Your product's lighting design is in good hands with Lumitex:

We work with a variety of customers, including engineers, design firms, manufacturers and more.

Discover

Before we can help with your project, we need to understand your goals and challenges

We want to help you meet all the goals of your project, and to do that we need to understand what they are. In the discovery phase of our process, the first step is for you to have a discussion with our team to talk through your goals, challenges, and any requirements you have when it comes to your lighting system and your project as a whole. We want to understand the specifications for your system as well as any design requirements.

Looking to use light to add innovation to your project, but not sure where to start? We also offer as part of our discovery phase a brainstorming session with our passionate and energetic engineering team. This add-on service brings our team and your team together to talk through all of the possibilities for your project’s lighting system solution. The sky is the limit!

During the discovery phase you can expect to receive:

• A list of your project requirements based on initial discussions
• A draft statement of work for your review

Feasibility

In this phase, we want to make sure we can add value to your overall project to ensure your success

We want to develop and build partnerships where we can help streamline lighting system development. This can’t happen if we can’t truly add value to the process for our customers.

In the feasibility stage of our process, we already understand your requirements for your project and are now trying to determine all of the possibilities to solve your unique challenge. We will start to explore technologies and potential ways to come up with a solution, and in the end determine if, where, and how we can add value to your lighting system development.

During the feasibility phase you can expect to receive:

• Preliminary design approaches (pathways)
• Preliminary costs and time estimates for development

Prototype and Testing

During the prototyping step, we will develop a functional prototype of the approved lighting system design so you can see how the right light can help you accomplish your goals

We understand that often seeing is believing and this is how we show you that having the right lighting matters.  During the prototyping step, we will develop a functional prototype of the approved lighting system design so you can see how the right light can help you accomplish your goals.

We’re fast

Because we have an on-site prototyping lab with dedicated prototyping equipment, we are able to turn around prototypes quickly which can help speed up the overall product development process.

Practice makes perfect

Or maybe it’s actually testing makes perfect… We can develop optical and electrical testing plans, run the test, and analyze the test results all in-house. This can help you assure that your prototype is perfect for your project.

Pre-Production

We make sure the prototype is production ready. If you like it, it can be produced just the way it is saving you the time, money, and resources it requires to source suppliers for the component parts. This is especially helpful in the highly regulated industries of automotive and medical devices. All of our prototypes are developed with production intent with quality and regulatory requirements in mind so you don’t need to worry about approving a prototype and then having to redesign it to get it into production.

But maybe you need adjustments made to the design, output or manufacturability? No worries! We want your lighting system design to be exactly what you need and will work through those changes with you.

During the prototyping phase you can expect to receive:

• Physical prototypes at quantity
• Bill of Materials at volume
• Cost and time estimates for manufactured products at volume

Production

Whether you, a contract manufacturer, or Lumitex is producing the lighting system or component we can help you transition your concept/prototype to production. We have the capabilities in-house to produce a lighting system and also do component and final assembly

We will work with you to develop manufacturing processes and test run these processes at volume and eventually run the first lot.

We have many capabilities within our production:

• Pick n Place
• Laser
• Roll Stamp
• Proprietary production processes for fiber optic panels and light guide film technologies
• Component assembly
• Electronic assembly

We also have production expertise in the medical device and automotive industries and have knowledge of the regulatory and compliance factors that are involved.

We can do production at either of our facilities in the US or Asia. Depending on where you or your customers are located or your project needs this could help save on the overall cost of the system.

In the design and prototyping phases, we can design the system for production, but the production does not have to be done with us. Sometimes it may not make sense to have us do the production, but if we are able to design and also produce the lighting system for you, it can help speed up the process and also save on overall costs.
