How to find good lighting suppliers from the 2016 Canton Fair and establish good relationship?

Normally, most of the LED suppliers in Canton Fair are big factories/trading companies with big MOQ.

Asking information about the price, MOQ, lead time, warranty time, certificate(CE, ROHS, FCC, UL) would help a lot in judging the abilities of the supplier, especially suppliers who can provide UL certificate if quality is your first priority.

Be careful of LED suppliers who show you fake certificates or tell you they have the certificates while they don’t have anything related to it.

Generally speaking, lighting suppliers in Shenzhen are the best option in terms of quality. As to lighting suppliers in Zhongshan, some are big factories with very good quality but there are also some small lighting sellers from Guzhen town offering poor quality ones at much lower rate. The same with lighting suppliers from Zhejiang province.

Chat with the sales, exchange business cards, and take photos of the products you are interested in with the name card will help you remember it after going back.

For products you are interested in, it is suggested to try some samples or place a small trial order. Step by step will make your purchase safer.
