Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / Domestic LED lighting
French term or phrase: au détail
I'm having trouble understanding the term in this context. It occurs many times in the catalogue. "Retail" doesn't seem right. "individually" feels closer.

Le Linelight conçu sur-mesure est livré monté et prêt à encastrer. Vous pouvez aussi opter pour un kit comprenant les éléments **au détail**, à monter soi-même. (page 22)

Vos nez-de-marche peuvent être commandés en kit sur-mesure ou **au détail**, le tout préparé et monté si vous le souhaitez. (page 27)
