From written requirement to approved sample
Custom and OEM Lighting Sourcing in China
ConnexSourcing coordinates buyer requirements with suitable lighting suppliers. Start with a clear reference, specification and approval process before bulk production.
Custom sourcing creates more approval points
Changing dimensions, material, finish, light source, driver, controls, branding or packaging can affect feasibility, price, sample terms and production. A reference photo alone is not a complete specification.
Product reference
Share a drawing, image, existing sample or model reference and state which features must be retained or changed.
Physical specification
Define dimensions, materials, finish, components, mounting method and visible quality expectations.
Electrical configuration
State voltage, light source, driver, controls and other known requirements for the destination and application.
Commercial assumptions
Provide estimated quantity, target timing and any known development, tooling or sample constraints that suppliers must answer.
Labels and packaging
Describe brand labels, manuals, accessories, product protection, carton marks and other packing requirements.
Approval responsibility
Identify who approves drawings, samples, finishes, changes and the production baseline on the buyer’s side.
A traceable custom-lighting workflow
Compare supplier feasibility
Send the same drawing or specification revision and record constraints, assumptions, sample terms and open technical questions.
Coordinate development
Keep drawings, finish references, component information and supplier responses connected to the correct revision.
Approve the sample baseline
Where a physical sample is required, document approved features, accepted differences and unresolved points before bulk production.
Control changes
Record who requested and approved each change so the factory is not working from an obsolete photo, drawing or message.
Follow production
Keep key product questions, approvals and production checkpoints visible while the supplier prepares the order.
Inspect against the approval
Build the quality-inspection scope around the agreed sample, drawing and written requirements.
Choose and review the right supplier for the product
A supplier that fits one standard fixture may not fit a custom material, finish, scale or quantity. Relevant production observations can be reviewed through a lighting factory audit when the order risk justifies it.
Required destination documentation or testing should be defined for the exact product and market. It is not safe to assume that one certificate covers every variant.
Start with a written custom lighting brief
Share your reference or drawing, dimensions, materials, finish, quantity, destination and target timing.
