Is Lighting Supply a fit for your store?
Order values are on the lower side, so this works best as a range-filler alongside higher-ticket lines rather than as the anchor of a store.
They also sell direct to consumers, so you would be competing with your own distributor on price. Ask where they stand on that before committing.
No MAP policy is listed, so expect price competition from other resellers and plan your margin with that in mind.

How to open a wholesale account with Lighting Supply
- 1. Check the fit. Confirm the product types and price range match the store you are building, and that the minimum order is within your working capital.
- 2. Look legitimate first. Most distributors want a real website, a business email on your own domain, and a resale certificate before they open an account.
- 3. Ask which brands are actually available to you. A distributor carrying many brands does not always have all of them open to new resellers in your territory.
- 4. Ask about MAP. Knowing whether pricing is enforced tells you whether your margin is protected from being undercut by other resellers on the same catalogue.
