Recently, the Sichuan Provincial Administration for Market Regulation released the list of unqualified products from the 2025 provincial supervision and spot check (7th time). In the provincial supervision and spot check of key industrial product quality, 6 batches of lighting productswere reported due to quality issues, all unqualified products originated from Guangdong Province.
According to the announcement, among the 6 batches of non-compliant lighting products this time, 3 batches were embedded luminaires, 1 batch was fixed general-purpose luminaires, and 2 batches were children's desk lamps.
The non-compliance items in this spot check continue to focus on "harmonic current limits". Combined with past supervision and spot-check records, another frequently appearing name was found: Zhongshan Digadi Lighting Co., Ltd.. The company's "Digadi Full Spectrum Diffused Light Eye-Protection Study Desk Lamp" was reported in the April 2025 spot check by the State Administration for Market Regulation due to non-compliance in the "Harmonic Current" item. Additionally, the company's products have appeared on the list of non-compliant products in multiple locations including Chongqing and Chamdo. The Guangdong Provincial Market Regulation Bureau's 2024 spot checks showed that among nearly 400 lighting products within the province, the proportion of harmonic current issues exceeded 60%, and these were mostly concentrated in small and medium-sized OEM enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region . Industry experts point out that such problems often stem from cost compression: some companies adopt inferior electronic components or simplify filter circuit designs to reduce production costs, resulting in products that fail to meet electromagnetic compatibility standards. As an important lighting industry base both nationally and globally, the tens of thousands of lighting enterprises in places like Zhongshan and Foshan in Guangdong are not only bearers of industry glory but also the concentrated sites of quality pain :
Intensified low-price competition : Price wars in e-commerce channels have compressed corporate profits, leading some manufacturers to sacrifice quality for sales volume;
Standard implementation lag: After the new version of "Electromagnetic Compatibility Limits" was officially implemented in July 2024, some enterprises continued to use old standards for production, resulting in a mix of old and new national standard products;
Increased regulatory difficulty: The surge in e-commerce channels and small-scale contract manufacturers makes it difficult for traditional spot-check models to cover the entire supply chain.
Editor's Note Under the goal of 'Dual Carbon', the upgrading demand for Green lighting, and the market call for intelligence and high-end solutions amidst the smart home wave, are all forcing the industry to step out of the comfort zone of 'low price for volume'. This inspection is not only a warning but should become a turning point — only by consolidating the quality foundation through technological innovation, regulating competition order through standard upgrades, and covering all chain shortcomings through regulatory innovation can Guangdong's lighting Industry move from being the 'scale king' to a 'quality benchmark', polishing a more valuable 'China Lighting' brand card within the global Industry / Supply chain.
