Custom Lighting

Custom lightings are lamps that are “tailor-made” for a particular location. According to the production type, lamps can be divided into standard lamps and non-standard lamps(Custom lamps). Customized lamps are mostly used in hotels, villas, offices, etc. Because it is not easy to find suitable sizes and styles in standard lamps, customized production is required.

Customized lamps are not only suitable for large lamps, but also for general dining chandeliers, table lamps, floor lamps, wall lamps, etc. For lamps in the same space, the same design style can be used to improve the consistency of space design and make it more beautiful.

For the surface treatment of table lamps, floor lamps, and wall lamps, more attention should be paid during production, because the welding position and the gloss and texture of the surface treatment can be seen at close range.

Custom lightings have higher requirements on manufacturers, because the styles, sizes, materials and structures of lamps in each order are different. Choose a manufacturer with rich production experience, and there will be fewer after-sales problems in the later period. Avoid all kinds of problems during the installation of light fixtures and lost money, time and reputation. We are a professional custom lighting manufacturer in China, feel free to contact us!

Hospitality Lighting

The decorative effect of hospitality lighting is usually achieved through two aspects, one is the matching of the shape of the lighting product itself and the environment, and the other is to illuminate the lighting itself and the surrounding space environment through the light of the light source.

Stair Light

There is a particularly large space in the stairwell, and installing chandeliers in the stairwell can make the space more elegant. In addition, stair chandeliers are usually installed on the top floor ceiling of the building, bearing more load, and there are more styles of chandeliers to choose from

Pendant Light

A pendant light is any ceiling-mounted light fixture that hangs from the ceiling, resting on a rod or chain, or sometimes three chains, in a variety of styles.

Application of the custom lighting

Lamps not only play a role in lighting a high-end place, but also enhance the atmosphere and enhance the sense of space design. Therefore, in many public places, custom lamps and lanterns are widely used.
A, Hotel projects
The lighting design of the hotel can set an elegant style for the hotel. For different types of hotels, different lighting designs can be used. For example, hotels are usually divided into business hotels and tourist resorts. Different styles and lighting effects are required.
The color temperature, illuminance, direct lighting and indirect lighting, color tone, luminous flux utilization rate, and color rendering index of customized hotel lamps should be adjusted appropriately according to the style of the hotel.
In terms of the structure of the lamps, the structure of the lamps should also be adjusted according to the size of the hotel elevator or the size of the largest entrance, so as to avoid the lamps being too large to be disassembled and unable to enter the hotel.
The lobby of the hotel and the banquet hall of the hotel generally use lamps with different styles, but the styles echo each other. Considering the light distribution, when the ceiling exceeds 6 meters, a point light source is used on the ceiling, and a narrow beam illuminator is used to provide continuous and uniform brightness. If it does not exceed 6 meters, a belt-mounted light-emitting ceiling can be used. It is also possible to design flood lights with different angles in the front hall area, and design side lights at both ends of the horizontal axis to increase the three-dimensional effect.

The main materials of custom lighting

Among the materials used in the daily use of lamps, there are various materials to choose from. Each material has its inherent characteristics and process characteristics. At the same time, the selected materials and processing
Different methods have different costs. We classify and do the following material selection and cost analysis:Commonly used iron materials: iron blanks are divided into spray paint materials, electroplating materials, galvanized sheets, etc. The processing technology of iron materials includes spinning, stamping, corrosion, wire cutting, bending, casting, etc.
Spinning: good economy, low-cost spare parts and small-quantity production; poor machining accuracy, spinning watermark defects on the surface, and low product grade.
Stamping: easy for mass production; high product precision; smooth surface, polishing and electroplating can ensure good quality. High mold cost, small quantity is inconvenient for production.

