FREE basic specification and sourcing-requirements review
Eligible first orders may receive up to 3%
Eligibility applies to qualified business buyers and is confirmed after we review your product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements. Final savings depend on supplier confirmation, product type and order value.
Requirements, factory inquiries and quote comparison for floor lamp manufacturers. We do not operate a lamp plant.
Buyer brief
Quantity, destination, overall height and base footprint, plus source and switching arrangement for each line.
Who will approve the model, sample and final order on the buyer side.
For floor lamp manufacturers, collect the buyer’s quantity and destination together with overall height and base footprint and source and switching arrangement. Ask each proposed supplier to name the exact model, included parts, packing and delivery scope. Separate unanswered requirements from accepted equivalents; the buyer approves the final order.
Quote totals are not comparable when one factory includes the LED source and another prices a shade-only kit. Reach and shade geometry belong in the same brief as accessories such as floor switches, in-line dimmers or extra shades. Delivery scope must state whether cartons are delivered to a US warehouse, a hotel dock or a third-party consolidator. We do not invent a factory list from search ads; matching starts from the written configuration.
Supplier reply
Named model, included attachments and packing unit for each quantity line.
Currency, trade terms, freight, taxes and any service fees as quoted, plus exclusions.
A manufacturer reply should identify the drawing revision that supports the height and footprint. If a substitute tripod angle or shade diameter is offered, it must be labelled as a proposed equivalent, not silently swapped. Documents such as listing files or IES photometric files, when requested, must be tied to that model rather than to a company letterhead. Floor Lamps Sourcing can flag missing fields; we cannot certify that a listing applies to your jurisdiction.
Who confirms each handoff
Stage
Buyer input
Coordination task
Brief
Dimensions, electrical interface, quantity and destination.
Identify open specification questions before factories are asked to price.
Quotation
Which accessories and packing units are mandatory.
Compare inclusions, exclusions and whether shade geometry matches the brief.
Sample
Acceptance points for the assembled lamp and dimming behaviour if specified.
Coordinate supplier confirmation; the buyer records pass or hold.
Open inquiry options when the configuration is still a family name. Use sample planning when a dimmable floor lamp must be approved in a room position. Return to the checklist article if several rooms share one carton program.

Include specifications, quantity, destination and requested timing so factory replies can be lined up on the same scope.
