Total Cost vs Sticker Price: Reading a Light Tower Quote

Litenza Sales TeamJul 20, 20265 min read

Two quotes with different bottom-line numbers aren't always comparable — what's included in the base price varies enough between suppliers that the cheaper-looking quote can end up costing more once you add what was left out.

What's Usually Included

A standard kit typically includes the light unit itself, a set number of battery packs, and a charger — confirm the exact count and model of battery packs included, since runtime scales directly with how many packs come standard.

What's Often Priced Separately

Comparing Quotes Fairly

List out exactly what's in each supplier's standard kit before comparing bottom-line numbers — a lower headline price with fewer included battery packs or no charger may cost more once you add what's actually needed to run the equipment as intended.

Factor In Service and Support

A quote that doesn't account for accessible after-sales service isn't fully comparable to one that does — see our buying checklist for why warranty and service coverage belong in a total-cost comparison, not just the equipment price.

Recommended Next Steps

Every Litenza product page lists exactly what's included in the standard kit under "Technical Specifications." Request a quote and we'll itemise exactly what's included so you can compare it fairly against other suppliers.

Additional battery packs beyond the standard kit, AC power accessories, extended warranty, and freight/delivery to the project site.

How should quotes from different suppliers be compared?

List out exactly what's included in each supplier's standard kit before comparing bottom-line prices — a lower headline number with less included can cost more once you add what's actually needed.
