At the exhibition, many manufacturers were actively engaged in the expansion and discussion of the LED lighting industry, specifically in technology like IoT, AI, wireless networking and current smart city development trends. Taking advantage of the platform, these exhibitors showcased their own smart lighting products and solutions, in the fierce market of LED lighting competition, as well as searching for potential business opportunities. These vendors include Tuya, BroadLink, Jingxun, Fonda Tech and more.

Many software platform application vendors offered smart lighting solutions and customized products from lighting manufacturers.

For example, Tuya provides an IoT OS platform that offers intelligent functions for high-quality LED lighting products; BroadLink debuted at the Spring Light Show to showcase their latest patented Fastcon technology, which is known to greatly increase connection speed and stability. The Fastcon technology allows each bulb can to function as the main body while synchronizing multiple light bulbs, each of which can be independently controlled by APP operation.
