 “The winning design of the Open Group has achieved a good balance in terms of functionality and versatility creating desirable lighting performance from different directions. The mobile feature adds to its flexibility to meet varied applications and it can be easily extended into an interesting product line. This year’s contestants have made a great deal of efforts in telling the story behind their design concept. I would like to see them think differently and create something out of ordinary. The entries of the Student Group have presented some good ideas though many of the participating students appeared to have difficulty delivering their works in line with the concepts. Tight budget could be part of the reason. Students must deepen their knowledge about various aspects associated with lighting from the source of light to its effect and overall performance. This design competition marks a start. There are a lot more we can do to stimulate creativity and nurture talents for the industry.”

 “With technology in the lighting industry changing so rapidly, I find it valuable to stay on top of the latest developments by attending the Hong Kong International Lighting Fair twice a year.
The Spring Lighting Fair's focus on Smart lighting – not only as a new zone in Hall 3C, but also as the primary topic in the educational sessions – is highly relevant to my readership of lighting designers and retailers.
I was especially happy with the insights from the expert panelists in the Asian Lighting Forum on the topic of cyber security as this is a growing area of considerable concern regarding "smart" lighting.
 The Spring Lighting Fair's presentation of the Hong Kong Lighting Design Competition Winners features truly creative designs from today's young lighting designers. The 10th edition's new product designs are inspiring in materials and light source ingenuity.
At each edition of the Fair, it is noticeable that more attendees are coming from countries as far away as Africa, Australia, North America and South America. This growth is an indication of the Fair’s increasing importance on a global level.”
Linda Longo, Editorial Director, enLIGHTenment Magazine, the US

 “The 9th Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Spring Edition) continues to be a celebration of light and color, illustrating the dynamic and vibrant development of the lighting industry.
There are several new products and designs that really caught my eye, such as the 3LED bulb exhibited by Hong Kong-based Matrix Holdings Limited that has a wide beam angle and improved heat dissipation performance. Taiwan manufacturer Liquidleds Lighting Corp also debuts its flexible bending LED filaments light bulbs at the show, which are suitable for a wide range of decorative purposes.
The exhibition also attracts a lot of buyers from around the world and the responses from exhibitors have been positive. The fair is indeed an excellent platform for businesses to expand their global reach and test the waters to see if customers like their new products.
The key industry trend – smart lighting – is highlighted through the Asian Lighting Forum and a dedicated Smart Lighting & Solutions zone, with companies presenting related products from simple connected devices to integrated smart lighting system. The main takeaway for me is both small and large companies have put a lot of effort into developing products that are human-centric. The purpose is to really improve people’s quality of life but at the same time achieve energy efficiency. This requires a thorough understanding of what people actually need and more importantly, a smart way of thinking.”

 “With a factory in Zhongshan employing 150 workers, our company provides outdoor and indoor lighting products for various lighting projects such as hotels, shopping malls, casinos and residential projects. Our customers come mainly from Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. We have joined the Spring Lighting Fair for many years. It is an important show for us to promote the strengths of our company to international buyers and to look for new buyers. We have received enquiries from many buyers including those from Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the US. We expect that at least two to three new buyers will buy our products for their projects.”
Mable Fang, Lighting Consultant, Epistar Industrial (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., Hong Kong |
 “Matrix specialises in the production, sales and marketing of LED light bulbs under our Viribright brand. Our major markets include Europe and the US. We have been participating in the Hong Kong International Lighting Fair twice a year since 2009 because it is an important place for us to find new customers and to network with existing customers. Due to keen competition, we need to control our production costs through factory automation and the use of cheaper yet high-quality lighting components. The fair also provides a sourcing platform for us to buy lighting components. At this year’s Spring Lighting Fair, we are promoting a full range of LED products which have a CRI of 90 and a luminous efficacy of 90 lumens per watt. The fair is very well-organised and buyer traffic has been good.”
Eric H.T. Leung, Director, Matrix Lighting Limited (a subsidiary of Matrix Holdings Limited), Hong Kong |
 “In 2012, we launched our maglung brand for home lighting products featuring Nordic minimalism. All of our products are created by a Spanish designer and an Italian designer. We started to join the Autumn Lighting Fair in 2012 and the Spring Lighting Fair in 2013 to promote our brand. We launch 12 new collections in each quarter and the two fairs provide a great place for us to introduce our new collections. The Spring Lighting Fair in particular allows us to have a bigger booth to showcase our products in the best setting. Our attractive product designs have attracted a lot of interest from international buyers. Buyers from Australia, Japan and the US are very interested in our products and will visit our factories after the fair.”

 “Based in the UAE, Bella Nova is a trading company which sells lighting products, furniture and electrical appliances. We supply LED lighting products to wholesalers in GCC countries and Africa. I come here every year to source commercial lighting, household lighting and outdoor lighting as I can find quality suppliers, new designs and good prices here. The HKTDC business matching service is fantastic and I have identified 11 new suppliers through this service. In addition, I have found three more new suppliers on my own. I plan to buy US$50,000-100,000 worth of LED lighting products including smart lighting from these new suppliers. Smart lighting is favoured by the new generation in GCC countries because young people like something new and they can use mobile apps to control lighting effects and achieve home automation.”
Muhammed Noufel, General Manager, Bella Nova Trading FZE, UAE

 “Headquartered in Switzerland, our company sells LED lighting products to Africa, Europe, the Middle East and the US. This is my third time visiting the Spring Lighting Fair to look for household lighting and various lighting products for hotel projects in the US. Up till now, we have found eight potential suppliers of household lighting and two potential suppliers of hotel lighting products from the Chinese mainland and Vietnam. We plan to buy US$500,000 worth of lighting products from these new suppliers. As we urgently need to buy bathroom vanity lights, floor lamps and table lamps for our hotel projects in the US, we’ll confirm our orders with the two hotel lighting suppliers soon.”

 “Urulamp supplies industrial lighting, architectural lighting and street lighting to wholesalers and distributors in Argentina and Uruguay and has two stores in Uruguay selling household lighting. The LED industry is changing fast and the Spring Lighting Fair is the only place where we can see what’s new in the market. It’s important for us to know what our existing suppliers and their competitors can offer. If our existing suppliers can’t follow the trend, we’ll work with new suppliers. The fair brings together a lot of suppliers and a lot of new products. So far, we have found new models of high bay lights, flood lights and street lights, and already identified four to five new suppliers from the Chinese mainland. We’ll buy their products after checking their quality and prices.”
