Integrated Development Workflow
From Project Brief to Stable Production
MANI combines application review, engineering, prototype validation and controlled manufacturing into one clear project path, with an agreed output at every stage.
Requirement Review
We review the application, installation environment, dimensions, lighting targets, controls, target market, quantity and schedule.
A confirmed requirement checklist and identification of missing information.
Feasibility & Solution
Our engineers evaluate the most suitable product platform, customization depth, technical risks and development requirements.
A recommended technical direction, key risk notes and quotation basis.
Engineering Definition
We define the structure, materials, optics, LED and driver configuration, controls, mounting and required documentation.
Engineering drawings and an agreed technical specification.
Prototype & Validation
A functional sample is prepared and evaluated against the agreed structural, optical, electrical and installation requirements.
A review sample and applicable test or performance records.
Approval & Production
Both teams confirm the sample, specification, critical components, labels, packaging, production quantity and delivery plan.
A clear production baseline based on the approved configuration.
Quality, Delivery & Support
Materials, assembly and finished products are checked against the approved requirements before shipment and future order support.
Inspected production, agreed documents and delivery support.
Project timing: Development time depends on customization depth, tooling, sample iterations, testing, certification and quantity. MANI provides a stage-by-stage schedule after the feasibility review.
Customization Capabilities
Four Systems, Engineered as One Product
MANI customizes the mechanical, optical, electrical and commercial details required to make the product fit your application and move smoothly from approval to production.
Each configuration is reviewed according to the application, installation conditions and agreed project requirements.
Discuss Your Requirements
Structure & Installation
- Custom dimensions and product structures
- Wall, ceiling, suspension and linkable mounting
- Brackets, end caps and cable-entry adjustments
- Reinforced structures, diffusers, colors and finishes
Better installation fit with fewer on-site modifications.
Optical & LED Performance
- Wattage and lumen-output configuration
- CCT from 2700K to 6500K with high-CRI options
- Single-sided, double-sided or 360° illumination
- Beam, diffuser, lens, glare and uniformity optimization
Lighting performance matched to the space, task and visual-comfort target.
Drivers & Smart Controls
- Standard ON/OFF and 1–10V dimming
- DALI and DALI-2 integration
- Tunable-white and emergency options

Quality Assurance & Engineering Validation
From Approved Sample to Consistent Production
Every customized configuration is reviewed against the agreed requirements before production. Materials, assembly and finished products are then checked against the approved project baseline.
Controlled Quality Path
Quality control connected to the approved configuration.
The product specification, approved sample and critical components provide the reference for applicable inspection and validation work.
- 01 Incoming Material Control Key materials and components are checked according to the applicable project requirements.
- 02 Prototype Validation Functional samples are evaluated before the production configuration is approved.
- 03 In-Process Inspection Assembly and critical product details are checked during controlled manufacturing.
- 04 Final Inspection Finished products are checked against the approved requirements before packing and shipment.
The approved sample should not become a different product in mass production.
Quality evidence connected to your project
Available documents and records depend on the selected model, destination market and agreed project requirements.
Application-Driven Engineering
Designed Around Real Operating Conditions
Product configuration starts with where the luminaire will be used, how it will be installed and what it must withstand—not with a fixed one-size-fits-all specification.

Buyer Questions
OEM / ODM Customization FAQ
Clear answers to the questions buyers usually ask before starting a custom lighting project with MANI.
Still have a project-specific question? Send us your application, drawing or product idea. Our engineers will help identify the next step.
Ask a Project QuestionCan MANI help if we only have a product idea?
Yes. Share the application, installation conditions, target performance, market, quantity and schedule. We can evaluate whether an existing MANI platform can be adapted or whether ODM development is required.
What is the difference between OEM, ODM and platform customization?
OEM starts mainly from your defined drawing or specification. ODM starts from a product concept or market need requiring further engineering. Platform customization adapts an existing MANI product to reduce development time, cost and risk.
What is the MOQ for a custom project?
MOQ depends on the product platform, customization depth, tooling, components and packaging. MANI will recommend the most practical route after reviewing your requirements.
Can we approve a sample before mass production?
Yes. Functional samples can be prepared for technical, visual and installation evaluation before production approval.
How long does a custom project take?
Timing depends on structure, tooling, sample iterations, testing and certification. A project schedule is provided after the feasibility review.
Can MANI support dimming, emergency functions and certification requirements?
MANI can evaluate ON/OFF, 1–10V, DALI/DALI-2, tunable-white and emergency configurations. Certification support depends on the final configuration and target market.
How do you keep production consistent with the approved sample?
Approved drawings, specifications, critical components, labeling and packaging form the production baseline. Materials, production and finished products are checked against applicable agreed requirements.
Will our project information be protected?
NDA support is available. Tooling ownership, design ownership, confidentiality and exclusivity can be confirmed before development begins.
