The complete lighting package, on site when the ceiling is open
Bid the lighting package with confidence, get alternates approved before they cost you schedule, and receive fixtures, drivers and hardware complete for each area.
Short answer
SuppLux gives electrical contractors one source for the lighting package: a quote that covers every schedule type including custom linear runs, alternates with side-by-side comparisons for the design team, and delivery planned around the site schedule. Custom linear runs arrive as complete systems (sections, corners, joiners, drivers, mounting hardware) labelled to the layout.
Key takeaways
- Bid-ready quote for the whole schedule, including custom linear systems.
- Alternates documented so they are easier to get approved.

Avoiding the usual linear lighting problems on site
- Short or long runs. Field-measure before release where ceilings or walls are not built yet. See installation tolerances in the continuous runs page.
- Undersized drivers. Every driver is sized to the connected load with headroom. See how to size an LED driver.
- Wrong dimming protocol. The dimming protocol (0-10V, DALI, phase) is confirmed against the controls spec before release.
- Missing hardware. Joiners, end caps, suspension kits and feed kits are quoted and shipped with the run.

Frequently asked questions
Can you supply only the linear lighting portion of a job?
Yes. Many contractors use SuppLux for the custom linear package and buy the rest through their usual distributor.
