One lighting standard and one price book across every site
Retail rollouts, office fit-outs and property portfolios need the same fixture on every site, at a known price, delivered when the ceiling is open. SuppLux manages that as one record per programme.
Short answer
Multi-site lighting procurement works best with a fixture standard (an approved product per application), a price book for those products, and one order record per site that tracks what was specified, approved, ordered and delivered. SuppLux sets this up from your existing specs, proposes approved alternates for supply risk, and manages ordering and delivery for each site so every location gets the same product at the agreed price.
Key takeaways
- Standard fixtures per application, with approved alternates for supply risk.
- Agreed pricing applied to every site’s quote automatically.
- Each site’s order tracked from quote to delivery in one record.
- Custom linear lighting made to the same specification every time.
What changes when lighting is bought as a programme
| Without a programme | With SuppLux |
|---|---|
| Each site specified and priced from scratch | Sites quoted against an approved standard and price book |
| Substitutions decided site by site | Approved alternates agreed once, used everywhere |
| Linear fixtures vary between sites | One stored configuration per application |
| Orders and deliveries tracked in email | One record per site: quote, approval, order, delivery |
Setting up a lighting standard
- Collect the specs and schedules from recent projects.
- Normalize them into applications (open office, corridor, retail wall, back-of-house) and one approved product per application.
- Add alternates for every product with supply risk, compared attribute by attribute.
- Agree pricing for the standard, then quote each new site against it.
Why it matters for custom linear lighting
Linear lighting is usually the most visible and most customized part of a commercial interior. Keeping it consistent across sites means locking the whole configuration, not just the product family. See custom linear lighting and how to specify it.

Frequently asked questions
We already have a lighting standard. Can SuppLux work from it?
Yes. Send the standard or the last few project specs. SuppLux turns them into a structured catalogue of approved products and applications, then quotes new sites against it.
How do you keep custom linear fixtures identical across sites?
Each approved configuration (profile, length rules, lumen package, CCT, CRI, optic, finish, driver, dimming) is stored as one specification and reused for every site, so site B gets exactly what site A got.
Send us the spec. We will do the matching.
Upload a fixture schedule, a spec section or a drawing set. You get a line-by-line match, alternates and a quote back from a person who knows lighting.
