Flame Effect Lamp MCU Solution & PCBA Customization

SOLUTION DEFINITIONA flame lamp solution uses MCU-based randomized PWM algorithms driving bi-color LEDs to reproduce realistic flickering flame, widely used in electronic candles, fireplace inserts, outdoor torches and ambient lighting. MJX’s production-proven platform supports remote control, app and solar variants.

Pain Points We Solve

  • Me-too flame lamps flood Amazon — hard to differentiate without a better effect engine
  • Flame realism is the core moat: poor flicker algorithms look fake instantly
  • Outdoor versions demand waterproofing, ultra-low standby and lumen maintenance
  • Slow vendors mean missing the entire season window

Key Features

Realistic Flame EngineRandomized PWM + multi-layer dimming, no visible flicker to the naked eye
4 Effect ModesCandle / bonfire / fireplace / breathing, switchable by remote or button
Ultra-low Standby<10μA standby, 200+ hrs battery life; solar version runs 3 rainy days
Timer & Remote2.4G/IR remote, 6/18h timers, optional BLE app dimming
Low-voltage SafetyDC 5V / 3.7V supply, no flame no heat — kid & pet safe, easy to certify
String-light SyncMulti-lamp cascade protocol for torch and festive string products

FAQ

How much does flame lamp solution development cost?
Light customization on our mature platform (housing/parameters) typically runs USD 1,200–4,500; deep customization with app USD 4,500–12,000. Off-the-shelf PCBA is quoted by volume tiers, from ~USD 0.9–2.2/pc at 500 pcs depending on configuration.
Can we just buy ready-made flame light PCBA?
Yes. Standard flame controller boards (candle/outdoor versions) are in stock, with your logo silkscreen supported.
Can you match the effect to our reference sample?
Yes. Send a sample or video; we tune flicker frequency, brightness layers and CCT into a parameter release, then freeze firmware upon your approval.
Who owns the IP?
Light customization includes usage license; buyout deals transfer schematic, PCB and firmware source in full, per contract.
What about certifications?
Our CE/FCC/RoHS template designs shorten your path; independent certificates supported via partner labs in ~3–4 weeks.
What’s the lead time?
Light custom: prototypes in 2–3 weeks, pilot in 4–6. Start 60 days before peak season.
