDs and revisions.
  2. Separate agreed requirements from missing information. Ask the supplier to identify substitutions explicitly.
  3. Use the lighting checklist above to define the sample and acceptance scope. Do not supply guessed specifications.
  4. State the destination and named delivery place. Record the proposed trade term, payment terms, quotation validity and lead-time starting condition.
  5. Resolve technical and commercial deviations in writing before approving a sample or purchase order.

Illustrative review — not an actual supplier quotation

Match fixture dimensions, driver, power and control configuration. If Offer A matches the brief but Offer B proposes a different configuration, first label the difference. Request a revised or clearly separate alternative offer; neither a cheaper unit price nor a similar image resolves that discrepancy.

RFQ RESOURCES

Keep the enquiry traceable

The downloadable plain-text template includes buyer requirements and a separate supplier-response section. Copy it into your email and attach labelled references. It contains no price, stock or approval promise.

Information basis: RootReach buyer-requirement guidance derived from the published category enquiry checklist. Examples are illustrative, not supplier specifications, test results or completed customer projects.

SAMPLE APPROVAL & SUPPORTING EVIDENCE

What should be checked before approving a lighting fixture sample?

Confirm fixture dimensions, mounting arrangement, light source, driver, controls and installation conditions. State the requested light characteristics and protection requirements rather than inferring them from a photograph.

What to request from the supplier

Tie requested test evidence to the fixture and driver configuration offered. Record whether light sources, mounting accessories and controls are included.
