“What I Wish I Never Knew!”

Luminaire sales and distribution involves a series of complex operations. First, the lighting designers design the lighting with product selections based on their conversations with manufacturers and sales reps.  From there, there are sales agencies (in-territory and out-of-territory), distributors, contractors, overages, markups, margins, shipping, taxes, more markups, oh my!

Join a panel with Archit Jain, IALD, LEED® AP, Principal at Oculus Light Studio, along with Chip Israel, FIALD, Founder and CEO of Lighting Design Alliance and Lisa Passamonte Green, Principal Designer and CEO of VisualTerrain as as they discuss the life of lighting specifications after design and as they get installed on projects. What do they do to keep the lighting specs moving through the supply chain, how do they keep an eye on pricing, make sure everyone is being honest, and what do they see as the future of this process?
