The first phase of the 140th Canton Fair concluded on October 19, 2026. Guangdong DP Co., Ltd. participated in Guangzhou, presenting its rechargeable fan and lighting product categories to international buyers across two exhibition areas.
From October 15–19, DP participated in the Household Appliances and Lighting exhibition areas, creating opportunities to introduce product categories, discuss sourcing requirements, and explore potential cooperation with overseas buyers.
But for importers, distributors, wholesalers, and private-label buyers, sourcing does not end when an exhibition closes.
The next steps are often more important:
Identifying products suitable for the target market
Comparing technical specifications
Confirming battery capacity, runtime, and charging requirements
Selecting standard or customized product configurations
Requesting quotations and samples
Approving specifications before mass production
A product that looks attractive at an exhibition still needs to meet the buyer’s market expectations, cost targets, and quality requirements.
That is why this DP 140th Canton Fair recap focuses not only on the exhibition itself but also on how overseas buyers can move from initial product discovery to structured sourcing and OEM/ODM cooperation.
The Canton Fair is where buyers discover products. The next step is turning product interest into clear specifications, sample evaluations, and practical sourcing plans.

DP at the 140th Canton Fair: Connecting with Global Buyers in Guangzhou
The first phase of the 140th Canton Fair took place from October 15 to 19, 2026, at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou.
Household electrical appliances and lighting equipment were among the exhibition categories for this phase.
DP’s participation covered two exhibition areas, helping distinguish household rechargeable products from portable and rechargeable lighting solutions.
At Area A, the product focus was rechargeable fans and household product solutions.
At Area C, the product scope covered rechargeable flashlights, searchlights, camping lanterns, headlamps, emergency lights, rechargeable bulbs, and related lighting categories.
This two-area arrangement reflected the different needs of buyers sourcing portable cooling products and those developing lighting product portfolios.
A Look at DP’s Exhibition Booths
DP participated in two exhibition areas during Phase 1 of the 140th Canton Fair. The household-appliances area focused on rechargeable fans and related products, while the lighting area featured DP’s rechargeable lighting categories.
The two locations allowed buyers to explore different product applications and identify the categories most relevant to their sourcing plans.
For buyers interested in the original exhibition announcement, DP’s 140th Canton Fair invitation provides the exhibition dates, booth information, and product-category overview.
With Phase 1 now completed, the emphasis shifts from arranging booth visits to continuing product discussions, confirming requirements, and evaluating possible cooperation.
For overseas buyers who could not attend, the sourcing process can still move forward through product information, technical specifications, samples, and direct communication with the DP team.
Rechargeable Fans: From Showroom Features to Market-Ready Specifications
A rechargeable fan can make a strong first impression through its design, airflow, portability, or additional functions.
However, deciding whether a fan belongs in a wholesale or private-label product line requires more than observing it during a short demonstration.
Importers should translate product interest into measurable specifications.
Start with the Intended Application
A small personal fan, a rechargeable desk fan, and a larger portable fan may serve different markets.
Buyers should identify whether the product is primarily intended for:
Bedroom or household use
Office desks and personal workspaces
Retail counters and small shops
Outdoor activities
Hot-climate markets
Locations with unreliable electricity
This decision influences the appropriate fan size, airflow, battery capacity, product structure, and target selling price.
A compact personal fan may prioritize portability and simple controls, while a larger rechargeable fan may require longer runtime, wider airflow coverage, or additional functions.
Evaluate Airflow, Noise, and Coverage Together
Fan performance should not be reduced to motor power or blade diameter alone.
Importers should consider useful airflow at the intended distance, available speed settings, operating noise, vibration, base stability, and whether the fan uses fixed or oscillating airflow.
DP’s guide to rechargeable fan noise, airflow, and runtime explains why these characteristics should be evaluated under comparable operating conditions.
Buyers should approve the selected fan configuration according to the intended application rather than relying only on a single headline specification.
Confirm Battery and Charging Performance
After selecting a fan’s functional design, buyers should examine:
Battery type and capacity
Runtime at relevant fan speeds
Rated charging input
Full charging time
Battery-level indication
Included charging accessories
A larger battery can support longer operating time, but it may also change product weight, cost, and charging requirements.
DP’s guide to charging time for rechargeable fans and lights explains why battery configuration, input power, cables, adapters, and test conditions should be considered together.
Convert the Selected Fan into a Clear SKU
A market-ready rechargeable fan specification should identify the selected model, battery configuration, motor and airflow characteristics, functions, colors, accessories, packaging, and approved operating performance.
These details help importers compare quotations fairly and prepare for sample approval.
The objective is not simply to source a fan with the most functions.
It is to select a product that delivers the right combination of cooling performance, portability, runtime, cost, and retail positioning.
Buyers can also explore DP’s Rechargeable Fan Series when preparing their product shortlist.
Rechargeable Lighting: Why Buyers Should Look Beyond Lumens
Rechargeable lighting is another important part of DP’s product portfolio.
