“We handle contract lighting projects for customers in the US, Middle East and Asia, as well as importing OEM brands into the US. This show assists us in sourcing materials – the main feature here is the large selection of products. I’m particularly interested in LED lighting and energy-saving products. The fair is well organised: the staff in the Malaysian office are very helpful in particular, and the signage around the fairground is good. I was also impressed with the fast-track immigration channel at Hong Kong International Airport, and the fact that visitors could get the fair admission badge printed out at the hotel.”
Kenneth Yeoh, Executive Director, Richards’s Lighting SDN BHD, Malaysia
“DENI is the largest importer of lighting products in Bulgaria. This is my first visit to this fair – I was invited by the HKTDC. From walking around the halls, I can see that this event deals with the middle- to high-end of the market. I will definitely do business as a result of my visit. For example, I’ve already found some interesting products, such as six-watt LED components.”
Petar Radev, Manager, DENI Lighting, Bulgaria

"This Hong Kong Fair is very well established – and we’ve been exhibiting here since the very beginning. We started off small, but have grown over the years, helped by establishing production in China, so our goal here is to take EGLO to the next stage – to have our presence as a brand name known in many different countries. Among our emphasis this week is energy-saving lighting and innovative outdoor-living lighting."
Ehsan Sivarajah, General Manager - EGLO Asia, EGLO LEUCHTEN GMBH, Austria
"We are a British manufacturer of medium- to high-end, design-driven lighting. We made the decision to come here last year for the first time because this is a global event - we got enquiries from 45 companies and we are now trading with 10 of them as regular customers and are still in discussion with others. Attending this show is part of the process of getting our brand known in the market. The target is to find more international customers and partners for distribution. The cooperation we get from the fair organiser is good – everybody is very efficient and helpful."
Jonathan Lucas, Managing Director, Elstead Lighting Limited, UK
