Interactive walking tour, with audio headset & safety eyewear (as required), through an LED light fixture manufacturing facility. From raw materials to finished luminaires, multiple stages of a vertically integrated process are demonstrated and explained, with real-time questions allowed, along with follow-up discussion upon completion of the tour. Engineering department and multi-stage manufacturing plant departments to be visited include: • Engineering Department – New Product Development: Market insights, advancements in technology, experience, and creative synergy, inspire new ideas, which all undergo a tried-n-true concurrent-development process, involving all departments. • Engineering Department – Design Tools: Components are designed using powerful 3D-modeling software. 3D-printed prototypes and samples made in our Machine Shop are evaluated for aesthetic form, physical-fit, part-mating, mechanical details, safety, and lighting performance. • Engineering Department - Heat Test Lab: To verify compliance with national standards for thermal characteristics of luminaires in typical mounting conditions, in a temperature-controlled setting. • Engineering Department - Photometric Test Lab: To test and document the photometric performance and lighting (wavelength) characteristics of a luminaire. Typical report includes: Candela distribution curve, luminaire lumens, zonal lumens, luminaire watts, coefficients of utilization, spacing criteria, and Unified Glare Rating (UGR). • Laser Department: State-of-the-Art, computer controlled, Laser Machines to cut raw material into precise, flat shapes, with minimal waste and maximum number of parts per sheet. • Tool & Die Department: This department takes care of CNC programmed machining for standard product parts, as well as custom, on-the-fly parts. Many large companies sub these jobs out, but in this factory, it is all done in-house, which helps maintain quality control and minimizes lead times. All custom LED luminaires flow through this department. • Fabrication Department - Metal Spinning/Welding/Press operations: Factory-tooled, hand spun aluminum reflectors require great skill, strength, and experience to mass-produce. When combined with additional parts formed via press-break, bending, rolling, or welding operations, the result is a well-crafted luminaire chassis.
