Four questions to ask your lighting supplier

When you’re tackling a big project, whether it’s construction, putting on a festival or organising a large socially distanced outdoor event, you don’t want to take any chances. You want to know that you have everything double and triple checked, from the reliable power supply that will allow you to get started to the sign-off sheet to make sure that all the equipment is accounted for after it’s all finished, not to mention ensuring that it can still go ahead as planned. With that in mind, it’s so important to make sure that you have a supplier that you can trust, who can offer you a wide range of options, and is flexible enough to work with you.

Now, lighting is a pretty broad category that covers a range of needs for a whole host of different projects, but without light, we can’t work, can we? You are going to want to be sure that you can rely on your supplier to deliver on what they promise and what you need, so here is a quick checklist for you to run through.

Do They Understand Your Needs And Are They Flexible Enough To Meet Them?

As we mentioned, there are a host of projects for which you could require the services of a professional lighting hire business, and one of the most important questions to ask is: do they know what you need? Are they going to try and force what they have fit your requirements, or are do they have enough options available to actually deliver the gear that is suitable for your project? To make sure that you don’t end up with a supplier trying to give you the same lighting for a construction site that they would normally give an outdoor rock concert, talk to them ahead of time to make sure that they have a) worked on a similar project previously, and b) have enough options available to fit your specific location and budgetary needs.

Do They Have The Right Experience?

This ties into the above point, but it’s always important to remember that one of the most reassuring points in favour of a supplier you have never worked with before is experience. Can they point to similar projects they’ve worked on in the past? Is there a variety of different projects that they have found the right lighting solutions for? Do they have the kind of name brand options that you would expect from a professional business? If you’re looking for lighting hire, you’re looking for expertise and experience, and Energy Distribution Hire has been supplying eco-friendly lighting options to a host of business across a wide range of sectors.

Are They Available 24-7?

When you get started on a project, you want to hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. The last twelve months have been unbelievably unpredictable and the year ahead is going to be full of challenges, so only a very foolhardy person would assume that everything would go off without a hitch. That goes for the health of your staff, it goes for the weather, and it goes for your equipment. When you’re browsing the options available for lighting hire, you want to make sure that they are going to be available to help and support in any eventuality. Look for a company that provides 24-hour support and an emergency call-out service to get you back up and running as quickly as possible.
