Hear What the Judge Says “The entries this year have showcased a rich variety of design concepts in very high standards. Designers drew inspirations from everyday life issues such as children’s playthings, bookshelves and traditional Chinese lanterns. It’s great to see so many innovative ideas. The winning design of the Open Group is especially impressive as it can serve as an attractive lighting for homes, hotels or commercial businesses. There’s also a high standard of creativity among the entries of the Student Group. Some contestants have incorporated interesting DIY and assembling features to enhance the appeal of their works. This competition can really stimulate ideas and encourage local talents to create something special.” Ada Fung, JP, Immediate Past President, The Hong Kong Institute of Architects

Hear What Exhibitors Say
“TCL started to produce LED lighting products in 2002. Currently, we focus on the development and production of LED bulbs, LED panels and LED tubes. Since TCL is an internationally renowned brand, many new buyers from Europe, the Middle East, North and South America, and Southeast Asia have come to our booth at the Spring Lighting Fair. Several buyers from leading companies in the Middle East and South America have already indicated their intention to be our distributors, and we’ll have further discussions with them later. The fair also offers us a great opportunity to learn more about market needs. For instance, our existing customers from North America shared with us their requirements in terms of product appearance, structure and technology.” Anita Chen, Sales Supervisor, Huizhou TCL Lighting Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd, Chinese mainland
“LEDEL is one of the leading manufacturers of LED lighting fixtures, luminaries, street lights, industrial lighting, commercial lighting and office lighting in Russia. Our products are exported to CIS countries, Eastern Europe, Japan, Korea, North Africa and South Africa. This is our first-time participation in the Spring Lighting Fair. It is an important fair that provides a valuable opportunity for us to look for new business partners, see the lighting trends in the Asian market and exchange ideas with industry players. At the fair, we have met with our existing business partners from Japan and Korea so as to know more about their feedback and requirements. In addition, we have found several potential business partners from Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East.” Renat Yusupov, Regional Manager, LEDEL, Russia
Hear What Buyers Say
“We operate 15 stores in Russia, selling lighting products, houseware, home textiles and DIY products. Most of our lighting products are imported from the Chinese mainland. One of my colleagues has visited the Spring Lighting Fair before, but this is my first time attending the fair. I am particularly looking for ceiling lights, chandeliers, pendant lights and LED bulbs. I have identified about 2-3 potential suppliers from the Chinese mainland. The Spring Lighting Fair is a good show where I can find quality products at competitive prices.” Natalia Shagina, Buyer, JSC “Start Management Company”, Russia
“Wipro is the second largest supplier of office lighting in India. We provide office lighting, commercial lighting, industrial lighting and street lighting for a wide range of projects in India, such as the Metro Transport System, commercial buildings and factories. This is my first-time visit to the Spring Lighting Fair. I heard from my colleagues that this year’s fair is bigger than last year’s. I have already shortlisted 3-4 potential suppliers from the Chinese mainland. Colleagues from our Shenzhen office will join me on the third and fourth days of the fair to finalise our orders. Apart from sourcing quality products, I am happy to see that the HKTDC organises the Hong Kong Lighting Design Competition which helps to nurture design talents. I’ll come back next year.” Rajesh Sangewar, Head – Product Design, Wipro Consumer Care & Lighting, India