The cost of custom lighting

The cost of custom lighting is closely related to the following aspects: material, surface treatment, size, order quantity, delivery time, lighting appearance and other factors.
Referring to the above material section, the cost of different materials is different. Among them, iron and aluminum are relatively cheap and are also the most commonly used, followed by stainless steel, which is not very different from the price of iron. Other materials such as copper, 24K gold, etc., will be more expensive. But gloss and texture are noble.
For the surface treatment of metal, aluminum can only be anodized, not electroplated. Among them, the cost of electroplating and vacuum plating is relatively high, but their anti-oxidation effect is the best, and there is no problem in maintaining 2-3 years of rust under normal temperature and humidity conditions.
In terms of non-metallic surface treatment, such as glass spray paint, the cheapest, but the maintenance time is short, especially when used at the seaside, high temperature, high humidity and salinity, glass spray paint generally only lasts for half a year. Different solutions need to be designed according to different usage scenarios. The cost will also increase accordingly.
The diameter of our common chandeliers Dia 50CM and Dia 60CM are not about 10% different in diameter, but doubled. So accurate lamp size can allow manufacturers to quote more accurately.
Costs also multiply when the size exceeds the material limit size or the size of the machine tool.
Therefore, a regular sized luminaire would be the most cost-effective solution.
The larger the single order quantity, the lower the production cost. Because raw materials are produced in batches and workers are processed in batches, especially some lampshades and other accessories need to be made new molds, and the large number of orders can share the mold cost. If the appearance requirements can be slightly reduced, using existing molds is also an effective way to reduce the cost of customized lamps.
It is best to reserve 30 to 60 days for the delivery time. If the project delivery time is very urgent, the manufacturer will need to work overtime frequently and postpone the delivery of other goods in order to complete the goods in a particularly short time. The increased production costs are naturally reflected in the price of lamps.

The impact of COVID-19 on the lighting industry

Since the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, the supply chain of lamps has been hit hard. Mainly reflected in rising raw material prices, shortage of light source chips, intermittent land logistics being blocked, shipping prices rising exponentially, shortage of shipping positions, and delays in customs clearance caused by the shortage of loading, unloading and handling labor at the destination port. This has a great impact on custom lighting projects. In particular, the delivery time is difficult to predict, and even if the production end is delivered on time, there are often delays of one to two months in the international shipping and customs clearance process. Therefore, customers should try to arrange the order production as early as possible, so as not to delay the completion date.

How to check out if your custom lighting manufacturer reliable or not?

The quality of custom lamps consists of two important sections, one is product quality and the other is installation quality. In addition to providing customers with high-quality products, good manufacturers also provide customers with peace of mind and service.
There are several key points to judge whether a manufacturer can make good quality:
Having a lot of production experience means having a lot of problem solving experience, and less chance of making mistakes when producing your lamps. Another thing that also represents them is the strong manufacturers who have survived the elimination of the market for many years.
Manufacturers have more production machinery, which means that they can master the quality of lamps and lanterns to a greater extent. Because no machinery is outsourced, it will be more difficult to control the quality of finished accessories. Quality inspection and rework will lag behind, and the cost will be high, resulting in lamps and lanterns. The finished product has many defects. In particular, there is a need for a factory’s own hardware department.
Skilled workers can ensure that the production rate of defective products is reduced and the delivery time is shortened. Otherwise, if temporary workers are often recruited for production, the recruitment time is sometimes long and sometimes short, and the workers’ manual skills cannot be effectively guaranteed.
Some manufacturers will give very low quotations at the beginning of the quotation, but after the order is confirmed, various production processes need to increase the price, either because the price of raw materials is increased, or the price does not include packaging costs and other unprofessional reasons. There are even manufacturers who have not passed the evaluation of the size limit and structure of the lamp material during the quotation process, and will feedback to the customer during the production process that the order size cannot be produced, and the material and size must be changed.
There will be many unexpected situations during the installation of lamps. If the supplier can provide after-sale services for no reason, it is the greatest protection to ensure the normal completion of the project.
ANC lighting specializes in the production of custom lamps for nearly 20 years, ensuring that the production process does not increase prices. Can provide you with worry-free after-sales. If necessary, welcome to inquire.
