Solar street-light enquiry
- Quantity
- 100 lights
- Rated power
- 40W
- Light output
- At least 4,000 lumens
- Backup requested
- Two nights
Still to clarify: delivery destination, nightly operating hours and mandatory project conditions.
Both offers need more information.
Option A states the requested output, but supporting details are missing. Option B does not provide enough performance information to assess fit.
On smaller screens, scroll the comparison sideways to see both options.
| Review area | Example option A | Example option B |
|---|---|---|
| Model / output | Demo-A: 40W / 4,000 lumens stated | Demo-B: 60W; lumens missing |
| Evidence status | Supplier-stated in this fictional example; no independent check | Supplier-stated in this fictional example; no independent check |
| Technical fit | Potential fit on stated output figures only | Insufficient information to assess light output |
| Battery / backup | Two nights claimed; battery details and operating profile missing | Battery capacity and backup duration missing |
| Price basis | EXW assumed for illustration; no price supplied | Delivered basis assumed; no price or destination supplied |
| MOQ / lead time | Not confirmed | Not confirmed |
| Warranty | Coverage, exclusions and claims route missing | No written terms supplied |
| Next action | Request datasheet, evidence and complete commercial terms | Request model-specific performance and commercial information |
Clarify the gaps before choosing.
Request model-specific datasheets, battery details, warranty terms and a quotation on the same delivery basis. Neither example option is approved for purchase.
Technical approval, supplier checks, sample testing and independent inspection remain separate activities.
