Back by Popular Demand
The original Dare to Compare program was a staple of B-K Lighting. The popular quick ship sample program has helped designers and specifiers around the globe get access to B-K fixtures fast and hassle free, ensuring they have the tools they need to properly test, validate and mock-up their lighting needs with confidence before those pesky and aggressive project deadlines struck. While the original Dare to Compare program was slowly retired, we’re proud to say, Dare 2 Compare is BACK!
CHOOSE WITH CONFIDENCE
The New Dare 2 Compare
The new program retains much of the original’s intent: Get B-K fixtures in the hands of those that need them fast and hassle free.
How fast? We’re glad you asked… D2C comes with 2-day turn-around and 2-day delivery. That means from the time of D2C order receipt, the sample will be in your hands within one business week, or even possibly sooner!
Our Dare 2 Compare program is designed to make your job easier and your decisions clearer. While specification sheets, photos, and various online resources make research and the comparison of fixtures more convenient, there are better ways to compare what truly matters: how the fixture performs.
No Hassle Order
Prebuilt Samples | 2-Day Turn-Around | 2-Day Delivery
No Hassle Demo

No Hassle Return
Pre-approved return authorization | Pre-paid UPS call tag
How it Works
The new Dare 2 Compare program includes 12 of our most popular products, prebuilt, stocked and ready for shipment. While B-K has always been a built-to-order manufacturer, stocking and inventorying these select products allows us to meet the tight delivery timelines you need to meet your project deadlines.
Each Dare 2 Compare sample kit includes the fixture, cord, plug, and a few of their most popular accessories: multiple caps, honeycomb baffles, soft focus lenses, etc. D2C samples are yours to use as you need for 90 days from shipment. The kit also includes everything you need to easily ship it back to the factory once you’re done with it.
D2C orders must be placed by an authorized B-K Lighting Manufacturer Sales Representative. You can locate one HERE!
