making new connections in the lighting market

If the architect decides the project is so large and complex that they need assistance, Ayuppie also provides a list of local lighting designers and resellers who offer a design service and whose work seems a good match with their project.

The architect, as a bonus, also receives five per cent of the value of the final order (Ayuppie is clear that that fee isn’t simply built into the prices on the site but comes from a commission charged to manufacturers). Alternatively, an architect can waive that commission and enlist the services of a specialist lighting designer on their next project for free.
