Q3 Pulse of Lighting Survey Now Open

Labor Day has come and gone which means the unofficial start of fall is upon us and that Q3 only has a couple of weeks left. It also means that it’s time for our Q3 Pulse of Lighting survey.

Whether you work for a lighting manufacturer, an electrical or lighting distributor, a lighting agent or an independent manufacturer rep and represent a / some lighting lines, we need your input.

The market is in flux. Macro dynamics (defined as the Fed) is creating uncertainty with some reporting that they are starting to see a slowdown. Conversely, others have shared that “business is steady / as busy as it has been”.

At the same time, some still suffer from supply chain issues while others are reporting price related “sales” / “flash sales” indicating that some manufacturers either have too much inventory or are desperate for sales.

While many went into Q3 expecting a strong quarter, it seems that Q3 may be an inflection point making the “tea leaves” hard to read.

Which is why we need your help. Share just 2-3 minutes and let us know how your Q3 lighting business is shaping up and we’ll share a report you can use to benchmark your performance versus the industry. And perhaps, more importantly, we’re asking respondents to share their Q4 outlook and what they are hearing from contractors, specifiers and ESCOs about their activity levels looking out over the next 6 months (and you know that this may be the strongest indicator of the market.)

While industry forecasters are projecting a slowdown, industry-wide, our Pulse of Lighting Report will provide a product category perspective from the channel.

We’ve already heard from a number of people, who will receive the free report, courtesy of William Blair. All input is confidential and we only need a couple of minutes, but we need it before Friday, September 16th.  Click here to share your input.
