For contractors, developers, and project procurement teams, lighting is never just a product choice—it’s a schedule decision. Model-home deadlines, inspections, punch lists, and final handover all depend on predictable lead times. When customization turns into a slow, complicated process, timelines slip and costs rise.
Herman Lamps is built around one goal: make custom lighting fast, simple, and project-friendly.
The Common Problem with “Well-Known Brands”
Many recognizable retail or designer brands are optimized for standard, ready-to-ship SKUs—fixed sizes, fixed configurations. When a project needs real-world adjustments (drop height, proportions, canopy details, multi-size sets, phased delivery), teams often run into the same blockers:
- No customization offered — only standard sizes and configurations.
- Customization exists, but it’s complex — too many steps and too much back-and-forth.
- Long and uncertain timelines — weeks become months, making schedules harder to protect.
- Not project-friendly — limited flexibility for tight builds, model-home timelines, or phased delivery.
It’s not that those brands are “bad”—their systems are designed for retail standardization, not project-driven customization.
Herman Lamps’ Advantage: Contractor-Friendly Custom Workflow
We designed a streamlined custom process that reduces friction and accelerates decisions. You provide the essential project inputs, and our team drives the process—so you can keep the job moving.
Fast, clear, and simple—our custom timeline
- Free drawing & design support — translate requirements into a clean confirmation plan.
- Drawings in 1 business day — faster review, faster approvals, faster lock-in.
- Sampling in 3–4 days (when needed) — validate scale, details, and overall look.
- Production in 25 days after sign-off — a pace you can plan around.
- No complicated steps — fewer rounds of confirmation and less administrative drag.
A Timeline You Can Actually Plan Around
We break customization into three straightforward stages—each with a clear deliverable and expectation:
- 1 Day: Drawings / confirmation package (free)
- 3–4 Days: Sample / validation (when needed)
- 25 Days: Production after approval
For project teams, this means you can finalize specs earlier, lock procurement sooner, and protect downstream installation and turnover dates.
Best Fit for These Project Types
- Contractors — tight schedules, clear milestones, fewer delays.
- Developers — model homes + phased builds that require predictable lead times.
- Hospitality & commercial spaces — multi-unit orders, fixed opening dates, multiple sizes.
- High-end residential builds — where proportions and drop lengths must be exact.
