Lighting Fixture Sheet Metal Fabrication | MJM Manufacturing Miami, FL

Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication for Lighting OEMs & Fixture Manufacturers

MJM Manufacturing provides precision sheet metal fabrication for architectural lighting manufacturers, decorative lighting OEMs, commercial lighting brands, and theatrical and stage lighting fixture companies. We produce lighting housings, reflectors, canopies, mounting arms, fixture bodies, back plates, and structural components for some of the most recognized names in premium European architectural lighting, luxury decorative lighting, and professional stage and theatrical lighting.

Lighting fixture fabrication demands a level of precision, surface quality, and finishing consistency that separates true precision fabricators from general job shops. Tight radius bends on reflector housings, burr-free laser cut edges on visible components, consistent powder coat and anodized finishes, and exacting dimensional repeatability across production runs — these are the standards MJM has delivered to lighting OEM customers for decades from our 44,000 sq ft Miami, Florida facility.

Theatrical & Stage Lighting Fabrication

MJM Manufacturing has specific experience fabricating precision sheet metal components for professional theatrical, broadcast, and live entertainment lighting fixture manufacturers. Stage and theatrical lighting fixtures present unique fabrication challenges — complex geometries for yokes and trunnion mounts, lightweight aluminum bodies that need to be strong enough for rigging loads, precision cutouts for lens rings and gel frames, and durable powder coat finishes that withstand the heat cycles of professional theatrical fixtures.

Our CNC fiber laser cutting produces precision lens cutouts, gel frame slots, and ventilation apertures with clean, burr-free edges. Our press brake forming handles the complex multi-bend geometries of theatrical fixture bodies. Our certified TIG welders join aluminum components with clean, strong welds. And our Haeger hardware insertion presses install yoke hardware, mounting bolts, and fixture hardware with consistent, precise installation.

MJM supports theatrical lighting OEM manufacturers from prototype development of new fixture designs through full production runs — with the discretion and confidentiality that premium lighting brands require.

Materials for Lighting Fabrication

MJM Manufacturing works with the materials most commonly specified in high-quality lighting fixture manufacturing:

• Aluminum (5052, 6061, 3003) — the primary material for lighting fixture housings, reflectors, and components. Lightweight, excellent thermal conductivity for LED applications, easily formed, and accepts anodized and powder coat finishes beautifully. MJM laser cuts aluminum up to 0.625″ and forms it on our Amada press brakes.
• Stainless steel (304, 316) — used for decorative visible components, outdoor architectural fixtures, and hardware requiring maximum corrosion resistance and a premium surface appearance.
• Cold rolled steel (CRS) — cost-effective material for commercial lighting enclosures, junction boxes, and structural components that will be powder coated.
• Galvanized steel — used for outdoor lighting structural components and mounting hardware.
• Copper and brass — specialty decorative and electrical components for premium decorative lighting fixtures.

Surface Finish Capabilities for Lighting

Surface finish is critical in lighting fixture fabrication — visible components on premium architectural and decorative fixtures must be flawless. MJM Manufacturing provides the finishing processes that lighting OEMs require:

• Powder coating — durable, consistent powder coat finishes in any RAL or custom color, coordinated through trusted finishing partners. Matte, satin, and gloss finishes available for both interior and exterior lighting applications.
• Anodizing — aluminum anodizing for architectural lighting components requiring a premium metallic appearance and durable surface protection. Coordinated through certified anodizing partners.
• Sand blasting — surface preparation and matte texture finishing for components requiring a blasted surface appearance before coating.
• Silk screening and laser marking — brand markings, model numbers, safety certifications, and identification markings on finished lighting components.
• Brushed finishes — directional brushed finishes on stainless steel and aluminum components for decorative lighting applications.

Precision Fabrication Capabilities for Lighting
