LED Lights Manufacturer
| Guangqi Lighting
Since 2010, a professional LED lighting manufacturer. We have been designing, engineering, and manufacturing commercial & outdoor LED lighting fixtures at our vertically integrated facility located in Guangdong, China. Serving millions of distributors, contractors and project developers in 50+ countries.
Why Lighting Projects Fail — And How the Right LED Manufacturer Prevents It
An LED fixture manufacturer is a manufacturer that designs, engineers and produces LED lighting fixtures intended for commercial, industrial and outdoor application. Choosing the wrong manufacturer can trigger cascading failures across your lighting project — procurement delays, unexpected field failures, and margin erosion that damages your reputation with end clients.
Problem: Inconsistent Quality
Color temperature drift and lumen output variation from batch-to-batch will show up as visual discrepancies on the completed project. Light fixtures from separate batches will not match.
Guangqi’s Approach
In addition to binning verification, every LED light fixture is tested in integrating sphere before shipment. We ensure the color temperature tolerance in 3-step MacAdam ellipse, from sample to productivity batch – thus you specify the same “look” in the photocell for your whole order.
Problem: Delivery Delays
Missed shipping dates delay installation schedules, activate penalty clauses, and put your end-customer relationships under stress.
Guangqi’s Approach
Vertical Integration – From Mold Design to Final Assembly. We do the entire production process internally. There are no outside contributors bottlenecking the process. Our production planning group reports weekly progress with photos.
Problem: Certification Gaps
Fixtures sent to customs with no valid CE or RoHS documentation. IP ratings are indicated, but not verified. Significant risk of costly delays if rejected.
Guangqi’s Approach
All certifications are from approved third party laboratories. Every order ships with the relevant CE, RoHS, IP65, IP66 test reports. We keep current certification files for our products – no expired documentation from previous generations.
Problem: Poor After-Sales Support
When a fixture installed on the job fails 14 months later and the manufacturer either doesn’t respond, or is no longer manufacturing compatible replacements.
Guangqi’s Approach
All orders are kept on file in dedicated project folders. Replacement parts are produced on identical tooling to your original run. Our engineering team offers remote diagnostics and warranty support period into the product life.

Typical Payback Period
1–4 Years
Commercial LED retrofits typically pay for themselves within 1 to 4 years thanks to energy savings of up to 70% and negible maintenance costs. The exact payback period depends on hours of operation, electricity rates, and the technology being replaced – a metal halide-to-LED retrofit in a 12-hour/day warehouse will have a better ROI than a fluorescent-to-LED retrofit in an office.
Source: industry data, U.S. DOE estimates on LED economics.
In addition to the energy-efficient direct performance advantage, replacing legacy fixtures with LED can also avoid the hidden costs that complicate ownership calculations – labor for relamping at scheduled intervals, ballast replacement, disposal costs for mercury-laden fluorescent tubes, and lost productivity due to maintenance shutdowns.
Referring to the assumed LED rated lifetime of 50,000 hours, the file .svg translates that into about 11 years of running at 12 hours/day – in that span, an incumbent metal halide installation would need to replace bulbs two or three times. When surfaced with a retrofit, such facility managers and contractors are consistently better off with LED across the board on various cost lines. Payback is generally provided by energy savings alone in the range of 60 to 80 percent.

Pricing Factors
Pricing for LED lighting varies depending on a number of defining factors; fixture wattage rating, choice of LED chip, metal housing construction (aluminum die casting versus extrusion profile), optical design (standard design or custom technology), order volume, and the certification specifications of the intended marketplace.
Market-specific fixtures with high wattage rating, custom optical systems, and multi-market certifications generally have different unit economics compared to mid-range specification, volume application models.
We will provide you with a detailed quote for your specific project before comparing cost points. There is an inherent efficiency difference in our state-of-the-art manufacturing that will deliver the best value.
Lead Time Factors
Standard catalog products with pre-existing tooling are shipped on shorter lead-times as compared to OEM/ODM programs that are new mold-built. The order quantities, certification testing plans (mostly for the local lab verification if applicable), and seasonal demand will also factor in the production schedule.
The Guangqi production planning department offers a detailed schedule at quoting time.

