About the Lighting Encyclopedia

Your neutral, data-driven reference for the global lighting industry.

Our Mission

The Lighting Encyclopedia exists to solve one problem: the lack of a reliable, unbiased, centralized source of lighting product information. With thousands of manufacturers, hundreds of standards, and dozens of product categories spread across multiple markets, buyers and professionals need a trustworthy reference — not a sales pitch.

We provide that reference. Free of charge, free of ads, and free of affiliate bias.

What We Cover

Our encyclopedia spans the complete lighting ecosystem across 50 major cities in the United States and Europe:

Product Guides: LED ceiling lights, downlights, track lights, crystal chandeliers, wall lights, outdoor lights, strip lights, drivers, and light sources — with specifications, comparison tables, and selection criteria.
Technical Parameters: Color temperature (CCT), CRI/RA, luminous flux, illuminance, beam angle, IP rating, material types, and dimensions — explained with real-world context.
Standards Compliance: GB 7000.1, GB 50034, IEC 62471, CE, UL, ROHS, ERP — with applicability matrices and compliance checklists for each target market.
Troubleshooting: Step-by-step diagnostic guides for flickering, dimming incompatibility, no power, buzzing sounds, driver failure, and LED degradation.
Scene-Based Guides: Room-by-room lighting recommendations from living rooms to commercial spaces, with illuminance targets and product suggestions.
Verified Suppliers: Local lighting stores and suppliers in 35 US cities and 15 European cities — independently verified, no paid placements.
