Senfey Lighting Technology production facility, Shenzhen

Home  /  About us

Shenzhen & Zhongshan, China

A strip factory that learned to engineer whole systems

Senfey Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. started in 2012 making SMD strip for wholesale. Project clients kept asking us to solve the parts around the strip — drivers, profiles, control — so we built the engineering team to do it. Today over 40% of our staff work in technical roles.

Global Customer Engagement

We Fly to Our Customers, Not Just Trade Shows

Our management team travels to Europe every year to sit down with distributors, contractors and brand owners — reviewing project pipelines, specification changes and compliance requirements face to face, on their site.

Annual on-site visits across Europe

Direct visits and face-to-face meetings with lighting distributors, contractors and brand owners — not phone calls from Shenzhen.

Built for European documentation standards

We track what each market expects on reliability, colour consistency, packaging, labelling, declarations of conformity and long-term supply stability.

Customer feedback drives the product roadmap

Requests from European projects have shaped our CCT range, CRI targets, private-label packaging and the zone-labelling delivery service.

We listen, improve, and manufacture based on real market feedback. Staying close to European and international customers is what lets us supply LED strip systems built around how projects actually get installed — not just catalogue products.

Who we are

Engineering capability, not just manufacturing

We run a production facility in Shenzhen with six automated SMT lines and an in-house R&D centre, plus an office in Zhongshan for commercial and export support.

The difference is where our work stops. Most strip factories sell a component and leave system integration to the buyer. We configure the full assembly — strip, profile, power supply, controller and accessories — then power-test it together before it ships.

“Our team includes lighting designers, electrical engineers and project managers. We speak the language of contractors and specifiers — drawings, photometrics, control protocols and site constraints.”

Our team

Engineering-first structure

Typical LED factories are sales-driven, so technical questions get relayed second-hand. Here, 23 of our staff sit in technical roles and you talk to them directly.

6 Lighting Engineers

System design, photometric analysis and per-project configuration.

4 R&D Engineers

New product development, thermal management and optics design.

8 QC Technicians

Incoming material inspection, in-line testing and final audit.

5 Project Managers

One named PM per major project, from order through the warranty period.

Named contacts beat org charts. If you want, we'll put the engineer who will handle your project on the first call — ask for it in your inquiry.

What you get

Built for project work, not box-moving

Six things a contract buyer usually has to chase separately. We treat them as part of the order.

Project quantity support

10,000 m+ monthly capacity. Orders from 1,000 to 100,000 metres with consistent lead times — the small order and the big one come off the same line.

System configuration from your drawings

Send the floor plan. We return exact quantities for strip, power supplies, controllers, profiles and accessories — a bill of materials, not a price list.

Custom engineering specs

Cut lengths to ±1 mm, colour temperature 2200K–6500K, IP20–IP68 and CRI 90+/95+ — specified per zone, not per catalogue page.

Technical documentation

IES/LDT photometric files, wiring diagrams, installation guides and spec sheets ship with every project order — no separate request needed.

Installation support

Video calls with the engineer who configured your order. Every piece labelled with its install location so the site crew isn't guessing.

3-year system warranty

Cover applies to the whole configured system, not individual parts — so nobody argues about whether the driver or the strip failed.
