“We were the first company in India to manufacture LED lamps. We are now diversifying into end products, so I am here to find suppliers of fixtures, mainly of LED street lighting products. The market for energy-saving lighting in India is huge, especially with the rural electrification project. This fair is very good and I have found plenty of interesting suppliers. It’s been very useful to come here – I will definitely be back.”
Vijayendra P. Bhat, Managing Director, Southern Optoelectronic Devices Pvt. Ltd., India
“My company is a Moscow-based wholesaler trading in lighting products and electronics for big retailers as well as industrial enterprises and construction sites. I’m here for the first time to look for new products and developments in the industry. It is a very diversified show with lots to see, especially for interior lighting. It’s very professionally organised and I’m satisfied with the services.”
Olga Ivanova, Purchasing Director, Unisvet Ltd., Russia

“In the past five years, Searchlight has expanded its customer base into 25 countries, with an emphasis on Eastern Europe. This is our first time here, as it is an opportunity to grow internationally. This event is the window of the world, where we can make contact with distributors from all over, but especially the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Australasia and Africa, and see where new opportunities exist for us.”
Morris Hamburger, Sales Director, Searchlight Electric Limited, UK
“Neo-Neon, which is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, was founded in Taiwan in 1978. Our founder was one of the first in Asia to see the future of LED as a replacement to traditional lighting sources. We’ve been exhibiting at this fair for many years – it is recognised as one of the top two in the world for international business. This week we’ve seen a lot of interest in high-powered LED for general commercial illumination, especially as various countries particularly in Europe are banning incandescent lighting.”
Jim Hardaway, VP of Sales & Marketing of America Team, Neo-Neon Enterprises Limited, Hong Kong
“This is our first time at this fair – we are leveraging on the LED technology we use in televisions to produce flat-panel LED lighting. This exhibition is famous and attracts buyers from all over the world. By exhibiting here we can let the market know that AUO now manufactures LED lighting, plus we can understand more about the lighting market and make lots of contacts in the industry.”
TY Chen, Senior Manager, Marketing & Sales, Lextar Electronics Corp., AUO Group, Taiwan
