Customization Scope

Custom LED Optics Designed Around Your Luminaire

Asahi can develop custom optical lenses according to your LED package, PCB layout, optical requirement, fixture structure and target lighting application.

Custom optics should start with the luminaire, not a standard lens

Asahi can develop custom optical lenses according to your LED package, PCB layout, optical requirement, fixture structure and target lighting application.

What Can Be Customized

  • Beam angle and light distribution
  • Lens size, shape and mounting structure
  • Waterproof or sealing structure
  • Surface texture and optical features
  • Optical mold and production tooling

Material Flexibility

Custom LED lenses can be developed with PC or PMMA materials. If your project requires a specific material brand or grade, Asahi can evaluate and source according to your requirement.

  • Optical-grade PC lens development
  • Optical-grade PMMA lens development
  • Customer-specified material brands
  • Material selection based on transmittance, thermal and outdoor requirements

FAQ

FAQ About Custom LED Lenses

Common questions from lighting manufacturers evaluating custom optical lens design and production.

Can Asahi customize LED lenses for my luminaire?

Yes. Asahi can customize LED lenses according to your LED package, PCB layout, fixture structure, beam angle, light distribution and application requirements.

What materials can be used for custom LED lenses?

Asahi can produce custom LED lenses using PC and PMMA materials. Customer-specified material brands or grades can also be evaluated according to project requirements.

Can Asahi design the optical lens mold?

Yes. Asahi supports optical lens mold development, sample production, small-batch trial production and mass production for custom optical projects.

How long does custom LED lens development take?

Typical optical design takes 3-10 days, mold development takes 28 days, sample production takes 5-7 days and mass production can usually be arranged within 3-5 days after confirmation.

Do you support small-batch trial production?

Yes. Asahi supports small-batch trial production before mass production, helping customers validate optical performance, assembly compatibility and market demand.

Can I send samples, 2D drawings or 3D files?

Yes. Customers can send samples, PCB layouts, 2D drawings, 3D files, IES targets or reference products for engineering review.
