Authority service · Lighting sourcing
Asia Sourcing runs lighting sourcing programmes across the four Indian lighting clusters — Moradabad brass, Firozabad glass, Aligarh hardware and Khurja ceramic — with Delhi NCR final-assembly, wiring and CE / UKCA / GS / cUL destination-compliance testing. Programmes span decorative retail lighting, hospitality FF&E contract lighting, architectural pendant and chandelier work, and OEM private-label for international lighting brands.
Indian lighting manufacturing clusters
Moradabad (Uttar Pradesh) — India's brass lighting cluster, dating back to the 18th century. Approximately 6,000+ brass workshops and factories, ranging from single-artisan chisel-and-hammer studios to Tier-1 export-scale factories with in-house CNC, sand-casting, lost-wax casting, spinning, buffing and lacquering. Sourced brass grades include 63/37 (yellow brass, standard for decorative), 90/10 (red brass, premium), 60/40 (harder, for structural fittings) and specialty patina finishes.
Firozabad (Uttar Pradesh) — India's glass cluster with approximately 400 glassworks producing hand-blown clear, tinted, seeded, ribbed, textured and coloured glass shades. Firozabad glass supplies both the Indian domestic lighting industry and international specialty-glass buyers. Aligarh (Uttar Pradesh) — India's hardware and metal-fitting cluster, supplying lamp-holders, cord-grips, switches, wiring, lamp bases and mounting hardware. Khurja (Uttar Pradesh) — India's ceramic cluster, producing hand-glazed ceramic lamp bases, table-lamp bodies and specialty ceramic shades. Delhi NCR — final-assembly, CE / UKCA / GS destination-compliance testing, packaging and export consolidation.

Destination-market compliance
Every lighting SKU carries destination-specific electrical-safety compliance. US destinations — cUL or UL 153 (portable luminaires) / UL 1598 (recessed and permanent) certification, US plug NEMA 1-15 or 5-15 fitted at Delhi NCR final-assembly. UK destinations — UKCA marking, BS EN 60598 luminaire safety, BS 1363 fused plug (13A) fitted. Germany destinations — CE marking, DIN EN 60598, GS-mark (TÜV-tested), Schuko CEE 7/4 plug fitted.
France destinations — CE marking, NF-mark where required, EN 60598, French Type-E plug fitted. Netherlands / Nordic destinations — CE marking, EN 60598, Schuko plug fitted. Australia destinations — RCM marking, AS/NZS 60598 luminaire safety, AS/NZS 3112 plug fitted. RoHS restricted-substance compliance and WEEE (or destination-country e-waste equivalent) registration on Tier-1 programmes.
Sample development and custom lighting
Standard-SKU sample turnaround from Moradabad Tier-1 factories is 20-30 days from tech-pack to physical sample. Custom-design programmes — buyer supplies CAD or reference images, we translate to technical spec, produce a first physical sample at 25-40 day turnaround, one round of paid revision, then production PO. Custom-scale chandeliers (1m+ diameter, mixed-material fabrication) run a longer 60-90 day scale-prototype programme where a physical prototype at target scale is fabricated for buyer sign-off before commercial production.
For hospitality FF&E and architectural contract programmes, we run a formal sample-room construction workflow — 1 or 2 physical guestroom or public-area mock-ups at the factory, buyer or design-firm sign-off, then production PO tied to construction-completion date. Custom-tooling costs are amortised into the production PO or invoiced separately, depending on the buyer's preference.

Lighting Sourcing Companies in India · Frequently asked questions
What is a lighting sourcing company?
A lighting sourcing company acts as the buyer-side India partner across the lighting programme — factory shortlisting, sample development, cost negotiation, production monitoring, electrical-safety testing coordination, pre-shipment inspection and export coordination. Asia Sourcing has been running lighting programmes across Moradabad, Firozabad, Aligarh and Khurja clusters since 2002.
How do I source lighting from India?
Start with a written brief covering category (table lamps, wall lights, chandeliers etc.), MOQ per SKU, target FOB, destination port and destination-market compliance package (US: cUL, UK: UKCA + BS 1363 plug, Germany: GS + Schuko). Asia Sourcing returns a three-to-five factory shortlist per SKU-family within 5-7 working days followed by sample development and factory audit.
Which Indian cluster is best for lighting?
Depends on the primary material. Moradabad for brass, Firozabad for hand-blown glass, Aligarh for metal hardware and lamp-holders, Khurja for ceramic. Most decorative lighting SKUs combine 2-3 clusters — Asia Sourcing coordinates the multi-cluster supply chain into a single Delhi NCR final-assembly-and-testing point.
Can Asia Sourcing handle custom lighting design?
Yes. Standard custom-design programme is 25-40 days from tech-pack to first sample. Custom-scale chandeliers (1m+ diameter) run a 60-90 day physical-scale-prototype programme. Hospitality FF&E and architectural contract programmes include sample-room construction at the factory before production PO.
What is the MOQ for lighting sourcing from India?
Table lamps: 300-1,000 units per SKU. Wall lights: 200-800 units per SKU. Floor lamps: 100-500 units per SKU. Chandeliers: 50-300 units per SKU depending on complexity. Pendants: 300-1,000 units per SKU. Hospitality FF&E: project-scoped, typically 1 property = 60-400 guestroom lighting packages.
