ODM Development

Develop a lighting product from application brief to production-ready specification.

For a new fixture, portable light, or architectural lighting range, work moves from optical intent and industrial design through samples, validation, and production planning.

New lighting development

Move from a lighting need to an approved product specification.

A disciplined ODM program defines application, photometric target, materials, electronics, samples, and production controls before manufacturing handoff.

Application brief

Define performance before form.

Clarify environment, mounting, light distribution, power source, compliance needs, and target customer before development begins.

Sample validation

Review light effect and installation fit early.

Use samples to review optics, thermal design, housing, wiring, accessories, and installation sequence.

Development phases

Five stages of a practical lighting ODM program.

Each stage produces a clearer technical decision, reducing changes between the first concept and a repeatable production order.

Application and optical brief
Application and optical brief

Define environment, target light effect, beam, CCT, CRI, output, and installation constraints.

Industrial and thermal design
Industrial and thermal design

Develop housing, lens, heat management, mounting, materials, and finish around product requirements.

Electrical design
Electrical design

Align LED modules, drivers, controls, input power, connectors, and protection requirements.

Prototype and validation
Prototype and validation

Review samples for light effect, assembly, installation, reliability, and required adjustments.

Production specification
Production specification

Lock bill of materials, quality checkpoints, packaging, and delivery requirements for repeat orders.

Ready for development?

Start with the application brief, then build the right lighting product around it.

Share drawings, reference products, target performance, quantity outlook, and market needs. We will identify an appropriate development path.
