What to Stock Before End of Year Projects
When the holidays creep in and the fiscal calendar starts closing out, things move fast. Contractors are hustling to wrap up projects. Facility managers are trying to spend the rest of the budget before they lose it. And everyone’s working against colder weather and tighter schedules.
Now’s the time to stock up — before you're stuck waiting on products when the work won’t wait.
Here’s what should be on your shelf (and your crew's truck) before year-end deadlines hit hard.
1. Restock Your High Bays
If you're working in warehouses, gymnasiums, or large indoor spaces, high bays are non-negotiable. And nothing slows a job down like realizing you're short halfway through an install.
Stock these now:
- Linear high bays with wattage and CCT selectability (flexible for last-minute spec changes)
- DLC Premium options for rebate eligibility
- Emergency backup and sensor-ready versions for add-on installs
We’ve got multiple wattage options ready to ship. Some even deliver up to 60,000 lumens, ready for high-clearance jobs.
2. Panels & Troffers for Office Retrofits
Offices, schools, and public facilities often aim to finish lighting upgrades before fiscal year-end. If you’re bidding or working on those jobs, panels and troffers should be ready to roll.
Top picks to stock:
- 2x2 and 2x4 LED flat panels, backlit for long-term performance
- Troffers that swap easily with legacy fluorescent
- Selectable options to dial in CCT on-site
These installs move fast — if you’ve got the right products on hand. And with bulk pricing available, it pays to order ahead.
3. Need It Fast? Use the Filter
Tight timeline? Last-minute change? No problem. If you need products that ship quickly, we’ve made it easy to find.
Just head to any product category and use the “Get It Fast” filter on the left-hand side of the page. That’ll show you options that are ready to move — no digging, no guessing.
This is especially helpful for time-sensitive installs like:
- Office retrofits during holiday shutdowns
- Facility upgrades with year-end budget windows
- Outdoor lighting swaps before snow and ice set in
Don’t wait until you're stuck — use the filter up front and get what you need when you need it.
4. Bulk Buys = Fewer Delays, Bigger Savings
If you’re running multiple installs or bidding on a big contract, buying in bulk now can save you time and money.

Don’t Let Missing Products Stall the Job
December hits hard — short weeks, long lead times, and customers who want everything wrapped before the break. If you’ve got the products, you get the job done. If you don’t, you’re calling around while someone else finishes first.
Bottom line: Stock up now. Keep your crew moving. And finish the year strong.
