Which lighting leads have a decision maker and deserve a site walk
Every enquiry captures project type, building category, and timeline alongside decision-maker status, so you can see whether a lighting layout already exists before booking a site walk. Photos of the space and any existing electrical plans arrive with the lead, already scored and routed to your CRM.
The exact intake your commercial lighting leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Commercial Lighting — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified commercial lighting lead should tell you
Design, installation, retrofit, or repair of interior and/or exterior lighting systems in a commercial building, scoped by project type, building category, square footage, and whether a lighting layout has already been prepared.
- Lighting Project
- Primary Location Lighting Work
- Category Best Describes This
- Own Or Manage This
- Lighting Layout Or Electrical
- This Project Completed
- How Large Space Or
The questions your team needs answered
Every commercial lighting intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of lighting project do you need? | The project type answer tells you upfront whether you're scoping a full install, a retrofit, a repair call, or just a design conversation, each requiring different site walk prep. |
| What is the primary location of the lighting work? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Which category best describes this building? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Do you own or manage this property, or represent the decision maker? | Confirming ownership or decision-maker status separates leads that can actually approve work from those still gathering information for someone else. |
| Has a lighting layout or electrical plan already been prepared? | Knowing whether a lighting layout already exists tells you whether the site walk starts from design work or from an existing plan you can quote against directly. |
| When do you need this project completed? | An immediate timeline signals a lead ready to move now, while an exploratory answer flags a longer sales cycle worth different follow-up. |
| Roughly how large is the space or area needing lighting work? | Square footage gives a rough scope indicator before the site walk, helping you gauge whether the project matches the scale of work you take on. |

Built for commercial lighting workflows
| Cliont capability | Commercial Lighting application |
|---|---|
| Conditional follow-up prompts | When a customer indicates a lighting layout or electrical plan already exists, the intake can prompt for that document upload; when none exists, it skips straight to project scope questions instead. |
| Weighted lead scoring | Decision-maker status and an immediate timeline carry the heaviest weights in this catalog, so an owner needing lighting work now scores well above an exploratory design-only enquiry. |
| Automatic uploads request | The intake can request photos of the current fixtures or space and any existing lighting plan before the site walk, so your team walks in with visual context on interior, exterior, or mixed scope. |
| CRM routing | Leads that combine a real decision maker, a defined project type, and a size range are routed to your CRM as site-walk ready, separate from design-only or exploratory submissions. |
Common commercial lighting lead scenarios
Owner needs new install fast
A property owner requests a new lighting installation and marks the timeline as immediate. The intake flags decision-maker status and urgency together, ranking this above vague or exploratory requests.
Large retrofit, no plan yet
A facilities manager wants a retrofit across a 25,000+ sq ft warehouse but no lighting layout has been prepared. The intake surfaces the missing plan so you know a design conversation comes before pricing.
Tenant asking on owner's behalf
Someone submits a repair request but isn't the property owner or decision maker. The intake captures that gap up front, so you can confirm authorization before quoting anything.
Design-only inquiry, exploring options
A developer wants design or planning work only and selects a 6-month or exploratory timeline. This combination signals a longer sales cycle, distinct from an immediate installation request.
Repair job with plans in hand
A retail manager needs a repair and already has an electrical plan prepared. The intake routes this as a faster, more scoped conversation since the layout groundwork is already done.

Commercial Lighting lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake separate new installations from repair or design-only work?
The project type question asks the customer to choose between new installation, retrofit or upgrade, repair or maintenance, and design or planning only, so each lead arrives already sorted into the type of conversation you need to have.
What happens if the person filling out the form isn't the property owner or decision maker?
The intake asks directly whether the submitter owns, manages, or represents the decision maker for the property, and that answer carries meaningfully more weight than a 'no,' helping you spot leads that need authorization confirmed before a site walk.
Does the intake ask whether a lighting layout already exists?
Yes, the form asks whether a lighting layout or electrical plan has already been prepared, which tells you before the site walk whether you're starting from a design or scoping one from scratch.
Can I tell whether the job is interior, exterior, or both before I schedule anything?
The intake captures the primary location of the work as interior, exterior, or both, so you know what kind of site conditions and fixtures to expect walking in.
How does square footage factor into how a lead is prioritized?
Customers select a size range from under 5,000 sq ft up to over 25,000 sq ft, giving you a rough scope indicator alongside project type and timeline before you commit site walk time.
How is this different from the new construction electrical intake?
Commercial Lighting focuses on fixture, control, and layout scope for existing or planned buildings, while New Construction Electrical covers the broader electrical build-out; each subservice uses its own catalog of qualifying questions.
