The manufacturing process for lighting fixtures can vary depending on the type of fixture and the manufacturer’s production methods. However, here are some general steps that are typically involved in the manufacturing process:
Design: The manufacturer creates a design for the lighting fixture based on market research, customer feedback, and industry trends.
Material selection: The manufacturer selects the materials that will be used in the fixture based on the design and the desired functionality of the fixture.
Cutting and shaping: The materials are cut and shaped into the desired components of the fixture using various cutting and shaping tools.
Assembly: The components of the fixture are assembled together using screws, bolts, or other fasteners. Electrical components such as sockets, wires, and switches are also installed during this stage.
Finishing: The fixture is finished with paint, powder coating, or plating to give it the desired look and durability.
Quality control: The finished fixture undergoes a series of quality control tests to ensure that it meets industry standards for safety and performance.
Packaging and shipping: The fixture is packaged and shipped to retailers or customers.
Overall, the manufacturing process for lighting fixtures can be complex and involve multiple stages of production.
Quality control is an essential part of the manufacturing process for lighting fixtures to ensure that they meet industry standards for safety and performance. Here are some common quality control measures that our factory implements:
Raw material inspection: The factory inspects the materials that will be used in the production of the fixture to ensure that they meet the necessary quality standards.
In-process inspection: During the production process, the factory may conduct inspections to ensure that the components are assembled correctly and that the electrical components are installed properly.
Testing: Finished fixtures may undergo various tests such as electrical testing, thermal testing, and photometric testing to ensure that they meet industry standards for safety and performance.
Certification: Many lighting fixtures must be certified by third-party organizations such as CE or ROHS to ensure that they meet safety and performance standards.
Customer feedback: The factory will collect feedback from customers to identify any issues with the product and make necessary improvements.
By implementing these quality control measures, lighting factories can ensure that their products meet industry standards and provide customers with safe and reliable lighting fixtures.
We S&H Lighting offer customization options （OEM）for their lighting fixtures to meet the specific needs and preferences of their customers. The level of customization available can vary depending on the factory and the type of fixture, but here are some common customization options that may be available:

Size: Some fixtures may be available in different sizes to accommodate different spaces.
Shade or cover: Customers may be able to choose from a variety of shades or covers for the fixture to achieve a specific lighting effect.
Design: Some lighting factories may offer custom design services to create a fixture that is unique to the customer’s specifications.
Material: According to the requirements of customers, create lighting products that satisfy them.
It’s important to note that customization options may come with additional costs and lead times, as the factory will need to create a unique product to meet the customer’s specific needs.
The production capacity and lead time of a lighting factory can vary depending on a variety of factors such as the type of fixture, the complexity of the design, and the size of the factory. However, here are some general factors that can affect production capacity and lead time:
Factory size: Larger factories may have a higher production capacity than smaller factories due to their ability to house more equipment and workers.
Production methods: The production methods used by the factory can also affect production capacity and lead time. For example, factories that use automated production methods may be able to produce fixtures more quickly than factories that rely on manual labor.
Customization: If the factory offers customization options, the production capacity and lead time may be affected by the complexity of the customization and the number of custom orders in the queue.
Generally, our production cycle is within 25 days.
