Project Overview
In 2024, BeiDou Lighting, a leading integrated manufacturer and exporter of outdoor wall lights and lawn lights, partnered with a real estate development company in Australia to deliver over 3,000 units of custom-designed lighting for a large residential community project.
This case study details the entire process—from initial consultation to delivery—highlighting our factory’s design, manufacturing, and export capabilities, and showcasing our commitment to quality and customer success.
Project Background
The client, a reputable Australian developer, was building a new suburban residential community with over 400 detached homes, landscaped gardens, pedestrian pathways, and communal areas.
Their design brief prioritized:
Consistent architectural aesthetics across the entire community
High-quality, durable outdoor lighting that could withstand coastal weather
Compliance with local electrical and safety standards
Energy efficiency through advanced LED technology
Reliable supply chain with clear communication and on-time delivery
Given the project's size and timeline, the client wanted a single supplier capable of both manufacturing and managing the export process smoothly.
Why They Chose Us
BeiDou Lighting won the contract against several local and overseas competitors for these key reasons:
✅ Factory-Trade Integration: We own and operate our factory while managing our export business directly, ensuring seamless control from production to delivery.
✅ Custom Design Support: Our in-house design team offered flexible options tailored to the developer’s branding and aesthetic needs.
✅ Proven Quality Control: With IP65-rated, die-cast aluminum construction and certified LED drivers, our products met strict environmental and electrical standards.
✅ Competitive Pricing: Our integrated approach reduced costs while maintaining premium quality.
✅ Experience with Australia: Familiarity with Australian compliance SAA certification and shipping requirements gave the client confidence in a smooth process.
Understanding the Client’s Requirements
Early in the process, our international sales team organized detailed video conferences with the developer’s design consultants and procurement team.
Key design requirements included:
A modern yet warm design language for the wall lights, complementing minimalist facades.
Lawn lights with a low-glare design for pathways and garden areas.
A uniform warm-white color temperature (3000K) throughout the site.
High weather-resistance with IP65 minimum rating and corrosion-proof materials.
Compliance with local voltage (220–240V) and driver standards (SAA certified).
Bulk delivery split into two phases to match construction timelines.
Our engineering and sales teams prepared multiple design proposals with detailed CAD drawings, photometric simulations, and cost breakdowns.
Design and Prototyping
After approval of the initial designs, our factory moved to rapid prototyping:
We produced 3D-printed samples of the wall light housings to verify dimensions and mounting compatibility.
Functional prototypes with the specified LED drivers and optics were assembled and shipped via express courier to Australia for on-site review.
The client conducted local testing for brightness, color temperature, and installation ease.
Manufacturing at Scale
Our factory began production immediately after design approval.
Key manufacturing highlights:
Die-Casting: High-precision aluminum housings were produced in our own die-casting workshop.
Powder Coating: Custom color matching (architectural grey) with UV-resistant powder coating to ensure long-lasting aesthetics in Australian sun.
Assembly: Integration of certified LED drivers and modules, all tested for electrical safety and consistent color temperature.
Waterproof Testing: 100% of the batch passed IP65 spray tests and electrical tests.
Batch QC Reports: Shared with the client to maintain full transparency.
Our factory’s flexible production capacity enabled parallel manufacturing of both wall lights and lawn lights, ensuring the entire order was completed on schedule.
Managing the Export Process
Being an integrated manufacturer and exporter, BeiDou Lighting handled the entire export workflow in-house:
✅ Coordinated packaging design with the client’s branding requirements.
✅ Used export-grade packaging for safe transit over long distances.
✅ Arranged ocean shipping with phased delivery matching the client’s construction schedule.
✅ Provided full shipping documentation (Bill of Lading, packing list, invoice, SAA compliance certificate) well in advance.
✅ Assisted the client’s customs broker in Australia for smooth clearance.
This one-stop service reduced the client’s administrative burden and eliminated delays caused by third-party trading companies.
Installation and Client Feedback
Upon delivery, the client’s contractors installed the wall and lawn lights across the residential community.
Client-reported benefits included:
Uniform warm-white illumination enhancing the community’s premium look.
Sturdy construction withstanding harsh coastal winds and salty air.
Ease of installation thanks to clear mounting guides and pre-wired connections.
Significant energy savings compared to traditional outdoor lighting systems.
Zero failures reported in the first six months of operation.
The developer praised our team’s professional communication, technical expertise, and reliable delivery. Based on this success, we have since been invited to bid on additional phases of their development projects.
