Lighting reps, distributors & controls

Fixture counts for quotes, before the coffee's done.

A bright idea: stop counting lights by hand.

Upload the lighting plans. Sweinstein reads the luminaire schedule, counts every fixture type on the plans, and flags types that appear in one but not the other.

Measure on top of the count

Trace lighting circuit and control runs and total the lengths. Lengths are worked out exactly from each sheet's confirmed scale. The AI traces; the math is done in code.

Ask about your local code

Ask about lighting and energy code rules for your region. Answers quote the code books your company uploads and follow the project's province or state. They are a reference, not legal advice.
