In the era of traditional lighting, incandescent lamps, halogen lamps, and fluorescent lamps are the advantages of Foshan lighting. At that time, Foshan Lighting had the largest incandescent lamp production base in China, with an annual output of 400 million bulbs, and won the position of the leader with incandescent lamps. Fluorescent lamp era also built the largest fluorescent lamp production base in the Asia-Pacific region at that time, with 37 T8/T5 lamp production lines. Throughout the 90s, the production and sales of Foshan Lighting grew at an average annual rate of 50%, and in 1997, it was rated as "China's Top 100 Listed Companies" by Hong Kong's "Asia Weekly".
After the entire industry entered the LED era, although Foshan Lighting also tried to increase the transformation to LED, but due to the lack of production technology of LED chips and electronic components in the middle and upper reaches, coupled with the lack of traditional business growth and management change, the company's performance declined seriously, and the net profit in 2015 fell by 76% year-on-year, both in terms of sales, revenue, and the number of dealers, all lagging behind NVC and Opple. Channel outlets used to be the advantage of Foshan Lighting, with more than 1,000 dealers, but later it was also surpassed by NVC and Opple.
It was not until later that after the capital injection of Guangsheng Company under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Guangdong Province, Foshan Lighting gradually improved. Foshan Lighting has an advantage in the downstream sales channels, while another lighting company controlled by Rising Star Optoelectronics is in the middle and upper reaches of the chip, packaging field, in 2017 R & D investment increased by nearly sixty percent, the two sides cooperated to form a complete LED industry chain, in 2017 Foshan Lighting's revenue also increased by 12.88% year-on-year.
