Shining a light on outdoor living
Both the urban and the suburban landscapes have changed. Homeowners are now spending more time outdoors in leisure pursuits and especially home entertaining. The demand for outdoor lighting, including street lighting, has escalated with lifestyle changes and the Outdoor Lighting Zone meets the need.

Buyers' quotes

「The show is very big, interesting and concentrated. You will find suppliers from Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and all over the world. I've already made two full containers of orders for ceiling lamps and energy-saving items with two new suppliers. The organiser has made continuous improvements with a larger number of exhibitors and the opening of new halls. It's good for meeting and doing business as well as learning the new market trends.」
