Q1. What's the xx in your part number stands for?
For example, taking LL01CR-AOxxL-Mx for example, the xx in front of L stands for the beam angle.   
    There are six beam are available for this model for Cree XRE, which are 15°, 25°, 40°, 60°, 80°, and 
    oval beam 25°x45°; and the x after the M refers to the colour of the holder, M1 is black holder, M2 is
    white holder, and M3 is transparent holder. For insteance, the part number of the oval beam pattern in
    black holder is LL01CR-AO2545-M1.
Q2. The definition of the angle in Ledlink

The definition of the beam angle (FWHM) is half view, which defines by Energy Star, 50% light intensity.
     The definition of the beam angle in Ledlink is in full view, which is 90% of light intensity.
     Please refer to figure one for reference. There are three colour of curves in this figure, the half angle
     of these curves are the same, which is 30°; however, the beam patterns of these three are slightly
     different as the full angle of curve A is 80°, curve B is 60°, and curve C is 50°. For example, the feeling
     of the beam pattern A is more uniform than beam pattern C; but the beam pattern C will be brighter than
     beam pattern A. Ledlink would like to enable our customers apply our products more accurately to meet
     their original expectation.

Q3. Can you do custom design (ODM) of the lens? And what's the process? Do you do 
        the optical design by yourself?

Yes, we can do custom design according to your demands and we do it by our (12) optical engineers;
     and the total lead time from the design to first trial shot product is within 30 to 45 days. If you are in
     urgent, the lead time can be reduced within 20 days case by case.
     (a) We will provide you a simulation report which generates by Fred or Tracepro within 7 days after get
           your confirmation of the requirements.
     (b) After have the confirmation of the simulation report form you, we'll start to process the tooling and 
          provide you the first trial shot product within 28 days. At the beginning, there's only one cavity in
          your custom tooling as the product hasn't been approved. Once we have your approval of the T1
         (first trial shot) sample, we'll start to do the clone process to either two cavities or four cavities, this
          depends on the situation.
     (c) We will be responsible to meet all the requirements which we have discussed with you.

Q4. Which material you are going to use for the custom design?
Normally we will adapt PMMA (Acrylic) to optimise the efficiency of the lens. However, for certain
     requirements, such as outdoor application or the lens which requires stronger mechanical strength, we
     will use PC (Polycarbonate).
Q5. Can your lens pass UL certification?
The material we are using can pass UL certification; we can provide you the concrete data for reference.
     Please contact us for further information.
Q6. Can you do the tooling according to our design (OEM) of the lens or the plastic
       components? Do you do the mould tooling by yourself or outsource them?
Yes, we can do the tooling for you according to your design. In this case we’ll be responsible for the
     dimensions (within tolerance range) only instead of the beam pattern and the angle. Certainly we do
     the plastic components for your lighting fixture as well. Ledlink does the tooling in house 100% and we
     have advanced tooling facilities in our factory. You may contact us to arrange a factory tour if you are
     interested.
Q7. What's the data you need to do the custom product?
(a) What is the LED manufacturer and the type you are using or intend to use?
     (b) Please provide the MCPCB layout if available
     (c) What is the beam angle you need? Please specify it is in half view (50% light intensity) or full view
          (90% light intensity).
     (d) Please pass us the specific optical requirements if available. For example, from certain height to
           the surface and certain level of lux needs to be generated, etc.
     (e) What are the limitations of the diameter and the height the lens?
     (f)  Please pass us the 2D figure of the heat sink if available as these will help to design the  
          mechanical design of the custom lens.
Q8. Can you provide the ies file or the MCPCB for your lens?
Yes, we are able to provide you the ies file for our lens according to LEDs; The ies files are available
     for all our standard products and you may contact us for further information. In addition, we provide
     compatible MCPCB for our standard lenses for you to conduct the test. So far our product range is
     from single lens, 3in1, 4in1, 5in1, 6in1, 7in1, 9in1, 12in1, 15in1, 18in1, 24in1, 36in1, to 60in1. Please
     contact us for further information and technical support.
Q9. Do you have the product list by LED manufacturers and the LED type?
Yes, we have complete product lists according to LED manufacturers and the LED type. Our catalog
     lists all our standard lenses and provides you the general idea of the dimensions and the available
     beam angle. Please contact us for further detail information.
Q10. How can we request for samples? And how many pieces of free samples you are 
         able to provide?
We are glad to provide you the samples for conducting tests and the free samples quantities are varied
     according to application. For example, for street lights, we are able to provide you up to 100pcs to
     ensure you are able to create a fixture to conduct tests. Please contact us for surther support and
     information.
Q11. Is there any MOQ of your standard lenses?
We don't have MOQ for our standard products.
Q12. Do you have any certifications of your factory?
So far Ledlink has be certificated by TUV for ISO9001, and 14001. Please contact us if you need the
     certification data.
