FAQ
Customer Support & Frequently Asked Questions
1.1. About Lumenwerx
1.2. How We Work
Do you have sales representatives or partners in my region or country?
Yes. Lumenwerx works with a network of independent sales representatives who support designers, engineers, contractors, and distributors in their local markets. For North America and many international locations, you can use our Agent Locator on the website to find the correct sales agency based on your project location.
If you are outside our current listed regions, through the Contact or Customer Support pages with your project details and location. We can advise whether we can supply products to your market directly or via an importing partner.
Do you sell directly to end users, or only through reps and distributors?
Lumenwerx primarily sells through authorized sales representatives and electrical distributors. This model ensures that projects receive local support for pricing, logistics, and coordination with other trades.
In practice:
- Designers, architects, and engineers typically work with their local Lumenwerx rep during design and specification.
- Contractors and owners usually purchase through distributors recommended by the rep or already engaged on the project.
In some special cases (for example, replacement parts or small quantities), our team may support direct transactions, but the standard path is via representatives and distributors.
Do you ship internationally, and how do you handle imports and logistics?
Yes, Lumenwerx products are used on projects in multiple regions outside North America. International projects are typically handled in one of two ways:
- Through a local distributor or partner who manages importation, duties, and local logistics.
- Via a direct export arrangement coordinated between Lumenwerx, the local design team, and an importer/freight forwarder.
If you are working on a project outside Canada or the United States, contact us with your project location, timeline, and approximate scope. We will confirm if there is an existing partner in your country or review options with your preferred importing partner.
Where can I download your spec sheet and product documentation?
Our website provides several ways to access product information:
- Spec sheets: Download digital spec sheet and brochures from the spec sheet section of the site.
- Product pages: Each product page includes links to spec sheets, installation instructions, and other technical documentation.
- IES files and Revit families: Many product pages include IES files, Revit collections, and CAD content. If a specific file is not listed, your local representative can request it from our technical team.
For large projects, our team can also help assemble documentation packages including spec sheets, IES files, and installation instructions for all specified fixtures.
Can you review my lighting plans or provide lighting layouts and foot-candle maps?
Yes. Lumenwerx can support lighting design and verification in several ways:
- Providing IES files and photometric data so your team or consultant can run their own calculations.
- Assisting with layout reviews for product suitability and high-level checks on light levels, uniformity, and glare.
- On select projects, preparing lighting layouts or foot-candle maps using Lumenwerx luminaires and your project geometry in collaboration with your local representative.
The scope of design support varies by region and project size. Share your project plans and requirements with your representative.

4.1. Technical Help and Documentation
4.2. Warranty and Troubleshooting
What is your product warranty and what does it cover?
Lumenwerx luminaires are covered by a limited warranty that applies to defects in materials and workmanship for a defined period from the date of shipment, subject to the conditions stated in our terms and conditions of sale.
The warranty typically covers:
- LED arrays and light engines
- Fixture housings and components
- Factory-installed drivers and controls
Third-party components (such as LED drivers from other manufacturers) are covered under their respective manufacturers’ warranties. All warranty work must be pre-approved before any repair or replacement is performed.
For full warranty details, refer to our terms and conditions or contact your representative.
How do I file a warranty claim for a failed driver or LED module, and what information do you need?
To open a warranty claim:
- Gather the following information:
- Fixture spec sheet number
- Serial number (from the fixture label)
- Installation date
- Clear description of the failure or issue
- Photos of the fixture, label, and any visible damage or symptoms

Pre-approval is required before any warranty work is performed. Providing complete information upfront speeds up the process.
How should I troubleshoot flickering, blinking, or dimming issues with my fixtures?
Common causes of flickering, blinking, or poor dimming performance include:
- Incompatible dimmers or controls: Verify that your dimmer or control is compatible with the fixture’s driver type (0-10V, DALI, phase-cut, etc.).
- Incorrect wiring: Check that control conductors (e.g., 0-10V signal wires) are wired correctly per the installation instructions.
- Voltage drop: Long wire runs or undersized wire can cause voltage drop, especially on low-voltage or 0-10V control circuits.
Troubleshooting steps:
- Verify dimmer/control compatibility with the fixture driver.
- Check all wiring against the installation instructions.
- Test with a known-compatible control or bypass the control to isolate the issue.
- Measure voltage at the fixture to rule out supply issues.
If problems persist after checking these items, contact technical support with the fixture model number, control model number, and a description of the symptoms.
4.3. Replacement Parts and Upgrades
How can I order replacement lenses, trims, louvers, mud rings, and other small components?
Many lenses, louvers, trims, mud rings, and mounting components can be ordered as replacement parts. To order:
- Identify the part you need by referring to the fixture label, installation instructions, or taking photos of the existing component.
- Contact your local representative or Customer Support with photos of the fixture, its label, and the specific part required.
