Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

| Pallet (1938 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |

Frequently asked questions
Should Lux be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
Do you support long term supply agreements?

How quickly can a repeat order be produced?
For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
Can several models be mixed in one shipment?
Yes, mixing models and flavours within a carton or pallet is common and usually helps first time buyers test demand.