Buyers sourcing flashlights, searchlights, headlamps, camping lanterns, emergency lights, and rechargeable bulbs should consider the intended application before choosing performance specifications.
A high lumen rating alone does not tell the buyer whether the light will work well for the target customer.
Beam Shape and Working Distance Matter
Two flashlights with similar light output can illuminate their surroundings very differently.
One may produce a narrow, intense beam for distant target identification.
Another may provide wider nearby illumination.
The right choice depends on the user’s working distance and viewing area.
DP’s guide to flashlight optical systems explains how reflector, TIR, and zoom-based designs influence the resulting beam.
For sourcing decisions, importers should define the intended illumination pattern before choosing the optical structure.
Battery and Lighting Modes Affect Usability
For portable lighting, buyers should also evaluate:
Runtime at different brightness settings
Battery capacity and configuration
Charging interface and full-charge time
Lighting modes and button controls
Product weight and carrying comfort
Housing structure and environmental protection
A light intended for outdoor searching has different requirements from a rechargeable bulb intended for household power outages.
Similarly, a camping lantern may prioritize area illumination and longer low-mode operation rather than maximum beam distance.
The most appropriate specification depends on how customers will use the product.
Build the Right Product Mix
The most useful lighting portfolio is not necessarily the one containing the highest number of models.
Importers should select products that complement one another across:
Household use
Emergency backup lighting
Outdoor activities
Inspection and work
Portable directional lighting
Different retail price levels
Once the product applications are clear, the importer can request appropriate battery, optical, charging, housing, and packaging configurations.
This makes it easier to build a consistent product line instead of collecting unrelated exhibition samples.
Three Sourcing Decisions Buyers Should Make After the Exhibition
After discovering products at a trade fair, importers need to turn their shortlist into purchasing decisions.
Three decisions are particularly useful before requesting final quotations or approving samples.
Decision 1 — Define the Target Market
Start with the destination market and distribution channel.
A buyer should identify:
Target country or region
Wholesale, retail, or e-commerce channel
Main user application
Intended selling-price range
Expected order volume
Market-specific product requirements
For example, a rechargeable fan intended for a hot-climate wholesale market may need a different battery and airflow configuration from a compact fan designed for office retail.
Similarly, a searchlight and a household emergency bulb should not share the same performance priorities.
Decision 2 — Finalize the Product Configuration
Once the market is defined, the next step is to specify the product.
For rechargeable fans, this may include motor configuration, airflow, battery capacity, charging time, and operating functions.
For lighting products, it may include beam pattern, brightness modes, runtime, housing, charging interface, and accessories.
Buyers should also confirm packaging, labeling, product colors, and any required documentation.
Clear specifications reduce the risk of comparing quotations for products that only appear similar.
Decision 3 — Choose the SKU and Cooperation Model
The buyer can then determine whether the project requires:
Standard wholesale models
Private-label products
OEM customization
ODM development, where feasible
Not every project needs a new mold or a completely redesigned product.
For some markets, a suitable existing model with approved branding and packaging may be the more efficient approach.
For others, battery, functional, optical, or mechanical customization may be commercially justified.
DP’s OEM/ODM buyer brief for factory quotations explains what importers should prepare when submitting product requirements for evaluation.
These three decisions help convert broad exhibition interest into a realistic sourcing plan.
From Canton Fair Discussions to OEM Samples and Production Planning
Trade-fair introductions become commercially useful when the buyer and supplier agree on specific next steps.
For importers interested in working with DP, a structured post-exhibition process may include the following stages.
Step 1 — Confirm Product Interest
Identify the product category, selected model, or intended application.
If an exact model has not yet been selected, share a reference product or the required performance range.
This helps narrow the options before a detailed quotation is prepared.
Step 2 — Submit an RFQ and Technical Requirements
A useful request for quotation should include:
Target market
Product model or reference
Estimated quantity
Battery and performance requirements
Charging and accessory requirements
Branding and packaging preferences
Target price and expected delivery needs
The more clearly the product requirements are defined, the easier it becomes to evaluate a suitable configuration and quotation.
Step 3 — Evaluate Samples
Sample evaluation should cover both appearance and functional performance.
Depending on the product, buyers may need to examine airflow or lighting performance, battery runtime, charging behavior, controls, housing, assembly, accessories, and packaging.
A sample should represent the configuration the buyer actually intends to purchase.
Step 4 — Approve the Golden Sample
Once the required configuration is confirmed, the approved sample becomes a reference for subsequent production.
The buyer should ensure that important components, specifications, appearance, accessories, and operating behavior are documented.
DP’s article on golden sample quality control explains why an approved reference sample is important for manufacturing consistency.
Step 5 — Plan Production and Delivery
After technical and commercial requirements are agreed upon, the project can move toward order confirmation, production planning, quality-control requirements, and shipment preparation.
DP’s sample-to-mass-production process explains how approved sample specifications can be transferred into production requirements.
This is a recommended sourcing workflow, not a claim that every exhibition discussion has already reached the order stage.
Buyers can also explore DP’s OEM and ODM manufacturing services to learn about available customization and product-development cooperation.
