Product sourcing

Sourcing Lighting Products from China

Lighting projects require careful attention to electrical components, heat, materials, plug and voltage requirements, labeling, testing, and packaging.

Define the electrical product

Record voltage, frequency, plug, wattage, light source, color temperature, dimming, cable, materials, dimensions, and target market. Small changes can affect testing and use.

Supplier and sample work

Confirm component sources, test procedures, replacement parts, production records, and whether the sample reflects the final bill of materials.

Do not assume compliance

Electrical and lighting requirements vary by destination and product. Obtain current guidance from qualified testing and compliance professionals before sale.

Before you begin

Start with the intended use, target buyer, materials, dimensions, expected quantity, packaging, destination market, and any existing reference sample.

A useful decision checklist

  1. What information should a lighting RFQ include?
  2. How should LED samples be tested?
  3. What packaging protects glass and fixtures?
