A walk through the factory

From drawing to sealed container, under one roof

  1. 01

    Design & tooling

    Our engineers turn a sketch into 3D drawings and cut the moulds and press tools in our own tool room — so a change to a shade takes days, not a supplier’s queue.

  2. 02

    Metalwork

    Frames are cut, spun, welded and ground in-house. Every weld on a load-bearing arm is pull-tested on the first piece of each batch.

    First-piece pull test on every batch

  3. 03

    Finishing

    Powder coating, brushing and plating on our own lines. Colour is matched to your Pantone or RAL reference and signed off on a panel before the run.

    Colour signed off before the run

  4. 04

    Assembly

    Twelve lines, two with automatic SMT for LED boards. Wiring is checked for polarity and earth continuity at the end of the line, every piece.

    100% hi-pot and earth test

  5. 05

    Burn-in

    Every finished lamp is lit for eight hours at 45 °C before it is boxed. Early failures happen here, not in your warehouse.

    8 h at 45 °C, every lamp

    Inspection & packing

    Our QC team inspects to AQL 2.5 and welcomes your own inspector or a third party. Cartons are drop-tested to ISTA 1A before we fix the packing.

How OEM and ODM work with us

Buyers, in their own words

Importers who came for a sample and stayed for years

Published with each buyer’s permission. We do not edit what they say.

  1. We visited three factories on our first trip to Ningbo. Tradewind was the only one that showed us their burn-in room without being asked. Nine years later our return rate on their bulbs is still under half a percent.

    Martin KellerHead of Purchasing, Lichthaus Keller GmbH Germany · buying since 2016 14 containers of pendants and bulbs since 2016
  2. Daniel sorted our SAA approval before the first order shipped, and the loading photos arrived before the invoice did. That is the whole reason we stayed.

    Amelia BrooksFounder, Brooks & Wren Lighting Australia · buying since 2019 Private-label chandeliers and rings, 6 containers
  3. Our hotel projects never have the same drawing twice. Their shop drawings come back in a week and the assembled piece on video before it is crated. We have not had a site surprise since.

    Diego SalazarDirector of Projects, Luminaria Salazar Mexico · buying since 2021 Hotel chandeliers to drawings, 11 projects
  4. Consistent CCT across lots matters more to us than price. We test every shipment and they have never failed our incoming inspection on colour.

    Hannah OkoroCategory Buyer, Lighting, Northgate Home Retail United Kingdom · buying since 2018 Own-brand filament lamps, 3 million pieces
  5. We asked for a colour nobody else would do in 200 pieces. They sent a painted panel for approval in four days.

    Lucas BernardOwner, Atelier Bernard France · buying since 2022 Copper and enamel pendants, custom RAL colours
