About CRANE
About CRANE Lighting
Architectural Lighting.
Built for Real Projects.
Established in 2009, CRANE develops and manufactures architectural and outdoor LED lighting products for building facades, bridges, landscapes and urban landmark applications.
Our capabilities combine product R&D, manufacturing, optical development, lighting control support and project-specific technical coordination to help customers select and configure luminaires for real architectural lighting requirements.
Who We Are
Focused on Architectural & Outdoor Lighting
CRANE is an LED lighting manufacturer focused on architectural facade and outdoor nightscape applications. Our product range includes wall washer lights, linear lights, pixel lights, flood lights and other architectural luminaires for buildings, bridges, landscapes and landmark structures.
Based in Zhongshan, Guangdong, our production and technical teams work across product development, manufacturing, optical configuration and lighting control support for project-specific applications.
Instead of treating every project as a standard product order, we focus on matching luminaire type, optical performance, control requirements and installation conditions to the actual application.

Our Capabilities
From Product Development to Project-Specific Lighting Support
Architectural lighting projects require more than selecting a standard luminaire. Product design, optics, mounting, control requirements and environmental conditions all influence the final product configuration.
Optical & Lighting Development
Optical configuration and product development focused on beam distribution, color performance, glare control and application-specific lighting effects.
Lighting Control Support
Support for RGB, RGBW, DMX512 and programmable architectural lighting requirements, including product configuration and compatible control coordination.
OEM & ODM Customization
Product customization for project requirements, including luminaire configuration, optics, mounting details, finishes and selected control specifications.
Manufacturing & R&D
Built Around Product Development and Manufacturing Control
CRANE's manufacturing base in Zhongshan supports the production of architectural and outdoor LED lighting products through structured assembly, testing and inspection processes.
Manufacturing capabilities include SMT and lead-free reflow processes, supported by LED testing equipment and product inspection procedures. Quality checks are applied from incoming materials through production and finished-product verification.
Product development focuses on optical performance, thermal management, outdoor protection, structural design and control compatibility for architectural lighting applications.
Testing & Reliability
Built to Perform Outdoors.
Tested to Prove It.
Outdoor architectural lighting is exposed to water, heat, cold, corrosion, UV radiation and long operating hours. CRANE uses product testing and verification processes to evaluate lighting performance, environmental resistance and long-term reliability before products move into project applications.
