Inside Litewave's LED Strip Manufacturing facilities: Precision, Innovation, and Reliability

Mon, 30 Jun 2025


 

At Litewave.co.uk, we don’t just supply LED Strip Lights—we engineer them from the ground up. With over 15 years of experience pioneering LED technology in the UK, we’ve developed a state-of-the-art production process that sets us apart as a leading authority in high-performance, reliable LED lighting systems.

UK led design with a focus on quality

Unlike mass-produced alternatives flooding the market, many of Litewave’s LED products—including our custom LED Strips, LED Tapes and LED Modules—are designed and, assembled to last way beyond the majority on products found elsewhere.  Our control allows us to ensure unmatched product longevity, thermal management, and color consistency—crucial for both domestic and commercial installations.

In-House expertise

When required, we make LED strips to fit your project, cutting, pre-wiring, sealing, and providing bespoke schematics —saving installers time and reducing failure points.  The shear time saves will often pay for the additional cost of our products over the cheap Strips found elsewhere.

Durable by Design

Our LED products are engineered for long life in real-world conditions. That includes waterproofing options, UV and resistant materials, and optimized circuitry to prevent voltage drop and ensure full brightness along the entire strip. We use high-quality copper PCBs, premium resistors, and LEDs sourced only from trusted global suppliers.

Production and Testing

The LED Components and are populated onto the pcb by a pick and place robotic arm. They come out of the other side soldered. Tens of thousands of components can be placed in a single hour.
