The epidemic has driven the popularity of products such as UV sterilization
This edition of the exhibition continues to feature 50 exhibition zones across 16 major product categories, with lighting as one of the key categories. As of 13:00 on October 16, approximately 29,400 lighting-related products were exhibited by 593 exhibitors. Reporters observed lighting companies such as Yangguang Lighting, Foshan Lighting, Snowlight, Guangmingyuan, and Debang Lighting, along with numerous trading companies, participating in the event.

The outbreak of the pandemic this year has made UV sterilization products popular among consumers worldwide. Reporters observed that lighting manufacturers have launched and showcased a wide range of products, including UV germicidal lamps, UV disinfection and sterilization kits, and UV air disinfectors.

Take a mini lightweight phone sanitizer box as an example. This sanitizer uses UV-C light technology to kill bacteria on mobile phones. In addition to phones, it can also disinfect daily items such as necklaces, earrings, and watches. The product is affordable, priced between $8 and $10.
In addition, the pandemic has also driven the global "stay-at-home economy," with smart small appliances, smart kitchen and bathroom products, and smart home products becoming quite popular.
In the lighting product category of the cloud-based display platform, a mobile phone beauty light stands out with its cute and eye-catching design. This is a fill light that clips onto the top of a mobile phone, primarily designed to illuminate the face during selfies. It offers adjustable Luminance modes ranging from three to nine levels, including various effects such as cool light and warm light.
This product is mainly sold to South Asia, Central Asia, the United States and Canada, Latin America, Russia, the European Union, other European countries, Australia, Japan, and South Korea.
