Rechargeable LED Modules for Acrylic Table Lamps: From Housing Design to Production

Design around the agreed light engine

Check the module before committing the housing to tooling.

The customer's task was not replacing a failed light in an existing piece of furniture. They were developing their own acrylic table lamp and preparing its housing mold. The module therefore became an input to the housing design: the enclosure had to accommodate the selected light engine and its connection arrangement.

The useful question was not simply “What diameter is the module?” It was “How will this assembly sit inside our product, and how will it be installed, connected and accessed?” The mounting area, available height and cable route needed to be considered together rather than checked after the housing design was fixed.

For a new lamp, also test how the selected source illuminates the actual acrylic structure. A mechanical fit does not, by itself, confirm the finished lighting effect. This case documents the module development and delivered order; the photographs below show the module and shipment, not a completed customer lamp.

Verify the assembly, not just the part

A 0.5 m lead brought the connection into the housing plan.

The sample configuration included a 0.5 m connection lead with a DC socket arrangement. The real product photographs also show the cable connection detail. These features were part of the assembly the customer needed to evaluate, not accessories to decide independently after approving the module.

When reviewing a similar lamp design, identify where the socket will sit, how the lead will pass through the housing and whether the connection remains accessible during assembly and charging. The exact connector, polarity and charging arrangement must match the approved configuration; cable length alone does not define electrical compatibility.

For broader mechanical selection, use the LED module buying guide. This project focuses on moving a customer's housing design through sample approval and into production, rather than repeating that general measurement checklist.

An illustration of the review process

Measurement photographs support a drawing review; they do not replace it.

The separate reference photographs below show three different measurements on a Vcan dome-style module: complete outer diameter, raised-cover diameter and overall height. They explain why one nominal size cannot define the whole installation envelope.

Reference example, not this order's engineering dimensions. These are original measurement photographs of a separate module. They are not a mold-ready drawing of the delivered product. In particular, the measured cover diameter must not be copied directly as the housing opening size. Confirm the selected part's drawing, mounting references, fit allowance and production tolerances before tooling.

From evaluated samples to production

Keep one module configuration while distinguishing the charger plugs.

After testing the samples and visiting Vcan's factory, the customer confirmed that production could proceed and sent the deposit confirmation. The production instructions then identified the accessories, documents and packing information needed for shipment.

The EU and UK labels distinguished charger-plug versions, not two different LED module designs. Keeping this distinction clear lets a buyer specify the correct accessory and packaging without unnecessarily changing the approved light-engine configuration.

Vcan provided the CE and RoHS reports requested for this order before shipment. This is a project-specific documentation fact, not a claim that the customer's complete acrylic lamp—or every future module variant—was certified by those reports. Documentation for a new configuration should be agreed during the quality and compliance review.

Complete the order as agreed

White-box labels and carton markings were part of the handover.

The customer requested a product name and internal item code on each white box, with separate labels for the EU- and UK-plug versions. They also supplied the outer-carton markings. These requirements were followed alongside the product configuration and pre-shipment reports.

The order was completed and shipped. The customer's reply, Well received, confirmed receipt of the goods. It should be read as delivery confirmation, not an independent test report on the finished lamp's lighting, runtime or performance.

Apply the sequence to your own lamp

Agree the light engine before approving the production package.

1. Define the lamp and housing: provide its intended structure, installation space and proposed module position before finalizing tooling.
2. Approve the physical sample: check mounting, cable routing, charging access and lighting inside the intended assembly.
3. Freeze the agreed configuration: confirm the module, lead, connector, charger and required functions.
4. Identify accessory versions: specify EU, UK or other required plugs and keep the labels consistent with the approved packing list.
5. Complete the shipment requirements: agree reports, individual-box labels and carton markings before dispatch.

This case shows a development-to-delivery sequence around an existing rechargeable module. It does not establish that any dome module can be installed unchanged in every acrylic lamp. For your design, compare the rechargeable LED module range or discuss an OEM lighting configuration.
