About Cornea Lighting
Factory-direct T8 & T5 LED tube manufacturer. Founded 2008 in Shenzhen, China. Supplying distributors, contractors, OEM clients, and governments in 80+ countries.
Our Story
Cornea Lighting was founded in 2008 in Shenzhen, China, at the beginning of the commercial LED revolution. Our founders — engineers from the semiconductor and traditional lighting industries — recognized that the transition from fluorescent to LED would require a new kind of manufacturer: one that could deliver certified, reliable LED tubes at factory-direct prices, without the distributor markup that inflated costs for B2B buyers.
Over 15 years, we have built one of China's most certification-complete LED tube manufacturing operations. Our 35,000 m² facility in Shenzhen houses 6 automated production lines, an in-house photometric laboratory (LM-79/LM-80 testing), and a dedicated quality control team of 45 engineers. Every product that leaves our factory has been tested against the certification standards of the market it serves.
Today, we supply electrical distributors, lighting contractors, OEM clients, retail chains, and government procurement agencies in 80+ countries. Our products are installed in commercial offices, warehouses, schools, hospitals, retail stores, and government buildings across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
