Custom LED Lighting OEM/ODM Development from Brief to Production

ANOVA supports custom lighting projects through a documented workflow: clarify the application, choose an existing platform or new development route, review samples, define validation and coordinate production.

Who this page is for

Choose the development depth that matches your product plan

A clear cooperation model prevents a private-label request from being managed like a new invention—or a true engineering project from being priced like a catalog item.

Lighting Brands

Develop a differentiated range around defined market, design and performance requirements.

Importers & Distributors

Adapt proven platforms through configuration, branding, packaging and market documentation.

Project Suppliers

Resolve installation, optical or control requirements that standard products do not cover.

Design & Engineering Teams

Translate a concept, drawing or reference sample into a reviewable production brief.

Project requirements

A useful brief defines the problem before the product

Early information does not need to be perfect, but it should make the application, ownership and technical risks visible.

  • Target customer, application and destination market
  • Existing platform adaptation or genuinely new product direction
  • Reference drawings, samples, installation constraints and appearance goals
  • Target light effect, CCT, CRI, output, controls and environmental requirements
  • Branding, packaging, labeling and documentation expectations
  • Expected quantity, sample deadline and launch or project schedule

Product and solution selection

Select ODM, OEM or private label deliberately

Each route changes the amount of engineering, buyer input, validation and commercial preparation required.

Platform adaptation

ODM

Start from an ANOVA platform and adjust configuration, optics, finishes, controls or installation details.

  • Efficient starting point
  • Model-specific customization
  • Affected tests reviewed
Defined buyer brief

OEM

Develop against agreed drawings, samples and performance requirements supplied or approved by the buyer.

  • Clear design ownership
  • Structured sample approval
  • Production criteria documented
Speed and branding

Private Label

Use a standard product with agreed labels, packaging and documentation when deep product changes are unnecessary.

  • Lower development depth
  • Brand presentation review
  • Market documentation confirmed
Existing technical base

Modular Development

Combine documented LED engines, frames, optics and drivers into a differentiated product family.

  • MR11 to AR111 platforms
  • Multiple housing categories
  • Driver and control options

OEM / ODM scope

Define what may change—and what must remain controlled

Customization scope is recorded before samples so design choices, affected validation and commercial consequences remain visible.

Verified selection range

Use documented platform limits as the engineering starting point

Custom development may extend or change the starting product, but the current repository supports these reference ranges for early feasibility discussions.

Selection pointRepository-supported rangeProcurement note
Platform baseMR11, MR16, AR70 and AR111 modules with fixed, adjustable, trimless and other housing familiesThe platform route is evaluated before proposing new mechanics.
Documented power examples4–36 W across the current cataloged module examplesNot every format covers the entire range.
Beam architecture15° / 24° / 36° / 60° fixed and selected 20°–60° zoomable MR16Custom optics require separate feasibility and validation.
Color qualityCRI 90 and selected CRI 97 examplesSpectrum, output and thermal conditions must be reviewed together.
CCT architectureSingle-CCT examples, 3000/4000/5000 K Tri-CCT and selected 2700–6500 K tunable whiteAvailable architecture depends on module and driver.
Control routesNon-dim, Triac/phase-cut, 0–10 V, DALI and CasambiControl integration is confirmed against the target market and wiring.
Housing categoriesFixed, adjustable/gyro, low-glare, trimless, wall washer and selected IP65Installation and rating scope are reviewed by exact assembly.

Engineering and quality control

Build validation into the development plan

The repository documents production, assembly, aging, integrating-sphere and environmental test environments. The required checks are selected for the actual product and change scope.

  • Requirement and feasibility review before quotation is finalized
  • Drawing, sample and bill-of-material alignment
  • Optical, electrical, thermal and mechanical checks as applicable
  • Control, wiring and installation review
  • Pilot or pre-production confirmation when risk justifies it
  • Appearance, labeling, accessories, packaging and shipment inspection
Samples, MOQ and timing

Commercial terms follow feasibility and sample definition

A custom project cannot be assigned a responsible universal MOQ or lead time before the development depth and approved configuration are known.

Samples & Prototypes

The first sample may confirm appearance, fit, optics or electrical function. Approval criteria should state what that sample is intended to prove.

MOQ

MOQ is quoted after standard components, custom parts, finish, packaging and expected production method are identified.

Lead Time & Milestones

Feasibility, sample iterations, validation, pilot production and final production are scheduled as separate milestones where needed.

Application planning

Custom work can begin with a product gap or a project constraint

The development route should respond to a defined commercial or technical need, not customization for its own sake.

Brand Range Development

Create coordinated downlight or module families for a defined market position and sales channel.

Market Adaptation

Review controls, wiring, packaging, labels and documentation for the intended destination.

Project-Specific Product

Resolve ceiling, optical, environmental or maintenance conditions not covered by the standard shortlist.

Value Engineering

Review an existing concept for platform reuse, component rationalization and production practicality.

Procurement FAQ

Questions buyers ask before requesting a quotation

What is the difference between ANOVA OEM and ODM?

ODM adapts an existing ANOVA platform, while OEM normally begins with a more defined buyer requirement, drawing or approved reference. Private label keeps the standard product substantially unchanged.

Can we begin with a reference product?

Yes. Provide legally usable drawings, samples or reference information and identify which aspects must change. ANOVA will assess whether an existing platform or new work is appropriate.

When will we receive an MOQ and lead time?

After the customization depth, parts, sample route, validation, packaging and expected quantity are understood. They should not be assumed from a different project.

Which tests are included?

The validation plan depends on product type, market and what has changed. Optical, electrical, thermal, mechanical, aging and environmental checks may be included where relevant.

Can ANOVA support branding and packaging only?

Yes, a private-label route can be reviewed when an existing product meets the functional requirement and the main changes concern labels, packaging or documents.

Project review
