What Designers Really Need from E-Commerce Lighting Platforms (And Why Most Don't Deliver)

JAIPUR, India - May 6, 2025 - PRLog -- Jaipur — The decorative lighting e-commerce space is booming, yet many platforms fall short. Lumeil helps design professionals bring their lighting concepts to life without compromise. As interior designers and architects increasingly turn to digital platforms for sourcing decor, a persistent question remains: Why do most e-commerce lighting platforms still fall short of what professionals truly need?

In this interview, we speak with Naman Jain, co-founder of Lumeil, about the core challenges faced by designers and how Lumeil is innovating the e-commerce lighting experience.

Q: What do you see as the biggest frustration designers face with current lighting platforms?

Naman Jain: The most common complaint we hear is that designers feel like they're compromising. Most platforms are built for the everyday consumer—not for professionals managing timelines, budgets, and client expectations. Designers aren't just shopping—they're sourcing with purpose and need a platform that respects both their timelines and creative vision.

Q: Can you give us specific examples of where traditional platforms fall short?

Naman Jain: First is curation—many platforms offer quantity over quality, with little thought to current design trends or unique pieces. Then there's delivery—unpredictable timelines can derail entire project schedules. And finally, support—once an order is placed, designers are often left in the dark, especially if something goes wrong during installation.

Q: How is Lumeil different?

Naman Jain: Lumeil is built from the ground up with designers in mind. Every product on our platform is handpicked—we don't flood the catalog with generic items. We also manage logistics with project timelines in mind, ensuring realistic delivery commitments. And our support doesn't end at checkout—our team is available throughout the project lifecycle to help with changes, replacements, and coordination.

Q: What's Lumeil's vision moving forward?

Naman Jain: Our goal is to be more than a platform—we want to be a partner in the creative process. Lighting is one of the most expressive elements in interior design, and we're here to make sure designers never have to settle—on style, service, or timelines.
