Buyer FAQ — prices, MOQ, samples, documents and shipping
Straight answers on who makes the lights, minimum orders, samples, your brand, documents, production time, payment and shipping for solar lights from Guzhen, Zhongshan.
Who is Weichun Lighting, and who makes the lights?
Zhongshan Pinye Lighting Co., Ltd, founded in 2014, makes the lights in Guzhen, Zhongshan, Guangdong, China. TÜV Rheinland's supplier assessment of July 2026 recorded a manufacturer, not a trading company, with 3,500 m², 24 staff and three assembly lines. Weichun Lighting, under the same ownership, is the international sales desk: we publish the factory's range in English with specifications, packing data and indicative USD prices, and we handle the enquiry, the quotation and the order. Orders are contracted and invoiced by RyanFulfil, a Singapore business.
The factory sells on its other platforms as Zhongshan Pinye Lighting Co., Ltd (中山市品业灯饰有限公司), so if you have found it elsewhere, you found it as Pinye. Pinye and Zhongshan Weichun Lighting Co., Ltd are separate registered companies, and your quotation names the company on each order document. See who manufactures, sells and invoices.
What is the minimum order quantity?
It depends on the product. The factory's production minimum is agreed for the exact model, configuration and destination in your written quotation. Trial quantities and prices are confirmed by written quotation too. Send the quantity you need and we will quote the applicable terms.
Each displayed price is USD per piece; carton counts in the specifications describe packing, not a price tier.
Can I start with a small trial quantity?
Ask for it in your enquiry. The trial quantity and its price are confirmed by written quotation for the exact model, and the factory's production minimum depends on the product. Small parcels can travel by courier, where freight can exceed the goods, so ask for the landed cost before you commit.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. Samples are paid, and the sample cost is credited against your first order when that is agreed at quotation stage, so raise it while we are quoting. Sample freight is quoted separately, on your courier account or ours.
On solar lighting a sample is worth more than a datasheet. Charge it, put it outside for a week, and see how it behaves on a cloudy run.
Can you put my brand on the lights?
Yes, as a quoted project. Your logo goes on the product by printing, laser marking or a moulded mark, and your own carton, barcode, insert and manual can replace the standard packing. On pillar models that support it, the centre acrylic panel can carry a pattern you supply; ask which models take it. The method, minimum, tooling and lead time are quoted per project; see OEM and private label.
Are the prices on this site real?
Yes. 197 of the 204 models carry an indicative price in USD per piece, reviewed in September 2026 and indicative until 31 March 2027; the other 7 are quoted individually on your enquiry. The final price comes by written quotation and moves with your quantity, destination and Incoterm, packing changes, and any branding or tooling.
For the 36 priced models in four split-panel street-light worksheets, the worksheets state that standard packing is included and freight and tax are excluded. For the other 161 priced models, including the all-in-one street-light series, packing, freight and tax are set in the written quotation. The Incoterm and any other charges are set there for every model.
Does the price include the lamp, mounting parts and packing?
It depends on the model. Mains pillar versions (model codes ending in -E) are priced without the lamp, which is not included. The 36 priced split-panel street lights include the arm, remote control, fixing screws and bracket plate, with standard packing; the pole clamp is quoted separately, and freight and tax are excluded. For every other model, included parts, packing, freight and tax are set in the written quotation; see what split-panel street-light prices include.
Which pillar light fits a 200 mm column?
The 200 mm models. The size in each pillar-light model code is the base width in millimetres, so a 200 mm column takes a model with 200 in its code, such as the solar WC-PP-SQ-200 in ABS or the WC-PA-GT-200 in aluminium. Measure the pillar or cap you are mounting on and pick the nearest size at or below it; base and top widths differ on the tapered styles. See choose a pillar light by base width.
Which certificates and test reports do you hold?
TÜV Rheinland assessed the supplier in July 2026 (report TP2606291306, 8 July 2026) and recorded a manufacturer, not a trading company; that assessment covers the supplier, its premises and staff, not a product. Product documents are not published on this site: no CE certificate, RoHS declaration, IP-rating test report, battery transport document or design registration is included for these models.
The factory can discuss certification work for quantity orders. Name the certificate or test report your market requires, such as CE, RoHS, an IP-rating report or UN 38.3, with the exact model, order quantity and destination; the quantity threshold, scope, cost and timing need agreement before you order.
How long does production take?
Lead time depends on the product. Your written quotation states it for the exact model and quantity you ask about. Confirm ready-stock availability or production requirements for your exact model and quantity in the written quotation.
Chinese factories close for Chinese New Year, and the weeks either side are the worst time to wait on a first production run. If your delivery falls near it, tell us early and we will confirm the factory's exact closure dates for that year.
