CUSTOM LIGHTING COMPONENTS
Custom Aluminum Die-Cast Light & Heat-Dissipation Housings
HSX supplies custom aluminum die-cast lighting housings and structural parts as raw castings or with the machining and finishing agreed for the order. Supply is based on confirmed drawings or a physical sample followed by technical confirmation. The scope does not include complete lamps, circuit boards, light sources or drivers.
Suitable Housing and Thermal Structures
Relevant parts can include finned housings, heat-dissipation bodies, covers, mounting rings and structural shells with ribs, bosses, cable openings, threaded holes, flat mounting faces and defined visible areas. The heat source, assembly and sealing context are reviewed with the actual geometry.
Project Information to Send
Provide the housing drawing and 3D model when available, heat-source and mounting locations, mating components, flatness or interface requirements, sealing responsibility, critical openings, finish zones, color or texture reference, quantity, inspection basis and packing requirements. Photos are useful for initial discussion only, not as a basis for tooling or production. If usable drawings are unavailable, provide a physical sample and complete the technical confirmation before tooling or production.
Possible Housing Manufacturing Route
A suitable project may use HSX mold design, aluminum die casting, trimming, gate removal, deburring, drilling, tapping, polishing, powder coating or spray painting, inspection and packing. CNC machining, anodizing and electroplating are partner-supported and are scoped separately when required.
Thermal and Appearance Review Boundary
Fin thickness and spacing, metal flow, wall transitions, flat mounting faces, machining access, sealing interfaces and coating build require drawing-level review. HSX does not promise thermal performance from a reference image and does not present itself as a supplier of complete lamps, optics, drivers or certified lighting systems.
MOQ and initial mold trial
The minimum production run is 300 die-casting shots. The initial mold trial is a 50-piece batch for sample review and confirmation. Tooling is quoted separately from the part price, with the included machining, finishing and packing scope clearly identified. Identify whether the order is for raw castings or aluminum parts with agreed machining and finishing. Include the specified gate-removal, drilling or tapping and packing requirements. Fin geometry, mounting faces and appearance requirements must be reviewed when comparing prices.
Small-batch lead time
After the mold is completed, small-batch orders have an estimated lead time of around 15 days, depending on the required machining, finishing and other operations. The estimated schedule is confirmed during quotation based on the required processes, helping customers plan purchasing and assembly. Agree on sample acceptance requirements for the aluminum part: mounting faces, hole and thread positions, gate-removal condition, visible surfaces and any specified finish. Confirm which dimensions apply to the raw casting and which apply after machining or coating. Confirm sample approval, any necessary corrections, inspection and packing before batch production. Thermal or sealing requirements need an agreed verification method; neither is guaranteed by a housing photograph.
