What to confirm before sourcing lighting, hardware, and accessories
Decorative lighting, switches, handles, locks, railing hardware, and project accessories. For overseas projects, the important work is to define the exact scope, quote basis, packing expectation, and approval record before deposits are paid.
Useful checks
- Lighting and hardware selection
- Voltage and certification awareness
- Small-item consolidation before shipment
- Destination country, delivery address type, and installation expectation.
- Product images, dimensions, finish, material, quantity, package size, and CBM.
- Payment schedule, production lead time, inspection point, and replacement policy.
Recommended workflow
- Send room list, drawings, or reference images.
- Build a product schedule with one row per item.
- Compare suppliers by details, not only by unit price.
- Confirm samples, finishes, and packing before bulk production.
- Collect production, packing, and loading photo records.
