Custom LED Lighting Solutions & Bespoke Assembly

Penn Elcom's dedicated LED lighting team designs, assembles and supplies custom LED lighting solutions for projects of every scale, from a single room installation to a complex, multi-zone architectural scheme spanning thousands of individual components.

Based at our specialist workshop in Hastings, UK, our LED team works directly with electricians, lighting designers, architects, joinery contractors and installers to deliver complete bespoke lighting packages that are engineered to your exact specification and arrive on site ready to install — no additional cutting, wiring or guesswork required. Our global distribution network allows for custom LED projects to be shipped worldwide.

Whether you are lighting a listed heritage building, a contemporary hotel interior, a retail environment, a residential project or a large-scale public space, Penn Elcom has the expertise, the products and the assembly capability to deliver a professional result, on time and to budget.

Our Custom LED Lighting Assembly Service

We go beyond simply supplying LED components. Our in-house assembly service means that every element of your lighting scheme can be prepared, tested and kitted before it ever reaches your site. This significantly reduces installation time, minimizes waste and ensures a consistent, professional finish throughout.

Our custom LED assembly service includes:

  • Bespoke cutting of LED tape and aluminum extrusion profiles to your exact dimensions
  • Pre-wiring and termination of all LED runs, ready for direct connection on site
  • Custom labeling of every unit for fast, error-free installation by your electrician or installer
  • Supply of LED drivers and lighting control components- including drivers and dimmers for DALI, Casambi, 1-10V, mains dimming, DMX and switched protocols 
  • Full pre-shipment testing of all assembled components before leaving our workshop
  • Complete installation kits delivered in one shipment: tape, profiles, drivers, connectors and accessories
  • Specification support from our LED specialists from initial brief through to final component selection

Key benefit: 'Ready to Install' delivery

Every custom LED order we assemble is delivered pre-cut, pre-wired and labeled so that your installation team can work efficiently without modification on site. This approach was central to the success of our Lanier Theological Library project, where over 1,000 individual bespoke LED units were delivered ready to install, enabling the joinery and electrical teams to complete the build on schedule.

Featured Project Spotlights

Our LED team has delivered bespoke custom lighting solutions for a diverse range of projects. Here are some recent highlights:

Penn Elcom designed and supplied a comprehensive custom LED lighting system for the prestigious Lanier Theological Library — a world-class theological resource housed within a beautifully restored 17th-century tithe barn at the historic Yarnton Manor in Oxford, UK.

The ancient barn's architectural heritage demanded a highly specialised lighting approach: one that preserved the building's historical integrity while delivering optimal illumination for a working library. Working closely with the project's lead electrician and joinery contractor, our team designed a tailored LED system integrated into the library's extensive custom shelving.

To meet the installation's exacting requirements, we assembled over 1,000 bespoke lengths of premium LED tape and aluminum extrusion - every single unit pre-cut, pre-wired, individually labeled and delivered 'ready to install'. This streamlined the on-site workflow for both the joinery and electrical teams, allowing the build to be completed without delays or modifications on site.
