LED bulb boards
Round MCPCBs for bulbs from everyday sizes up, punched on tools already in our library.
Industries › LED lighting
LED lighting boards that run cool and stay bright.
Aluminium MCPCBs, DOBs and emergency bulb boards, punched on ready tools for the sizes the market uses most.

What we make
From a 9 W bulb to a street light.
DOB boards
Driver and LEDs on one board. Ready dies for 82, 112 and 132 mm and many more.
Emergency bulb boards
Rechargeable and inverter bulb boards in 40/46, 60/66 and 62 mm, with tools on the shelf.
Panels and downlights
Round and square boards for slim panels and downlights, white mask for better light output.
Battens and strips
Long, narrow boards V-cut into strips so your line can snap them apart after assembly.
Street and flood lights
Larger aluminium boards where heat management decides the life of the fitting.
What a good lighting board needs.
Heat out of the LED
On an aluminium MCPCB, heat travels through a thin dielectric into the metal base. Keep LED thermal pads large and copper continuous to spread the heat.
White mask for light output
White solder mask reflects light back out of the fitting. Green and black are available when the design calls for them.
Match a ready die
If your board size matches one of our blanking tools, you skip tooling cost and wait. Check the die library
V-cut for strips
Battens and tube boards are V-scored so they stay together on the assembly line and snap apart cleanly after.
LED pad sizes from the datasheet
Use the LED maker's recommended footprint. Undersized pads cause tilted LEDs and dark spots after reflow.
Mains spacing on DOBs
DOBs carry mains voltage next to the LEDs. Keep creepage to your product standard and add slots where space is tight.
Questions about lighting boards.
Do you have a tool for my bulb or DOB size?
Very likely. We hold 21 ready dies for round bulb, emergency bulb and DOB boards. Search them by size on the Ready Dies page, or send your outline and we'll check.
Which mask colour should I use?
White for most LED boards, because it reflects light. Green and black are available.
MCPCB or CEM3 for my product?
MCPCB for anything with high-power LEDs or a closed housing. CEM3 can work for low-power battens and decorative lights. We'll confirm once we see the design.
Can you make DOB boards with the driver on the same board?
Yes. DOB boards carry both the driver components and the LEDs on one single-sided aluminium board.
