Flood Light Cradle and Handle Manufacturer Mumbai | LED Lighting Components OEM Supplier Vasai

Process this material at Unit I
Technical Profile
Aero Enterprises Unit I Vasai Phata manufactures flood light cradles and handles for LED flood light, solar flood light, and stadium lighting OEMs. The cradle is the structural sheet metal component that holds the LED driver module, heat sink assembly, or light engine body within the flood light housing and transmits all mounting load to the outer bracket. At Aero Enterprises, flood light cradles are produced from MS IS 2062 sheet through hydraulic power press stamping, CNC press brake bending with springback compensation, and automated outdoor-grade powder coat finishing with UV-stable polyester top coat. We manufacture for 100W, 150W, 200W, and 400W flood light classes as well as solar flood light and outdoor LED flood light OEM programs. Made to OEM drawing with DFM review before production begins. Minimum order quantity applies. Contact Unit I production desk with your drawing and volume for process route and pricing.

What Is a Flood Light Cradle and Why Sheet Metal Quality Determines LED Performance
A flood light cradle or handle is the internal or external sheet metal structural component in a flood light assembly that performs three simultaneous functions. First, it holds the LED driver, heat sink, or light engine in fixed position within the outer housing, maintaining optical alignment of the LED array relative to the reflector or lens. Second, it acts as a heat conduction path between the LED module and the outer housing, contributing to thermal management of the LED junction temperature. A cradle with poor thermal contact due to incorrect bend geometry or surface condition creates a thermal resistance that reduces LED efficacy and accelerates lumen depreciation. Third, the cradle carries all the mechanical loads transmitted from the mounting bracket through the housing to the internal assembly: dead weight of the driver and optics, vibration from wind and installation, and thermal expansion cycling between day and night operating temperatures. LED flood lights are rated for 50,000 hours of operation. The cradle must survive 50,000 hours of continuous thermal and mechanical cycling without dimensional drift that misaligns the optics or loosens the driver mounting. This is why cradle geometry, sheet thickness, bend radius, and coating system are engineering specifications, not procurement variables.

Why Flood Light Cradle Quality Directly Affects LED Flood Light Performance
A 100W LED flood light generates 8 to 12 watts of waste heat at the junction under continuous operation. The cradle is part of the thermal path between the LED module and the ambient air. A cradle with incorrect bend geometry that creates gaps between the driver module and the cradle surface introduces thermal resistance that raises driver operating temperature. Every 10-degree Celsius rise in driver temperature reduces LED driver lifespan by approximately 50 percent. A flood light rated at 50,000 hours with a thermally compromised cradle may deliver 20,000 to 25,000 hours in field. The OEM's warranty claim rate reflects this directly. At Aero Enterprises, cradle bend geometry is verified on first-off samples against the OEM drawing with specific checks for flat contact surfaces, driver module clearances, and mounting hole pattern accuracy before any batch production is approved. The outdoor powder coat system with UV-stable polyester top coat at 60 to 80 microns DFT is specified because flood light cradles in outdoor installations are subject to UV degradation, thermal cycling, and monsoon humidity. A single-coat powder finish without phosphate pretreatment will delaminate within 18 months on an outdoor LED flood light installation in the Mumbai coastal zone.

Indicative MS sheet weight per running meter for cradle strip blanks: 1.5mm x 100mm strip = 1.18 kg/m, 2.0mm x 100mm strip = 1.57 kg/m, 2.5mm x 100mm strip = 1.96 kg/m, 3.0mm x 100mm strip = 2.36 kg/m. Formula: Weight (kg/m) = Width (m) x Thickness (mm) x 7.85 (MS density factor). Actual cradle component weight depends on developed length and cutout area. Aero Enterprises provides per-piece weight on first-article approval for OEM BOM documentation.
HSN Code and GST for Flood Light Cradles
Flood light cradles and handles manufactured from mild steel sheet are classified under HSN Code 7326 (other articles of iron or steel) for finished fabricated components. Raw MS sheet input is HSN 7209 for CR or HSN 7208 for HR. GST rate on fabricated sheet metal components under HSN 7326 is 18 percent. All commercial invoices from Aero Enterprises Unit I carry GSTIN 27AGCPK5633K1Z9 and HSN 7326 for fabricated flood light cradle components. Confirm HSN classification with your accounts team based on the specific component description on the purchase order.
