Custom Lighting: From Brief to Production

To review a project, please provide as much information as is available, such as drawings, reference images, dimensions, quantities, materials, finishes, lighting requirements, voltage, dimming requirements, installation conditions and the required project programme. Initial information does not need to be complete, but clearer specifications allow the design and quotation to be developed more accurately.

Yes. We can develop custom lighting from architectural drawings, design sketches, specifications, reference images or an existing design concept. Before production, the design is reviewed for materials and manufacturing feasibility. Custom lighting shop drawings help coordinate dimensions, construction, fixing points, electrical details and installation interfaces for review and approval. The drawing revision and any open items should be clear before manufacture begins. What to check when reviewing bespoke lighting shop drawings.

Yes. Dimensions, proportions, suspension lengths, mounting details and internal construction can be developed around the requirements of the project. Any changes are reviewed in relation to appearance, structural stability, component space, installation access and manufacturing feasibility.

Samples, material references, finish samples or prototypes can be prepared depending on the project requirements. Bespoke lighting sample approval should record which dimensions, materials, finishes, illuminated appearance, controls and installation details are approved, according to the sample scope, and identify any remaining corrections. Proportions, light output, construction and assembly details may also be reviewed. The scope, cost and programme for sampling are confirmed before sample development begins. How to approve a bespoke lighting sample before bulk production.

Lead times vary according to the design complexity, quantity, materials, finishing process, component availability and approval requirements. Samples typically require 20–30 days, while bulk production generally requires 40–60 days.

We work with materials including brass, stainless steel, aluminium, steel, glass, resin, timber, alabaster, marble, other natural stones and fabric. Finishes can be developed around project references, but the final appearance depends on the base material, surface preparation, brushing direction, colour and sheen level.

Yes. Lighting specifications can be coordinated around the project requirements, including light source, wattage, colour temperature, CRI, voltage, driver location and dimming protocol. Options may include phase dimming, 0–10V, 1–10V or DALI, subject to the selected light source, driver compatibility and available installation space.

Yes. Large bespoke chandeliers and feature installations require additional coordination around overall dimensions, weight, fixing points, suspension systems, access, assembly and maintenance. Where appropriate, fittings can be divided into manageable sections to support production, packing, transportation and on-site installation.

Project details may be coordinated through quotations, specifications, shop drawings, material references, finish samples and prototypes, depending on the scope of the project. Production should proceed only after the relevant dimensions, materials, finishes, electrical requirements and construction details have been reviewed and approved.

Before packing and dispatch, bespoke lighting quality control should follow approved drawings, samples, specifications and the requirements of the individual fitting. Depending on the product and project, checks may cover dimensions, finishes, assembly, appearance, operation, electrical components, illuminated performance, accessory quantities, labelling and packing. Final inspection does not replace required product testing or certification, structural review or site commissioning. Packaging is developed according to the size, weight, fragility and construction of each fitting. Larger or more complex products may be packed in labelled sections to support transportation and site assembly. Delivery arrangements and installation information are coordinated according to the project and destination. Quality checks before bespoke lighting is shipped.