Frequently Asked Questions
About LED Lighting Manufacturing
[Q.01]
Who manufactures Guangqi LED lights?
All lightweight Guangqi LED lights are produced by the Zhongshan guangqi Lighting Co. Ltd at our design plant in Guzhen, Zhongshan city, Guandong Province, China. Guzhen is known as the Lighting Capital of China, providing us with an established LED component supply infrastructure. We have full control of the manufacturing process from the die-cast moulds and optical engineering to final assembly and testing.
[Q.02]
What certifications do Guangqi LED lights carry?
All Guangqi LED fixtures are CE (European Conformity) marked, RoHS (Component) marked (EU Directive 2011/65/EU), IP65 and IP66 ingress protection. IEC 60529 confirmed. CerQG LED fixtures adhere to a quality management system Beighit certified by Gobp Sayab. Price documentation comes from independent third-party testing labs and is included with every order.
[Q.03]
How do I choose the right LED lighting manufacturer?
Assess five things: 1. Vertical integration – does the manufacturer own the molds, do their in-house optical engineers do the design? 2. Certification expertise – are the test reports up to date and from accredited labs? 3. Production capacity – can the lamp be reproduced from sample to large batch without drift? 4. Project references – do they have documented installations for the application? 5. After sales – can they still provide warranty support and spare parts years after delivery?
[Q.04]
What is the MOQ for custom LED orders?
MOQ varies by program type. OEM’s (existing molds, customized to your branding) have lower minimums than larger 3rd party ODM programs that may involve new tool creation. Product type, marketplace or fitment category has an impact as well (smaller fixtures like garden lights will have different economics than something like a high wattage flood light). Please check with our sales team for a specific MOQ quote.
[Q.05]
How long do commercial LED lights last?
Good commercial LED fixtures are rated for a 50,000+ hours of use (using the L70 standard, or the lumen deterioration at which the lumens first fall to 70% of an initial benchmark value, usually at the initial manufacturing point). Averaging 12 hours a day (over 11 years). At 8 hours a day (Almost 17 years), whereas a comparable metal halide or fluorescent bulb would need to be replaced every 2-4 years with same use!
[Q.06]
LED vs traditional lighting: which saves more money?
LED saves more in all of the categories measured. The comparison matrix above records the numbers: LED fixtures are in the range of 100-200 lm/W efficiency as compared to 50-140 lm/W efficiencies with the legacy technologies. The energy performance translates into 40-70% less electrical costs depending on the technology replaced. When added with no relamping labor, and ballast replacement and mercury handling no longer need to be paid for with fluorescent tubes, the overall financial payback for LED improves even further. Most business retrofit applications are recovered in 1-4 years.
[Q.07]
Does Guangqi provide OEM and ODM services?
Yes. OEM programs use Guangqi existing fixture design and tooling using your custom artwork, branding, box and market-specific electrical configuration. ODM programs are designed from your product specification – our engineering team develops new mold tooling, optical design, and driver configuration from scratch. Both programs include sample approval steps before large-scale production.
[Q.08]
What is the typical lead time for LED orders?
Lead time depends on three major considerations: (1) standard versus custom product – catalog items using existing tooling have a shorter lead time than new ODM programs involving mold development; (2) target order quantity – the higher the quantity the more time is required for production; (3) approval of electrical certification – if your target market requires further testing beyond CE/RoHS, getting lab appointed adds lead time. We provide a detailed production schedule with milestone dates at quotation.
The Team Behind These Solutions
Guangqi Lighting has been based in Guzhen since 2010, developing a core technical competency based on optical design for outdoor and commercial applications. Our R&D team specializes in two technical areas that many manufacturers overlook: thermal management simulation (predicting real-world LED junction temperatures to maximize reliability and lumen output) and IP-rated housing design (planning heat flow so as not to affect the surface rating). These engineering methods are the technical core that ensures performance at 5 years remains the same as at 1 year.
