Why Should You Customize with 1882 Lighting?

Sometimes a project’s requirements demand specific and complex design solutions. Customization gives you the ability to meet those requirements by designing a unique product that is suitable for your project. Do you need a solution for a custom pole and a custom light fixture? Architects and specifiers have the ability to focus on the end user’s needs without having to shop around. Do you need a flexible manufacturing process? At 1882 Lighting, our manufacturing process gives you the ability to make multiple changes and configurations of the standard product and the development of a new product. Also, you can use our custom capabilities to draw and match inspiration from any competitor’s product. 1882 Lighting’s custom modifications allow architects, specifiers, and end-users to tweak standard products to their specific needs with limited cost implications. Do you have a large-scale project that needs practical design and build specifications? 1882 Lighting can modify any large-scale project to offer you a full-blown custom product.

What Sets Us Apart

1882 Lighting is well known as the go-to manufacturer for premium custom and modification work. At 1882 Lighting, our two in-house manufacturing engineers have extensive experience in the industry, which means we can quickly and easily develop a solution for any custom project. Our manufacturing process is further streamlined by a vertically integrated supply chain for the supply of LED array and component parts. Additionally, 1882 Lighting works directly with local foundries to source local supplies of aluminum extrusions and substrates as well as to provide premium high quality, efficient, and consistent A365 aluminum sand castings.

With 1882 Lighting, you can expect efficiency and quality at each stage of the design process — from request to concept, to manufacturing, to shipping. Every 1882 Lighting casting and component is hand-dipped in an iron phosphate bath prior to the application of a super durable polyester powder coat finish that gives all our products longer life without the potential of fading or color shift.

It is our mission to ensure you the utmost customer service satisfaction. To this end, our customer service team consists of experts who are ready to assist you through each stage of the manufacturing process.
