How do I order your services or Artisan Lighting designs?
Due to the the high demand and custom nature of our business, we have longer wait times for new builds. The first step to working with us is to submit a 'Contact Us' form, complete with the details of your project. Make sure to include the year, make and model of your vehicle, and the services and features you're interested in.
We only get a chance to check our email once a day, if we're not busy. Otherwise, please allow 2-3 business days for a response. Failure to provide complete information will only further delay and push you to the back of the list.
Together, we will plan and discuss the details of your build, so we can provide you estimated pricing and schedule.

LED Conversion & Animation
The foundation of an electronic device is the printed circuit board (PCB). They are the roadways of electronics. There are a lot of variables involved in manufacturing electronic devices. Advancements in modern technology have made it possible to manufacture reliable and high quality electronic devices in small quantities. PCBs are made specific to a design. It can either be the OEM pattern or a Custom Pattern. (Our Custom Pattern service for LED Conversion coincide with our Artisan Lighting service. Custom design and build planning is required to get a general idea of pricing.)
We hand-pick electronic components we utilize based on their functionality and features. Surface mounted devices (SMD) are the current standard in the electronics industry as well as our personal preference due to their very low profile dimensions, high intensity not to mention the latest in LED technology. Just to give you an idea, a single 3528 SMD LED (3.5mm x 2.8mm) can be as bright (or even brighter) as a single superflux LED (5mm x 5mm). Its rectangular profile allows us to mount the LEDs much closer to each other to achieve more seamless lines and intricate patterns even without diffuser material.
After the math, the PCB's are designed via computer aided design (CAD). Hundreds of hours may go into this stage of the build. We figure out the schematics based on the features included and each wiring is routed manually much like a puzzle.
We receive the boards within a week or two of submitting the designs to the manufacturer. Solder paste is applied on the pads, and whether there is a hundred or three thousand, each component is arranged manually for the time being. The assembly is placed in a reflow oven, set to the electronics data sheet specifications to heat the solder paste to its melting point and weld the components permanently on the board. Components mounted on the opposite surface are soldered by hand. The completed LED Conversions are tested countless times for functionality before being installed in the light assemblies.
