Opening on May 26! Get a sneak peek at the four major highlights of the 2026 Guzhen Lighting Fair Summer Edition
Currently, China's lighting industry is in a critical period of transformation from "scale expansion" to "quality leap", while undergoing technological transition, scenario deepening, and green transformation—three profound changes.
In this context, the 2026 Guzhen Lighting Fair Summer Edition will be grandly held from May 26 to 28 at the Guzhen Conference and Exhibition Center in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. As a key part of Guzhen's "three exhibitions a year" strategic layout, the Summer Edition will form a differentiated complement to the Spring Edition's "new product launches" and the Autumn Edition's "global expansion", continuously deepening the influence of the Lighting Capital Guzhen in the global lighting industry.
Leveraging the profound resources of the Guzhen Lighting Fair over 27 years, the Summer Edition boasts over 1.2 million professional buyer resources, focusing on commercial lighting, outdoor cultural tourism, accessories and supporting products, bathroom hardware, and cross-border e-commerce—five core growth sectors. With a more professional, precise, and efficient new posture, the exhibition creates a benchmark event in niche fields, building a core platform for technical exchange, business cooperation, and trend insight for the industry.

Adhering to the concept of "small but refined, specialized and strong", this summer exhibition precisely links supply and demand, focusing on five core growth sectors: commercial lighting, outdoor cultural tourism, accessories and supporting facilities, bathroom hardware, and cross-border e-commerce.
At that time, the exhibition will centrally showcase energy-efficient solutions for commercial lighting, immersive light and shadow installations for outdoor cultural tourism, commercial intelligent control systems, environmentally friendly luminaires, and new cross-industry fusion products, covering frontier technologies such as intelligent scenario applications, holographic projection, and AI dynamic tracking, comprehensively displaying the latest achievements and application cases in niche fields.
Meanwhile, the exhibition will provide one-stop coverage for diverse application scenarios such as urban renewal, commercial space upgrades, cultural tourism night tours, and bathroom hardware accessories, helping enterprises seize the high ground in niche tracks and grasp the golden opportunities of industry transformation.
