From Concept to Container: How OEM/ODM Lighting Development Works at EASTTOP
Custom lighting development fails most often in the gaps between stages — when prototype approval happens without testing, or production starts before the BOM is locked. Our workflow closes those gaps explicitly.
The eight stages: concept, design, prototype, testing, sample approval, production, QC and delivery. Each stage has a defined output and a sign-off, so both sides always know where the project stands.
DFM review happens before tooling commitments — engineering feedback at the sketch stage costs nothing, changes at the tooling stage cost weeks.
BOMs, critical components and finishes are locked per project, and every batch ships with QC documentation against the approved golden sample. That is how repeat orders stay identical to the first delivery.
