China (Guzhen) International Lighting Fair Review
This lighting fair is located in the lighting capitol of China. Guzhen, Zhongshan. Long been a source of local lighting, Zhongshan has grown as one of the centers for International sourcing.
The Guzhen show probably had around 200-300 fixture and portable lighting companies there. They had all styles, from Modern to Traditional, from materials ranging from Glass, Ceramic, Polyresin, Iron, and Crystal. The modern designs were tasteful enough to possibly buy, but the traditional lighting design content looked petty poor.
From my perspective, this show is decent for experienced sourcing companies and people. If your new to China, and/or don’t have time to visit each supplier after the show, don’t place orders… Although there may be a few who really understand your requirements and all right, there are lots of companies here, who I would not feel comfortable working with, until after some good time at their plant.
That said, it seemed to have some good value suppliers, showing nice products at good prices. So, if your living or often working in Southern China, and in the lighting biz, this show is pretty good.
Also not, there are plenty of industrial lighting suppliers here, too. Flourescent bulbs, LED, Saftey, and industrial fixtures…
