Trade Professionals
Your True Partner in Design and Building
As a designer or builder in Central Florida, your success depends on three things: your vision, your reputation, and your efficiency. You excel at the vision, but your reputation and efficiency are often held hostage by logistics. You spend countless non-billable hours chasing tracking numbers, negotiating freight, storing fixtures, and dealing with the inevitable damage claims. It’s a frustrating part of the job that eats into your time and, more importantly, your margins.
What if you could offload that entire backend process and get better pricing?
At Lightstyle of Orlando, our Trade Professionals program is built to do exactly that. We’re not just a supplier; we are your local, logistical partner. We designed our program to absorb the friction of the sourcing process, allowing you to focus on what you do best: creating beautiful spaces and managing your clients. Apply today.
Lightstyle Designer Advantage
Our trade program is built on three pillars that directly address the needs of designers and builders:
Aggressive Rates
We leverage our combined buying power and long-standing vendor relationships to secure pricing that often rivals or beats the "direct" deals you might get from manufacturers, protecting your bottom line.
Exclusive Lines
Differentiate your projects with access to unique, high-design vendor lines that aren't available through big-box stores or common online retailers, giving your clients a truly custom feel.
Local Service
When you have a question or a problem, you don't call a national queue. You call our Orlando showroom and speak to a real person who knows you, your project, and the local market.
Why Partner with Lightstyle?
When you partner with us, you gain an operations manager for your lighting package, all at no extra cost. We handle the details that drain your day.
Aggressive Rates: Our "Designer Direct" pricing is highly competitive. We understand your need to protect margins, and our rates are structured to ensure you remain profitable.
Exclusive Vendor Lines: Your clients hire you for your unique eye. We support that by providing access to trade-only collections, preserving your design authority and preventing your selections from being easily price-shopped online.
Freight Savings: This is one of the biggest "hidden costs" in the industry. We’ve negotiated standardized, aggressive freight rates with our key vendors, eliminating those costly, unpredictable surcharges that kill your budget.
Free 60-Day Storage: Job sites are chaotic. Stop risking delicate fixtures arriving too early. We will receive, inspect, and securely store your entire lighting package in our local warehouse for up to 60 days, completely free of charge.
Consolidated Deliveries: Stop managing 10 different deliveries from 10 different vendors. We consolidate your entire order—even from multiple manufacturers—and deliver it in one shipment, on one truck, with White Glove Service, exactly when you're ready to install.
Damage Claims Managed: A cracked shade or a missing part is your problem. When you buy from us, it's our problem. We handle the inspection upon arrival, manage all vendor follow-ups, and expedite replacements, saving you hours of administrative hassle.
Local Accountability: We are your partners, right here in Central Florida. You have a dedicated local team that provides real, immediate solutions.
The Hidden Costs of Buying Direct
That "direct" price might look good at first, but what is it really costing you?
Freight surprises that add up fast: What looks like a good deal direct from the manufacturer often gets eroded by exorbitant, last-minute LTL freight and fuel surcharges.
Time lost chasing vendors and claims: How many hours have you wasted on hold trying to track a missing part or report a damaged item? That's non-billable time you'll never get back.
Storage headaches on job sites: Fixtures get damaged, lost, or stolen when stored in a garage or an unfinished room. Using your job site as a warehouse is a costly risk.
Multiple shipments to coordinate: Your electrician has to be scheduled multiple times to accommodate staggered deliveries, which blows up your labor budget and project timeline.
With Lightstyle, those costs disappear.