What are your payment terms?
You pay the cost of goods in full when you place the order, and any other charges on your quotation in full before the goods ship.
How is shipping quoted?
For your model, quantity, destination and route. Send those four and we quote freight on the packing data for your order. Small parcels can travel by courier, where freight can exceed the goods, so ask for the landed cost before committing. See freight-ready quotations.
Do batteries affect the freight quotation?
They can, so tell us the exact model, quantity, destination and preferred route before freight is quoted. The packing and documents are set for that enquiry rather than assumed from a product family.
Before booking air freight, ask for the battery transport documents for the quoted model and route; carriers normally require a UN 38.3 test summary for lithium cells.
Who do I contract with, and who invoices me?
RyanFulfil, a Singapore business, is the contracting seller. It issues your proforma invoice and your commercial invoice and receives payment. The goods are manufactured in Guzhen, Zhongshan by Zhongshan Pinye Lighting Co., Ltd, under the same ownership as Weichun Lighting.
A payment-security note worth reading once: our bank details are issued with the proforma invoice and do not change by email. If you ever receive a message appearing to come from us that changes a beneficiary account, do not pay it. Call us on a number you already have and confirm first.
Are the lights waterproof, and what IP rating do they have?
Three models carry a stated ingress rating. The twin-head spike light WC-DC01 is listed as IP65 on the manufacturer's English specification sheet. The Classic-series street-light head has IP65 moulded into the housing, and the compact all-in-one flood unit has IP66; both markings are visible in the photographs on the street-lights page. No ingress rating is listed for the other models.
These are manufacturer markings, not test reports: if ingress protection affects approval, require the matching report for the exact model in the quotation document set.
How bright are they? What is the lumen output?
Solar-panel rating and battery capacity describe a light's energy system. They do not establish measured lumen output, light distribution or the illumination delivered at a particular site.
Measured lumen output and photometric reports are not published for this range. If lighting performance affects your project, identify the exact model and application and ask which measurements or supporting reports, such as an LM-79 report, if any, can be supplied. Any additional testing requirements, costs and timing must be agreed before relying on them.
How long do solar pillar lights stay on, and do they switch on automatically?
The factory gives approximately 8–12 hours from a full charge for the solar pillar family. The lights use automatic light sensing: they switch off and charge during daylight, then switch on after dark. They are intended mainly for decorative lighting, with modest brightness.
That is a family figure without model-specific operating modes or test conditions, so ask for your chosen model's runtime and charging conditions with your sample.
What evidence is there for runtime in cloudy weather?
No cloudy-weather runtime is published for any model. The 8–12 hour figure is the factory's statement for the solar pillar family after a full charge, without model-specific operating modes or test conditions. Sunlight varies with location, season, time, landscape and weather, so charge a sample, put it outside through a cloudy run, and ask for your chosen model's runtime and charging conditions for your site and season.
Is the 200W or 1200W in a street-light name the actual power?
No. The number in an all-in-one model name is the factory's series designation, not a measured luminaire wattage. The WC-SL-AI1-200W has an 8 W solar panel and a 5 Ah battery, and the WC-SL-AI3-1200W has a 35 W panel. This is common across Chinese all-in-one solar street lights and it is worth understanding before you compare quotes from several suppliers.
The wattage in the model name is a series designation, not verified lamp power or brightness. Panel rating and battery capacity help frame charging and operating-time questions, but neither establishes measured light output. If brightness or lighting coverage determines suitability, request applicable model-specific measurements and site-planning information.
What does the Glazed-Tile Solar Pillar Light reference (WC-PA-GT-300) mean?
Weichun Lighting reference codes give each export model an unambiguous identifier, because the factory identifies most of this range by a Chinese style name, a material and a size.
The code reads left to right: WC for Weichun, then PA (pillar, aluminium), PP (pillar, plastic/ABS), SL (street light) or the factory's own code for the wall and spike lamps; then the style; then the size in millimetres or the series wattage. A trailing -E means the mains version, and -T the tall body.
Use the reference code in your enquiry so the quotation matches it to the factory's description and dimensions. If you already have the factory's Chinese product name, send that instead: it is printed next to every model on the category pages.
Can pillar lights ship with detachable posts or a custom acrylic pattern?
On models that support it, as the factory's recommendation for overseas orders. The factory recommends blank-design pillar lights with detachable posts for assembly on arrival, and says the central acrylic panel can be customised with your requested pattern.
Ask which models support this configuration; your quotation sets the artwork, assembly details and final packed dimensions. See customisation options and freight-ready quotations.
Can you supply a style that is not on this site?
The 204 published models are the current export range. For another style, send a photo or reference with the quantity, destination and required specification so export availability and price can be quoted in writing.
