 “We are an official distributor of leading lighting brands for the UAE and Qatar. It is our first visit to the Hong Kong fair. Since we are planning to launch our own brand at the end of this year, we are on the lookout for LED parts, downlights, lighting panels, strip lights for outdoor and indoor applications, and landscape lighting. Branding is very important in our market because it can differentiate our business from the competition, add value to our products and increase our profit margin. For branded products, design and quality are essential. At this fair, we have found good products for our brand, but we’ll visit the suppliers and their factories to check the quality of products before finalising our order. Our initial order is around US$500,000.”
Gopinath Thayyil, Senior Sales Manager - UAE & Qatar, Lamps & Lighting Components, Haji Commercial Company, UAE
 “Based in the US, Flexfire LEDs operates an online store that sells LED lights and strip lights with high brightness for commercial, industrial and residential uses. I source from mainland suppliers which produce LED lights based on our own designs. I am visiting the Hong Kong fair for the first time to meet face-to-face with my existing suppliers and to look for new suppliers and new ideas. I’ll purchase LED bulb samples from three to four potential suppliers. Meanwhile, I am planning to start a new business. I like the Small-Order Zone at this fair because it gives me a lot of new product ideas and I can place small orders for a variety of products to test the market.”
Brenton Mauriello, CEO, Flexfire LEDs, Inc, the US
 “Maxray is a Japanese manufacturer of decorative lighting and technical lighting for commercial applications. Our products are sold in Japan, Hong Kong, Korea and Singapore. We visit the Hong Kong fair every year to look for new products. As it is a good show, our company started to join the Autumn Lighting Fair as an exhibitor since last October. We have come to this year’s Spring Lighting Fair as buyers. We are particularly looking for new suppliers of LED drivers, spotlights and downlights. This fair is getting better and better. More importantly, it provides a good chance for us to get new information and to find new items. We have found two potential suppliers here. We’ll place sample orders first to test the quality because quality is always very important.”
Masahiro Inoue, Director, International Division, Maxray Inc., Japan
 “Forward Light is an importer and wholesaler of LED lights. Headquartered in Russia, we have a branch office in Latvia to serve European clients. Usually, we purchase LED lights from Guangdong Province and Shenzhen of the Chinese mainland. It is my first time visiting this fair. I am particularly interested in LED bulbs for indoor use. I have identified three potential suppliers from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. I have requested them to send me more details such as minimum order requirement, quotations and payment terms. The Hong Kong fair is a very good show. As our lighting business is expanding, the potential suppliers I have found at this fair will be very useful.”
Ruben Nariyants, General Manager, Forward Light Ltd, Russia

 “As an LED lighting specialist, Lucibel offers innovative solutions for shops, schools, offices and hospitals. Headquartered in France, we have 10 branch offices all over the world. We have been an exhibitor at the Hong Kong International Lighting Fair twice a year since the establishment of our Hong Kong office in 2009. The Hong Kong fair is an important show for us to develop our business in the Asia-Pacific region. We are showcasing Procédés Hallier museum lighting at the Hong Kong fair for the first time, arousing lots of interest from buyers. We are happy with the results because we have met with more than 200 quality buyers. So far, we have received three orders from Australia, Indonesia and Singapore. We’ll definitely return next year.”
Charles D'haussy, Asia & OEM Sales Vice President, Lucibel Asia Limited, Hong Kong
 “Established in 1987, our company offers both traditional and LED bulbs and lighting fixtures. In 2008, we launched our Dancelight brand, which has become a leading LED lighting brand in Taiwan. Our products are sold through more than 2,500 retailers in Taiwan and also exported to more than 20 countries and regions. We have participated at the Spring Lighting Fair for the first time to look for distributors. It’s a very good show with heavy traffic. We have talked to a lot of customers from emerging markets such as Eastern Europe, Indonesia and the Philippines. About five to six buyers are likely to become our distributors. We are satisfied with the results so far.”
Chenwei Huang, Director, International Division, Jan Cheng Lighting Co., Ltd., Taiwan
 “We make use of 100-per cent natural materials to produce decorative lighting for commercial and household applications, with Europe, Japan and the US our major markets. Since our first-time participation at last year’s Spring Lighting Fair was a big success, we have returned this year to find customers who are interested in our decorative lighting. So far, we have met with many new buyers including those from Asia, Europe and the UAE. New buyers are likely to place orders with us after the fair because our products are natural and unique. We like the Hong Kong fair as it is a truly international show attended by a lot of overseas buyers. We have already booked a booth at the Autumn Lighting Fair.”
Komkrit Mekiyanon, Managing Director, EVE Lighting Co., Ltd., Thailand
