Manufacturing Services
Three ways to work with us, depending on where your product starts.
OEM Manufacturing
Production according to your approved designs, specifications, component requirements and branding.
When it fits
You already have the design.
ODM Development & Manufacturing
Original product development, engineering, prototypes, custom moulds and manufacturing based on an agreed brief.
When it fits
You have an idea or a brief, not yet a product.
Customisation & Private Label
Suitable existing products adapted through agreed changes to appearance, specifications, branding and packaging.
When it fits
A product close to what you need already exists.
Custom Moulds & Tooling
We design new products and develop the moulds to make them. Housings and components are designed with their tooling in mind, so they fit, assemble and repeat consistently in production.
Design
- New housing and component design.
- 3D models and engineering drawings.
- Material and manufacturing-method selection.
- Review of component fit and assembly.
Develop
- Custom mould design and tooling development.
- Trial parts and dimensional inspection.
Prove & prepare
- Mould adjustments and sample approval.
- Tooling preparation for repeat production.
The tooling approach for each part is confirmed during feasibility, together with you.

Component Manufacturing & Preparation
A fitting is only as good as its parts. Each part is produced or sourced, prepared and checked against the approved specification before it reaches assembly.
| Area | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Housings & Heat Sinks | Material selection, forming or machining, dimensional checks and preparation for assembly. |
| Mechanical Components | Trims, brackets, springs, adjustment mechanisms, mounting parts and fasteners. |
| Optical Components | Reflector, lens and diffuser selection or development, with fit, finish and handling checks. |
| Electrical Components | LED modules, circuit boards, drivers, cables, terminals and connectors matched to the approved specification. |
| Sealing Components | Gaskets, seals and cable-entry components where the product requires environmental protection. |
| Surface Finishing | Our powder coating facility, and other finishes such as anodising or plating where supported, with colour and appearance approved before production. |

Prepare
- Production planning against the approved order.
- Controlled drawings, specifications and component lists.
- Incoming material and component inspection.
- Preparation of parts and assembly stations.
Assemble
- Mechanical assembly.
- LED module and thermal-interface installation.
- Driver installation, wiring and connection checks.
- Reflector, lens and diffuser installation.
- Sealing where required.
Check
- In-process inspections and functional checks.
- Final cleaning, inspection and identification.
What You Can Customise
| Category | Options to discuss |
|---|---|
| Product Dimensions | Diameter, height, length, ceiling cut-out and installation clearance. |
| Appearance | Housing shape, trim design, colour, texture and finish. |
| Light Performance | Wattage, output, colour temperature, colour rendering, beam angle and light distribution. |
| Optics | Reflectors, lenses, diffusers, shielding and optical accessories. |
| Mounting & Adjustment | Installation method, brackets, clips, aiming and adjustment mechanisms. |
| Electrical Configuration | LED and driver selection, input requirements, cables and connectors. |
| Controls | Supported dimming, sensors and control-system compatibility. |
| Protection Requirements | Application-specific dust, moisture, impact or corrosion requirements, subject to validation. |
| Branding | Logos, product labels, model numbers and identification markings. |
| Packaging | Printed boxes, protective inserts, instructions, barcodes and shipping cartons. |
Available options depend on the product, technical feasibility and agreed order requirements.
Quality Control & Product Testing
Quality is checked at three stages, not only at the end.
Before Production
Review of materials, components, drawings, specifications and approved samples.
During Production
Dimensional, assembly, wiring, finish and functional checks at defined stages.
Before Dispatch
Final product inspection, agreed performance checks, packaging review and quantity verification.
Tests we perform or arrange, depending on the product
- Electrical safety and functional checks.
- Power consumption and driver operation.
- Light output, colour and beam evaluation.
- Temperature and thermal performance.
- Dimming and control compatibility.
- Mechanical operation and mounting checks.
- Ageing or burn-in testing under defined conditions.
- Environmental or protection testing where applicable.
Testing by external laboratories is identified separately from our own checks, and a published rating always refers to the product it was tested on.
From Enquiry to Delivery
Nine stages from your first message to delivery, with two points where nothing moves forward without your approval. Planning lighting for a whole project? See How We Work on our Services page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can YG manufacture from our drawings or samples?
Yes. We can manufacture from your drawings, specifications or a reference sample. We first review them for manufacturing feasibility and confirm the materials, components and finishes with you before a sample is prepared.
Can YG develop a new product and custom mould?
Yes. Through our ODM service we can develop a new product from an agreed brief, including engineering, prototypes and custom moulds. Ikkiso, our R&D partner in Japan, supports this development work. Whether a new mould is needed is confirmed during feasibility.
What customisation is available?
Dimensions, appearance, light performance, optics, mounting, electrical configuration, controls, protection requirements, branding and packaging can all be discussed. Available options depend on the product, technical feasibility and agreed order requirements.
What are the minimum order quantities?
Minimum quantities are agreed per project. They depend on the product, the level of customisation and whether new tooling is needed. Tell us your estimated quantity and we will advise what is practical.
How are sample, tooling and production charges handled?
Sample, tooling and production charges are set out in the quotation for each project. They depend on the development needed and the quantities involved, and are agreed before work begins.
How are mould ownership and exclusive use agreed?
Mould ownership and exclusive use are agreed for each project before tooling begins.
What determines lead time?
Lead time depends on whether the product is new or existing, whether tooling is needed, how long sample approval takes, the order quantity and component availability. A schedule is confirmed with the quotation.
How are samples approved?
A reference sample is prepared and reviewed against the approved drawings and specifications. Once you approve it, it becomes the agreed reference for production and inspection.
What testing and documentation are available?
Testing depends on the product and its market. We perform or arrange electrical, photometric, thermal and functional checks, and testing by external laboratories is identified separately. The documentation for each order, such as product specifications, packing lists and shipment documents, is agreed with you.
What warranty and after-sales terms apply?
Warranty and after-sales terms are agreed for each order, depending on the product and its application.
