Questions to Ask For Custom Lighting Projects

One of the key benefits to American Bright is our flexibility with custom rope lights, and other PCB projects. We have talented engineering support in our North American office, and manufacturing engineers in our overseas facilities that aid in the design of custom lighting projects.

Starting a custom project can be daunting, so we put together a list of questions to ask customers for a smooth design process.

Questions for Flexible Rope Lights

Voltage? (5V/12V/24V)
Length and other specific dimensions
Which series do they want? (AB-FA, AB-FB, AB-FC, AB-FH, AB-FF, AB-FO)
Do they need an IP rated light strip?
What color(s)? Do they need addressable or not?
How many LEDs/m?
Do they need connectors on the end or are plain wires fine?
Any other additional pieces they want to add on the assembly? (aluminum extrusions, frosted lens, etc.)

Questions for AC and DC Modules

What is the Brightness?
What is the Color Temperature?
Is it AC or DC – What voltage?
Do they want a specific LED (Nichia or Lumiled)? What color?
What is the Quantity?
What is the Application?
Where and How it the module going to be mounted?
Do they need it to be IP rated? What rating?
What are the dimensions? Is it Linear or Round?
Do they need a Cover lens? What type of material?
Do they need wires or connectors?

It is always helpful and will speed up the design process and quoting if you can obtain the following:

- Gerber files

- BOM

- Schematics diagrams

- 3D Drawings
