Understanding Product Specifications

When purchasing light fixtures from QuickShipLights.com, it’s crucial to thoroughly review the product specifications rather than relying solely on photos. Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Sections in a Specification Sheet

    • Electrical Specifications: Voltage, wattage, and current requirements.
    • Physical Dimensions: Size, weight, and mounting options.
    • Light Output: Lumens, color temperature, and beam angle.
    • Material and Finish: Construction materials and available finishes.
    • Environmental Ratings: IP rating, operating temperature range, and certifications.
  2. Understanding Part Numbers

    • Light fixture part numbers often contain multiple parameters that indicate specific features or options, such as size, finish, or light output. Even a small difference in the part number can result in a significantly different product. Always verify that the SKU matches the specifications you’ve selected.
  3. Customizable Options

    • Many fixtures offer customizable parameters, such as dimming options, lens types, or mounting configurations. Ensure that these options are correctly selected on your order to avoid receiving an unexpected product.
  4. Importance of Verification
