Sourcing
Finding the right part, from the right factory, at a price that works
Our core is electronics and LED lighting. Around that, we have sourced almost everything — because customers ask, and because the same factory relationships and the same process apply whatever the part is.
Electronic components
Resistors, capacitors, transistors, PCBs, cables, wiring, connectors and wire harnesses. Also pre-assembled boards — a PCB populated with LEDs, resistors and whatever else the design calls for, delivered ready to install rather than as a bag of parts.
LED lighting
The category we know best. LED strips, modules, bars and tubes in T5 and T8, lamps, projectors and floodlights. Power supplies, drivers and controllers to match them, because a good LED on a poor driver is a poor light.
For signage, architectural and decorative lighting, product displays and advertising, the specification matters more than the part number: beam angle, colour temperature, colour rendering, ingress protection, and whether the driver is rated for the environment it will actually live in.
Everything else
Office chairs. Hinges for display fixtures. Security tethers for phones in retail displays. Reflectors for trucks, and the moulds to make them. Custom boxes, printed tape, packaging. If it is manufactured in Asia and you can describe it, it can usually be found — and if it cannot be found, it can be made.
How a sourcing enquiry runs
- What we need from you
- What the part does, roughly how many, where it is going, and any specification you already have. A photo or a competitor's part number is often enough to start.
- What you get back
- Options with real specifications and real prices, and an opinion on which one actually suits the job.
- Samples
- Before any bulk order, without exception.
- Inspection
- Goods checked before they leave the supplier, not after they reach you.
- Languages
- English and Spanish with us; Mandarin with the factories.
If you already know exactly what you want, send the specification and we will quote it. If you do not, that is the more common case and the conversation is the same.
