Custom LED Modules for
Heavy-Duty & Marine Applications

NKT develops custom LED modules for truck, trailer, marine,
and specialty vehicle lighting, with board dimensions, LED
arrangements, and electrical configurations adapted to
OEM product requirements.

Custom LED Modules and Broader OEM Production Support

Heavy-duty and marine OEM projects may involve developing LED modules for new lighting products, updating existing LED designs, or supporting the continued production of established products. NKT works with customers according to their specific project requirements and approved designs.

For certain OEM projects, NKT's involvement extends beyond LED modules. We coordinate plastic and metal components, LED modules where applicable, and final assembly to deliver customer-designed finished products. Our experience includes lighting assemblies as well as other marine products, such as marine horns.

LED Module Solutions for Marine & Specialty Vehicle Lighting

Whether supplied separately or integrated into a customer-designed lighting product, an LED module must meet the project's electrical, optical, and mechanical requirements. NKT supports the module-level work involved, from PCB integration and component selection to prototype checks and production preparation.

PCB Integration

NKT reviews PCB dimensions, mounting points, and connector clearances against customer drawings or samples.

LED Circuits

NKT reviews LED count, series/parallel arrangement, and operating current against agreed electrical and lighting requirements.

BOM Control

NKT follows approved LEDs, connectors, and BOM requirements. Any component change requires customer approval before use.

Module Checks

NKT checks prototype electrical and applicable optical parameters, with electrical and visual checks during production.

FEATURED OEM CASE STUDY

Keeping OEM Lighting in Production

For more than 15 years, NKT has supported a North American OEM lighting customer across marine, truck, trailer, and RV applications.

When the original supplier stopped supporting established products, NKT coordinated tooling and manufacturing resources and updated selected LED boards to help maintain production of customer-designed lighting products.
