What LED chip brands are best to specify? +

Tier-1 LED chips: Nichia (Japan), Cree/Wolfspeed (USA), Osram (Germany), Lumileds (Netherlands). These are used in premium products. Chinese brands: Epistar (Taiwan), MLS, Nationstar — good quality at lower cost. Always specify the chip brand in your purchase order if quality is critical.

What is the minimum order for LED lights from China? +

MOQ varies: Standard products (bulbs, panels): 100-500 pcs minimum. Custom designs with your logo: 500-2,000 pcs. LED strips: 100-500 meters minimum. Higher quantities get significantly better per-unit pricing. ChinaBajar can negotiate lower MOQs for testing.
