Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition is the one week of the year where the whole industry is in one building, and this year's edition was the busiest we have had.
What we showed
The booth was built around the ceiling lamp wall — the indoor, commercial, functional and Emotion ranges shown as they would actually be seen in a room rather than as rows of samples on a shelf. Visitors spent noticeably longer looking up than looking down.
What partners asked for
- Colour consistency between batches. It came up more than price. Buyers who have been burned by a second container not matching the first now ask for the binning data up front.
- Shorter ODM cycles. Several importers are moving from container-buying to co-developed ranges and want the tooling conversation to be transparent.
- Certification paperwork as a deliverable. For European buyers, the test report is now part of the product, not an afterthought.

We are following up with everyone who left a card. If you visited and have not heard from us, please write to info@leestc.com — a message occasionally goes astray in the weeks after a show.
See you in 2027.
