The New Lights booth at the 2023 Autumn Canton Fair displayed general lighting alongside decorative filament lamps and colour-changing ambient products. When an older fair reference returns in a new enquiry, compare it with the current model and sample as a new revision. Product appearance may remain familiar while components, controls, accessories, documents or packaging have changed.
Use the archive to identify the configuration family
Begin by marking the exact display area or product in the archived image. Then identify the family: lamp, integrated luminaire, linear product, solar unit or colour-changing ambient product. This narrows the current search without treating the old display as a frozen specification.
The next question is whether the buyer wants the same visual effect, the same physical format or the closest current functional replacement. Those are different tasks. A visual match may use different electronics, while a physical replacement must fit the existing cap, opening, mounting surface or fixture.
Compare the archived reference with the current proposal
Use a short revision table before approving a quotation or sample. Record “unchanged” only when the exact field has been checked.
| Comparison field | Archive reference | Current proposal | Approval evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model identity | Display family or old code | Current model and revision | Quotation and datasheet |
| Physical format | Visible shape, cap or mounting style | Dimensions, materials and accessories | Drawing and sample |
| Light effect | Colour, pattern or displayed ambience | CCT, colour mode, output and control behaviour | Sample and test condition |
| Electrical design | Often unavailable from a fair image | Voltage, driver, dimming, control and wiring | Datasheet and marked sample |
| Market documents | Historical display context | Current destination-market package | Named current files |
| Packaging | Old display or sample presentation | Unit pack, label, artwork and shipping pack | Approved packaging file and sample |
Decorative filament references need controlled visual details
For decorative lamps, identify the glass or envelope shape, cap, filament pattern, visible colour, voltage, dimming requirement and intended luminaire. Packaging is also part of the product definition when the bulb is sold as a design item or must arrive with the filament protected.
The filament LED and standard LED comparison explains the main construction and application differences. A current heart-shaped LED filament bulb provides one product route for a shaped filament request. Other patterns should receive their own drawing, sample identity and packaging approval.
Colour-changing products add control-state decisions
An RGB product should not be approved from a single illuminated colour. Define the available modes, colour sequence, brightness control, memory after power loss, controller or app, pairing method and default start-up state. If a ring light is used for image capture, also state the mounting arrangement, working distance, white-light requirement and power source.
The RGB and CCT selfie ring light series is a current route for ring-light enquiries. Match the archived visual reference to a named current configuration, then verify the required colour and white-light states on the sample.
Keep the sample, quotation and order on one revision
Once a current model is selected, copy its exact model code and option fields into the sample request. The quotation, sample label, approved photos, packaging artwork and purchase specification should point to the same revision. If a driver, control, cap, cable, finish or accessory changes, update the comparison record before approval.
The New Lights factory and manufacturing overview provides the capability context for controlled sampling and production. The purpose of the archive is to recover the intended product direction; the current files and production-intent sample govern the new order.
134th Canton Fair context
The China Import and Export Fair reported that Phase 1 of the 134th Canton Fair concluded on 19 October 2023. Its official participant notice lists the full session in Guangzhou from 15 October to 4 November 2023.
Current New Lights event information and historical fair records are collected on the Lighting Events & Trade Shows page. To match a 2023 booth reference to a current product, contact New Lights with the marked photograph, intended application and comparison fields.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a 2023 Canton Fair product still be ordered today?
The product family may still exist, but the current model, components, options, documents, availability and packaging need a new quotation and sample check.
What should be compared when a decorative bulb looks the same?
Compare model identity, dimensions, cap, glass, filament pattern, electrical design, dimming, colour, packaging and destination-market documents.
How should an RGB sample be approved?
Record every required mode, colour and white-light state, brightness behaviour, control method, memory, start-up state, mounting and power arrangement under one sample revision.
