Can I buy a standard reflective lighting assembly from Reflective Concepts?
Not at this time.  Since every reflective lighting and segmented lighting assembly we make is a tailor made design for each customer and application, we don’t offer a standard reflector assembly.

Can you design a custom reflective lighting assembly to fit my needs?
We have extensive ‘design for manufacture’ and mechanical engineering experience with reflective materials.  We have a variety of photometric design options available should you need to meet a specific custom reflector assembly design requirement.

Can you inventory reflectors and lighting components for me to improve delivery?
Yes.  Arrangements can be made for individual reflective lighting requirements.

Do I have to buy tooling to make a reflector assembly?
No.  Most reflectors or reflective lighting systems can be manufactured without tooling.  If there is a situation requiring tooling, we have several options for production or short-run/prototypes.

How fast can you manufacture a reflective lighting prototype for me?
Most reflective lighting or segmented lighting prototypes can be done in a few days to two or three weeks.  It is very dependent upon the reflector design.

What data format do you need for custom designed reflector assembly information?
We can accept drawings and 3D data in a variety of formats.  Drawings can be PDF, DWG, DXF and others.  3D files can be Solidworks, IGES, STP, STL and others.  Please contact us for any file type you don't see here.

What information do you need to quote a reflective lighting assembly or reflector components?
We will need some initial design information for the geometric shape and the materials desired.  An estimated usage (quantity or EAU) will help us to choose the appropriate production methods.  Will you require a reflective lighting prototype (highly recommended) for testing and evaluation?  Are there any inspections such as a 1st Article or PPAP required?

What material should I use for my reflective lighting assembly?
Material selection is a critical part of your reflector design.  We can assist you in selecting the best materials for your needs.  Determining factors include your specific application, light source and budget.  Our inventory of reflective materials is the largest in North America, providing more choices to fit your application.  See our Material Properties Video for more information.
