Whether you are a specifier, installer, distributor or end-user of lighting products, there is an abundance of choice when it comes to choosing a manufacturer. Mergers and acquisitions have made large manufacturers larger with an ever-increasing array of products and services in their mix. So why consider a smaller independent lighting supplier?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few reasons you might find interesting. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

1. Innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quite often it is small manufacturers that bring new and revolutionary products to market for the first time.  Just look at the wide range of flexible, linear lighting<\/a> products available today \u2013 most of them evolved from rope lite products introduced by small independent companies in the 80s and early 90s \u2013 including Magic Lite. Another great example is fiber optic lighting, which Magic Lite brought to Canada in the late 80s and 90s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Service<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to say that large conglomerates don\u2019t offer great service, but smaller manufacturer often go  above and beyond the norm in this regard.  Smaller companies work incredibly hard for their \u201cshare of the pie\u201d and personalized service is often what sets them apart and earns them their business and reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need an extra part delivered to a job site immediately or a custom solution to a unique lighting challenge?  Many small manufacturers \u2013 Magic Lite included \u2013 thrive in these situations and are eager to help.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Ease of doing business<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Order customization, payment terms, quick delivery turn around, warranty support, access to instant answers – these are some of the many tools small manufacturers have at their disposal to make doing business with them easy. Their agility makes it easy for them to accommodate where larger firms may not be able to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can also be refreshing for a buyer or influencer to deal with a smaller manufacturer with the ability \u2013 and willingness \u2013 to \u2018meet in the middle\u2019 to create a win-win situation for both parties (as we do). Having direct access to both the leadership team and dedicated support staff is another distinct bonus of working with one of the little guys, which often leads to great long-term partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, not all small companies will portray the traits mentioned above and one must be diligent in vetting candidates when choosing whether to do business with a particular supplier.  But there are hundreds of established and highly capable smaller lighting manufacturers out there eager to earn your trust and build a long-term relationship \u2013 including this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
