When starting an electrical products store, it is very important to conduct a preliminary analysis that allows you to provide yourself with the products with the best results, that is, you can profit from them, in order to start your business in the best way. It is necessary to know the operation of electrical products offered for sale and also to always be able to provide customers with additional information; This will allow them to trust you and what you offer.

Electrical products that must be present in your inventory

Among the electrical materials that you must have are:

• Incandescent and halogen lamps and lamps

The incandescent lamp is a major electrical product due to its large market turnover and low price. However, it has such a low light that it only provides 1000 hours of useful life, not counting the large amounts of energy it consumes and the heat it generates into the environment, so it is not considered an environmental product.

On the other hand, halogens are considered an evolution of ordinary incandescent lamps, and the difference between them is that they provide the customer with twice the useful life of traditional lamps (2000 and 4000 hours), as the light beam is more incandescent and bright.

• led lamps

LED technology has been categorized as the new generation of energy and the future in lighting in the home and anywhere. Not only because of its long life (between 60,000 and 100,000 hours), but also because it is a bright light with low power consumption and does not emit heat.

• brakes

This electrical product serves to maintain a steady current flow for fluorescent lamps and although there are various types – among the most traditional electromagnetic – electronic types cannot be missing from their inventory. These are used in fluorescent lamps and high intensity discharge lamps, which are highly commercialized in the market.

• double cable

Double cable consists of two parallel lines joined by electrical wiring, usually for residential installations or in places where the voltage is less than 300 volts (watts). Usually made of copper and aluminium, paired cables are electrical connectors that can’t be missing in your electrical supply store.

• wires

It is the most popular commercial wire and has two types: copper and aluminum. Both are commonly used for residential circuits leading to an electrical outlet or switch.

• electrical panels

This device serves to protect each of the circuits in which the electrical installation is divided.

• breakers

These electrical products are specifically designed to protect low-voltage networks and appliances from overload or short circuit.

• Switches and ports

There are many types of switches on the market. From the simple switch, which turns the power on and off, to the latest computer controlled switches.

As for outlets, there are some outlets for the kitchen and bathroom. Being wet areas, they require some kind of special blocking device that helps reduce electrical leakage. Likewise, there are sockets with child protection which, through a device, prevent objects from getting into the slots.

• conductive tubes

They serve to connect and protect electrical cables. They are made of PVC with different diameters that allow for greater resistance to impacts. Its material allows the tube to resist acids and other corrosive agents, effectively protecting all wires for years.

• valves

They are devices that prevent the passage of electric current when it reaches a very high level, thus avoiding accidents in electrical appliances.

• insulating tape 

Mainly used for insulating electrical wires and cable joints. The tape is made of thin PVC, generally 14mm wide.

• Electrical installations

Extension cords are pieces of flexible electrical cable with a plug at one end and one or more outlets at the other, which serve to lengthen the electrical connection.
