As a manufacturer and distributor of high-quality units, such as scanners, computers, aircrafts or medical instruments, it’s crucial to retain your aftermarket. Light Sources now offers its global OEM specialty fluorescent lamp customers a sustainable and beneficial concept, which we have successfully marketed to our UV germicidal lamp clients. And we’ve done this for over 27 years with tremendous success. The customized and proprietary solutions are one of the many reasons why clients have described us as an organization where “customer commitment is second to none”.

What we do is simple: We support equipment manufacturers like you to build, nurture and protect their aftermarket business. No, it has nothing to do with magic – we are a manufacturer just like you. However, by working with us, you not only can offer a branded line of high-performance fluorescent lamps in any lengths, any shape or in any proprietary phosphor blend. You can also benefit from a complete lamp range – from T5, T8, T6, T10 to T12 – with patented bases and sockets specifically designed for your quality units and your individual exclusive use.Ceramic End Caps and Proprietary Solutions 1

So, what’s the point of completely customized and proprietary specialty fluorescent lamps? It goes back to offering your customers something no one else can!

Today, every manufacturer looks for proprietary uniqueness that will give them an edge in the market. In terms of your own systems or units, that differentiator can be the form factor of the unit, or the onboard features designed into the unit.

Prototypes can be crucial in your preliminary system designs. They are highly valuable as first phase physical samples for determining dimensional compatibility between our lamps and your system.
