Engineered to rigorous Japanese electrical and aesthetic standards. Designed for seamless recessed, surface-mount, and cove integration in high-end commercial, hotel, and residential developments across Japan.
Understanding technical compliance, spatial constraints, and aesthetic expectations in modern Japanese architectural procurement.
Japanese architectural design prioritizes minimal ceiling cavity usage and clean, continuous lines of light (*Kanketsu Shomei*). Our custom linear extrusions feature sub-10mm profile heights, recessed trimless channels, and ultra-narrow apertures specifically tailored for Japanese grid modules (303mm / 455mm stud spacing).
Compliance with Japan's Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law (PSE Mark) is mandatory. We provide turnkey OEM/ODM engineering including AC 100V 50/60Hz specialized dimmable drivers (PWM, DALI-2, 0-10V, TRIAC), low-harmonic distortion filtering, and JIS C 8105 structural safety certifications.
Commercial venues in Ginza, Omotesando, and Kyoto demand flawless color rendition. Our Japanese-spec COB linear strips and custom fixtures offer color spectrum matching (Ra > 95, R9 > 90) with MacAdam 2-Step binning to eliminate color shifting across long continuous runs.
A detailed technical matrix demonstrating why top-tier Japanese lighting distributors, interior designers, and hotel developers trust our custom OEM manufacturing capabilities.

Tailored engineering for Japan’s distinct commercial, hospitality, and modular residential spaces.
Japanese luxury hospitality spaces require subtle, anti-glare ambient lighting. Our IP65/IP68 waterproof COB linear strips and custom IP44 vanity wall sconces are widely deployed in modern *Ryokans* and urban boutique hotels across Kyoto and Hakone. Moisture-resistant silicone extrusions ensure decades of maintenance-free operation in high-humidity bath environments.
In premium retail districts, accurate color rendering drives merchandise appeal. Our ultra-high CRI (Ra 98) linear profile lights provide glare-free, dotless illumination (UGR < 19) for luxury fashion displays, jewelry counters, and flagship stores. Seamless connector systems allow continuous run lengths up to 20 meters with single-end power feeding.
Tokyo’s compact residential developments require space-saving recessed lighting profiles that fit into shallow ceiling drops. Our slim 8mm recessed aluminum linear channels slide directly between standard Japanese ceiling furring channels, providing indirect ceiling cove lighting (*Kanketsu Shomei*) without sacrificing ceiling height.
Established in 1987, AF Lighting has grown into a world-class decorative and linear lighting OEM/ODM exporter serving trade buyers globally.
We offer comprehensive OEM tooling services for bespoke aluminum profiles, optic lenses (15°, 30°, 60°, 90°, Asymmetric), and magnetic mounting accessories. Send us your CAD or BIM drawings, and our engineering team will produce prototypes within 7 to 10 days.
Every linear luminaire undergoes 100% aging testing, integrating sphere photometric calibration, high-voltage insulation tests, and thermal imaging checks before packing. Our quality management system conforms to ISO9001 standards, keeping defect rates below 0.05%.
We provide full DDP / FOB shipping services direct to major Japanese ports (Yokohama, Tokyo, Kobe, Nagoya, Osaka). Complete export documentation, custom Japanese packaging labeling, barcode compliance, and METI importer filing assistance are guaranteed.
Everything you need to know about custom OEM linear lighting orders, safety standards, and logistics for Japan.
We supply PSE-certified internal/external LED drivers manufactured specifically for AC 100V (50Hz / 60Hz) operation. Our luminaire assemblies undergo electrical strength, creepage distance, and temperature rise tests in according with METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) technical guidelines and JIS C 8105 standards. We supply full test report documentation for your METI importer registration.
Yes. We offer millimeter-precise factory cutting services for both aluminum profiles and LED strips (cuttable every 2.5cm or 5cm depending on voltage/chip configuration). Customized continuous connector kits and pre-wired IP67 quick-connectors are included to streamline jobsite installation in Tokyo and Osaka projects.
Our drivers integrate seamlessly with popular Japanese dimming systems including Panasonic LUTRON-compatible Phase-Cut (TRIAC) dimmers, 0-10V / 1-10V analog controllers, and DALI-2 / DMX512 digital protocols for advanced smart building automation and tunable white (2700K to 6500K) control.
For customized aluminum profiles and linear LED strip assemblies, our typical OEM MOQ starts at 100 meters per profile type. Rapid prototyping samples can be produced, quality checked, and delivered to Japan via express air freight (DHL/FedEx) within 5 to 7 business days.
We utilize high-density Chip-on-Board (COB) technology (up to 528 LEDs/meter) paired with high-transmittance Opal Polycarbonate (PC) diffusers. This guarantees continuous, 100% dot-free line-of-light appearance even in shallow extrusion channels with depths as small as 6mm.
Yes. Our packaging department provides customized master cartons, inner boxes, custom Japanese installation manuals, JAN/EAN barcode printing, and private label branding to ensure seamless retail or jobsite delivery in Japan.
