Sample Planning
Define sample acceptance for smart street lighting before project quantities. Confirm the model and accessories against the approved schedule. Record any alternative optic or control node for review instead of accepting it as an automatic equivalent. Tie the acceptance record to the proposed smart street lighting model and quotation revision. This page is not a laboratory report and does not assign a fixed sample transit time.
Agree model, configuration, sample quantity, and whether sample charges are credited. Write the distribution and supply voltage you will actually use; a sample that is never mounted on the intended tenon does not test the pole arm interface. Name the control system: photocell only, 0-10V dimming, or a networked node. Ask which accessories ship with the sample—photocell, surge module, and a matching driver if the luminaire cannot be judged on a bench supply you already own.
Record fit on the approved mounting drawing, optic appearance, and whether the control node enumerates on the buyer’s system. Compare luminous appearance only as a buying observation, not as a published luminous flux certificate unless the factory provides a document for that exact model and setting. This desk does not run an integrating-sphere or goniophotometer session; photometric evidence is the factory IES photometric file for that optic and correlated color temperature setting, and site illuminance remains the project team’s calculation. Note any mismatch between the quoted dimming interface and the sample’s actual control hardware.
Document the accepted smart street lighting configuration, the quotation revision, and unresolved control system and document requirements. If the sample used a dummy photocell and the project needs a networked node, that gap stays open. The buyer—not this sourcing desk—confirms whether the assembled roadway system is suitable for the site.
Unresolved items should travel back into the RFQ rather than being treated as silent equivalents. Catalog labels remain on Find Lighting. Quote scope alignment is on How We Help. Send the sample brief from Ask Us. The written checklist is the procurement article.
You can request factory quotes for smart street lighting while listing which optic and control-node checks are still pending. Missing acceptance points stay visible; they are not filled with a generic “controller compatible” sentence.
Optional budget and supplier preference may be attached as buying preference. We will not invent a sample lead time or a pass/fail laboratory grade for a piece we have not seen.
