What’s Going on In Lighting?

2019 has started with a bang. We’ve had lighting manufacturers sold. A lighting manufacturer go bankrupt and a major company becoming a public entity. And this is on top of a market that has dealt with weather in many parts of the country and the continued uncertainty of tariffs. Oh, not to mention continued new product introductions / innovations. So, lot’s going on … and positive for many based upon anecdotal feedback.

To help gauge the market it’s time for our Q1 Pulse of Lighting Survey. We need your input by March 18th. (the survey is now closed. Results will be shared in early April. A copy of the report will be available in the Research section for $19 or email us to be advised when it is available.)

The survey is open to distributors, lighting / control manufacturers as well as manufacturer reps / lighting agents. It should take 1-3 minutes to complete.

In exchange for your insights, respondents can receive a free copy of the results.

Key outputs from this quarter’s report will include:

• Q1 lighting industry performance
• Q2 outlook
• Role of lighting controls
• Hard vs Soft vs No Specs
• Inventory and Backlog insights
• Market drivers

and more.
