What is the typical lead time and process for custom or modified fixture requests?

Lead times for custom or modified fixtures typically range from 3–8 weeks, depending on complexity, engineering requirements, and production schedules. Simple modifications (e.g., custom stem length, standard color change) may ship in 3–4 weeks. More complex designs requiring new tooling, fabrication, or supplier coordination (e.g., custom plastic components, large-diameter globes, multi-port canopies) can take 6–12 weeks.

The process begins when you submit your request—including drawings, inspiration images, specifications, and quantities—to sales@bocklighting.com. Our technical and engineering teams review feasibility, create drawings if needed, and provide pricing. For example, a custom 36" dome with cable mount was quoted at $510 with a 3–4 week lead time, while a 48" globe required a minimum of 6 units at ~$8,000 each due to tooling costs.

Low-quantity orders (e.g., 1–2 units) may not be cost-effective if retooling is required. We always confirm timelines and costs before proceeding. Rush options may be available—contact us with your target delivery date for evaluation.
