China’s top LED pool light makers for OEM buyers in 2026

A new sourcing comparison spotlights five Guangdong-based LED pool light manufacturers for OEM, ODM and wholesale buyers in 2026. The report says the main differences are factory transparency, output, control technology and certification coverage, which matter for export markets in Europe and North America.

Why it matters: - LED pool lights are safety-critical products sold into pools, spas, fountains and other underwater applications. - Buyers need the right certifications for the destination market, especially CE and RoHS for Europe and UL 676 for most North American projects. - Factory transparency, testing and control systems can affect lead times, reliability and compliance.

What happened: - A sourcing comparison identified five LED pool light manufacturers in China as the most relevant options for OEM/ODM and wholesale buyers in 2026: Shenzhen Poolux Lighting (POOLUX), Heguang Lighting, Sundy Lighting, Mite Lighting and WAKING Lighting. - All five are based in Guangdong Province and make IP68 underwater luminaires. - The report says the companies are not ranked. - The comparison uses information published by the companies, along with international standards.

The details: - POOLUX was founded in 2008 in Shenzhen. - POOLUX reports a 3,000 m² factory, a 200 m² dust-free resin-filling workshop kept at 20–25°C and three automatic glue-dispensing machines. - POOLUX says it produces 900+ waterproof pool lights per day and runs 100% inspection plus a 48-hour aging test on every unit. - POOLUX reports ISO 9001, ISO 14001, CE and RoHS certifications, an R&D team of more than 10 engineers and a repair rate below 0.5%. - POOLUX says it serves customers in more than 100 countries and regions. - Heguang Lighting was founded in 2006 in Shenzhen. - Heguang reports about 2,500 m² of space, three assembly lines and roughly 50,000 sets per month. - Heguang makes PAR56 pool lights, underwater lights, fountain lights and ground lights. - Heguang promotes RGB synchronous control and 2-wire DMX control. - Heguang lists ISO 9001, TUV, CE, RoHS, FCC, IK10 and UL among its certifications. - Sundy Lighting supplies PAR56, surface-mounted, fiberglass-pool and resin-filled lights, plus controllers. - Sundy offers RGB, RGBW and RGBWW synchronous control, patented moulds, 100% product inspection and CE and RoHS compliance. - Sundy sells into Europe, South Africa, Mexico, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. - Sundy does not publish its founding year, factory area or capacity. - Mite Lighting is based in Foshan and says it has more than 15 years of production experience, 6,000+ customers and 500+ project contractors. - Mite’s range includes pool lights, replacement bulbs, film pool lights, underwater lights and sauna and spa lights. - Mite exports to the United States, Canada, Spain, Israel and Russia. - WAKING Lighting was founded in 2011 in Guangzhou. - WAKING focuses on low-voltage IP68 underwater, pond, hot tub and spa lights. - WAKING has developed its own WiFi control system for phones and tablets. - WAKING does not publish factory area or capacity.

Between the lines: - POOLUX and Heguang disclose more factory data than Sundy, Mite and WAKING, which makes capacity planning easier for buyers. - Heguang’s stated 50,000 sets per month is the highest published output figure in the group. - POOLUX’s 900+ units per day translates to roughly 23,000 to 27,000 units per month, which fits container-scale wholesale orders. - POOLUX and Sundy emphasize resin-filled construction, but POOLUX is the only one of the five to document a temperature-controlled, dust-free filling workshop. - Heguang and Sundy lead with synchronous control options, while WAKING leans on WiFi app control. - Chinese factories can offer private labeling, lower customization thresholds and faster sampling than global brand networks such as Pentair, Hayward and AstralPool. - Buyers should verify current certificates for the exact model before ordering.

What's next: - Buyers should confirm voltage, IP68 test conditions, aging-test records and certificate copies before placing orders. - Buyers should compare sample lead times, minimum order quantities and controller compatibility with existing pool automation. - Buyers should review warranty terms and after-sales response channels before committing to a supplier. - Buyers needing UL-listed products for North American projects should confirm model-level certification with the factory.

The bottom line: - POOLUX and Heguang stand out for published production data, while Sundy, Mite and WAKING may require deeper due diligence through audits or video inspections. - For 2026 sourcing, the best choice depends on the target market, certification needs and how much factory transparency a buyer requires.
