Have you ever wondered where you can buy wholesale LED lights directly from Chinese factories at affordable rates? In every major city in China, you can easily bunch into markets with shops selling led lights, some are wholesale while some are retail. Though prices might seem good compared to what they’re sold at in your country, the chances are high that they’re just resellers. In this post, we’re going to walk you through the LED manufacturing base in Southern China: Guzhen town of Zhongshan city, Guangdong province.
For no reason I get a little bit attached to the city of Zhongshan: nice people, unpolluted sky, which is rarely seen in large Chinese cities like Guangzhou. However, it might get your nerves on if you are foreigner without any English-speaking Chinese friend by the side coz most of people even the sales representative in the stores don’t speak English or with very limited English skills. Immersing into a different culture can be exhausting and frustrating sometimes, the same with diving into the world of LED lights. If you’re an LED lights trader looking to source lighting products from China, you’re definitely no stranger to finding yourself beset all sides by mind-boggling questions about where to buy LED lights, how to find a trustworthy supplier, what kind of lights to buy, etc.
No worries. 🙂 We have all the answers for you.
Guzhen, a town in Zhongshan city (the birth place of the founding father of modern China – Dr. Sun Yat-Sen), is a manufacturing base for LED lights in Southern China. Have you ever wondered where to buy LED lights and import from China? Just hop on the train from Guangzhou South, within an hour you’ll arrive in the LED capital of Guzhen.

We stopped in the center of Guzhen, and took stroll around the markets selling LED parts, shops on both sides of the road and markets selling lights, led transformer, etc.

How to import wholesale LED lights from Guzhen, China?
Importing LED lights from China is a complicated process with great challenges of language barriers, cultural gap, different custom laws and trust issues. If you’re going to import LED lights from Guzhen, China, here’re a few things to consider before going into the deals.
- MOQ in most shops start from 3-5 pieces per design.
- Make sure the specification of LED lights meet the specification in the destination country.
- If you’re importing LED lights into regions like Europe, US, Australia that have stringent regulations on LED, make sure the lights you’re imported carry certificates as required, i.e., RoSH, CE.
- The nearest ports to Guzhen are either in Guangzhou or Shenzhen. While loading container, there would be extra costs of shipping or hiring truck to load container from Guzhen to the nearest port.
- Check the quality of the chips, drivers and other parts.
- Check the maintenance and warranty policy of the LED lights.
- Ensure the safety of LED tubes and lighting during international shipments.
- Most shops would only provide EXW price, which means they only deliver in the factory in Guzhen and you have to consolidate the container loading, shipping, etc. It’s suggested to hire an export agent to follow up the orders as some shops might even fail to provide invoice or sales contract in English.

Hello Sally and great site you have here! I would like to know if there are Wifi in public places? Can I rent a reliable portable wifi in Guangzhou and how much would it be? I most likely will use it for Wechat, Whatsapp and google maps and translation. Thank you for the help. – John
Hi John, thanks for support. I have no idea about portable WiFi but usually most airports offer rental service. If you stay mostly in the city center of Guangzhou, you can find free wifi very easily in shopping malls, cafes, restaurants, but the connection is just average, only good for wechat. I’m afraid you might have problem with what’s app connection since partly were blocked. Google products are all blocked in China but you can use vpn to access them. I think it is better you try for the first one or two days and see whether the free public wifi is ok or not. If it is too slow for you, you can just go to any China Mobile shops or China Telecom Shops in town and buy a sim card for tourist, do bring your passport with you as it is necessary for buying sim card in China. Good luck.
Where’s more popular for lightings, Yiwu? Or Guangzhou?
Hi Nish, I don’t know much about the lightings in Yiwu. However, as to the lightings in Guangdong(Canton), usually Zhongshan city is the most preferred choice for low price while Shenzhen is better known for quality.
i need more informations about this led market in guzhen such as there is markets can do international business or they can speak english?
Hi Yakout, lots of the sales in the shops in Guzhen can speak English, but quite limited. If you can’t speak Chinese, it’s suggested to buy from suppliers with English-speaking sales representatives, usually they sell on alibaba and price tends to be higher. Another choice is hiring a local buying agent to source suppliers, follow the orders and arrange shipping. Good luck.

Hi Yakout, thanks for contact. My colleague might be able to help and he’ll email you. Thanks.
Hi i am coming to Guzhen for the first time
Can u suggest me proper market place from where I can buy lights with small MOQ. And also some good hotel to stay at and some Indian restaurants. It will be a great help for me
Hi Anup, welcome to Guzhen. As long as you arrive in the town center, you can easily find lots of led markets in the neirghborhood. The MOQ is quite small, usually 10 pieces or less depending whether they have stocks or not and how you negotiate. As to hotel, it depens on your budget but it is a much preferred option to stay near Guomao(国贸). There is an Indian restaurant Sahara within walking distance.
