Do you have any questions?
What should you pay attention to when going to Guzhen to inspect the lighting market?
- It’s best to go with someone familiar with the area as transportation in Guzhen is not very well-developed.
- Be cautious of extremely low-priced products. Remember, you get what you pay for. Overstating wattage has become an industry norm. Lighting fixtures made with insufficient copper content can lead to inconsistent processing quality, reduced product warranties, and issues like pitting, black spots, corrosion, and copper cracking in the long run.
- Always visit the factories in person. Since Zhongshan has many manufacturers and storefronts, if you want competitive prices, you need to go to the source.
- Pay attention to product consistency.
- Competition in the Guzhen lighting industry is intense, and some unscrupulous businesses may do something you can not imgine to survive. So, don’t blindly pursue low prices.
