Lamp Sub-Assemblies

For the best economical solution, LCD Lighting offers our customers a unique and comfortable “one-stop-shopping” experience. On site we can fully produce assembled Lamp Sub-Assembly (LSA) units to your specific design drawings and specifications. The LSA includes the lamp, wiring harnesses, connectors, heaters, sensors and reflective backplate or cavity.

Our new isolated clean room assembly area features state-of-the-art ESD equipment and workstations for electrostatic discharge free assembly. The addition of key experienced personnel underwrites our investment to better serve our customers.

If we are already producing the fluorescent lamp for you, then consider taking advantage of our experience, assembly acumen, lower labor rates, reduced shrinkage, lower material inventories and improved cycle times by having LCD Lighting assemble your LSA modules per your drawings and specifications. Instead of receiving and handling the fragile fluorescent lamp, we will deliver a fully tested module to “plug-and-play” into your system.

Any, or all, of the following value added services could be performed by us at lower costs and faster turn-around times for you:

• Lamp Heater
• Temperature Sensor
• Optical Sensor
• Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC)
• Wire Harness Assembly with or without Connector
• Reflective Backplate or Lamp Cavity
• Full LSA Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP)
