MANUFACTURE

Ecopoint sources products from a keystone manufacturer in China, who we have worked with since 2009. They are true pioneers in LED lighting, being the first manufacturer to bring LED tubes to the market in 2005.

The factory has invested heavily in technology to manufacture commercial and industrial lighting products for multiple international markets, with diverse compliance requirements. As a result, products are internationally certified by UL, VDE, TUV, DLC, RoHS and SAA.

In addition to this primary relationship, we also work with two other Shenzen-based manufacturers.

 

Quality Control

The factory has a full range of manufacturing and testing capabilities, including:

  • PCB 'pick and place' robots for LED array assembly.
  • Power supply/driver assembly.
  • Semi-automated final assembly lines.
  • Automated pre-despatch 'age-testing'.
  • Integrating sphere and Goniophotometer testing.

All finished products are subject to fully powered-up 'age-testing' prior to packaging and despatch, and this critical quality check virtually eliminates 'dead on arrival' faults when installed. Ecopoint employs a Quality Control Manager, based at the factory, who inspects every shipment prior to despatch.

 

Environmentally Responsible

Where possible, Ecopoint disposes of luminaires and components in a sustainable fashion via recyclers to minimise environmental impact. To achieve this goal we make use of the services of Eartlink Incorporated. The organisation was established to not only assist organisations and individuals achieve their sustainability goals, but also to provide opportunities to those members of the community who struggle to get work due to mental health, addiction or other barriers.
