Does this tool calculate a final pixel LED BOM?

No. It structures the known requirements and identifies likely scope items. Exact controller, power-supply, cable, connector, protection, mounting, and accessory quantities require an engineering review.

Can I use the RFQ template when project information is incomplete?

Yes. Missing values are shown as To be confirmed, which makes supplier assumptions and follow-up questions visible instead of hiding them.

Project scoping

Turn early project notes into a consistent supplier brief, expose missing engineering inputs, and compare quotations against the same preliminary scope.

Project inputs

Build a supplier-ready project brief

Complete what you know. Empty fields remain visible as “To be confirmed” so suppliers can identify assumptions instead of silently filling the gaps.

01Project

Identify the application, site, environment, and programme.

Project name or referenceExample: Hotel atrium ceilingApplication and visual intentDescribe the installation and the effect it needs to create.Installation country or regionHelps identify voltage, logistics, and submittal requirements.Installation environmentChoose the closest condition.Target sample or delivery dateUse a date or programme milestone.

02Light output and form

Describe the intended fixture family, scale, pixel layout, and mounting limits.

Preferred product or form factorStrip, point light, bar, module, matrix, or undecided.Total length or fixture quantityRepeat the project quantity exactly as currently known.Pixel count, pitch, or densityInclude spacing and layout if available.Colour modeChoose the expected pixel colour mode.Mounting and space constraintsProfiles, curves, fixing points, access, weight, or appearance limits.

03Electrical

Capture known voltage, load, distribution distance, and injection constraints.

Supply voltage preferenceExample: 12 V DC, 24 V DC, or supplier recommendation.Estimated connected loadState watts, amps, or W/m only when known.Power distribution distanceInclude PSU-to-load and longest injection distances when known.Power-injection constraintsAccess, cable routes, enclosure locations, or limits on visible wiring.

04Control

Record the pixel protocol, network transport, software, and playback needs.

Pixel IC or fixture protocolExample: UCS2904, WS2815, DMX, SPI, or to be confirmed.Network or show-control requirementArt-Net, sACN, DMX, MADRIX, other, or supplier recommendation.Controller and software already selectedInclude model, firmware, software, and licence constraints if known.Playback requirementLive network, scheduled offline playback, triggers, redundancy, or 24/7 operation.

05Environment and compliance

Define exposure and the documents needed for approval.

Target IP ratingState the requested rating and whether field joints must match it.Temperature and exposureAmbient range, UV, salt, chemicals, vibration, or washdown.Certificates and submittalsCE, RoHS, UL, test reports, drawings, samples, or local requirements.

06Commercial scope

Make supplier comparison easier by asking for the same scope and terms.

Sample or mockup requirementSize, quantity, test purpose, and approval deadline.Requested spare quantity or percentageExample: 5% fixtures and critical control spares.Accessories expected in supplier scopeConnectors, cables, profiles, mounting, waterproofing, enclosures, tools.Delivery destination and termsCity, country, preferred Incoterm, and split-delivery needs.Questions for every supplierMOQ, sample lead time, production lead time, warranty, support, and quote validity.

Preliminary scope of supply

LED fixtures, strip, points, bars, or modules

To be confirmed

Repeat the stated project quantity; final product, pixel layout, cutting, and zoning require review.

Controllers, decoders, receivers, and network hardware

Engineering confirmation required

Depends on pixel IC, channel count, frame rate, output limits, topology, and redundancy.

Power supplies, protection, distribution, and enclosures

Engineering confirmation required

Depends on actual load, voltage drop, injection zones, derating, inrush, and local requirements.

Signal and power cables, connectors, and termination parts

Engineering confirmation required

Depends on the approved routing, zone schedule, cable lengths, connector system, and field-joint plan.

Mounting, profile, strain relief, sealing, and waterproofing accessories

Engineering confirmation required

Depends on substrate, access, field cuts, bend limits, environment, and selected fixture.

Project spares and critical replacement parts

To be confirmed

Confirm whether the stated spare allowance applies to fixtures, controls, power, and accessories separately.

Datasheets, certificates, drawings, address map, warranty, and delivery schedule

As requested; supplier to confirm

Supplier response should identify included documents, exclusions, validity, and submission timing.

Better supplier comparison

Separate stated requirements from engineering assumptions

A useful LED quotation should identify the fixture, controls, power distribution, cabling, mounting and sealing accessories, spares, documentation, warranty, and delivery basis. This builder keeps missing facts visible and prevents an early estimate from looking like a final engineered quantity.

Use the Pileds product and engineering tools to shortlist a product family and check the control concept. Final selections still require current datasheets and project-specific engineering review.
