One of the biggest PITA's is when a customer asks you to recommend or find lighting fixtures. This is both resi and commercial, inside and outdoors.
Sometimes they will see something they like in another house or building and ask me who makes it and where it's available and I haven't a clue! I just had a customer ask me to find "better" 4 tube 48" wraparounds than are normally available from the supply house. (He didn't like the quality of the plastic diffuser.)
I know that architects and lighting designers come up with this stuff all the time. Is there a directory or something like Sweets for lighting manufacturers? I know I can just hand the customer a Lightolier or Progress catalog but many times that is too limited.
