Do Your Lights Have UL Certification?

Dear friend,

Thank you for asking this before you specify the lights. It's exactly the right question for a project like yours, and I want to give you a completely honest, complete answer, so there are no surprises at inspection.

Let me be clear and precise, because this matters. Our chandeliers do not currently come with full-fixture UL Listing. Some internal components, like the wiring and the driver, are UL Recognized, but I want to be honest with you about what that means: a recognized component is not the same as the complete fixture being Listed. For a project like yours, what your electrician and inspector need is the complete fixture, Listed. So I won't blur that line. As they stand, our lights are not yet Listed.

Your electrician is right, and he's protecting you. For a commercial hotel project, the inspector will almost always require the complete fixture to be UL or ETL Listed. Without it, it can't be installed or pass inspection. That's not red tape. It's safety, and it's the law.

But here is what we can do, and what we do regularly for projects like yours.

We can arrange for an official certification body to test and certify the fixture at our factory. Once it's done, your chandelier carries a proper Listed certification, the real one, verifiable in the official online database that any inspector can check. We coordinate the whole process with the certification body, and see it through until your light is certified and ready for your project.

One thing I'll say plainly, up front: the certification cost is paid by you, the customer. It's separate from the chandelier itself. We'll confirm the exact timeline and cost with you before anything moves forward, so you know precisely what you're committing to, and you can plan your project schedule around it.

One more thing worth knowing: UL and ETL are legally equivalent in the US. Both are recognized testing bodies, and inspectors accept either. So if your inspector accepts ETL, that path is often faster. Just tell us what your project requires, and we'll help you arrange the most suitable route.

You're trusting us with statement pieces for a real project, with a real schedule and real people relying on you. The least we can do is tell you the whole truth, before you specify a single light, and then help you get it properly certified, the right way.

So, to answer you simply: no, the certification isn't built in, but yes, we can arrange for your chandeliers to be properly UL or ETL Listed at the factory, with the cost on your side and everything, timeline and price, explained before you commit.

Ask us anything else you need, voltage, installation, lead times, whatever matters for your project. We'd always rather you knew everything first.

Yours,
Marie
