Ask about compliance documentation →What this lands at in Ireland
Decorative and architectural lighting bought factory-direct from Zhongshan typically lands in Ireland 40–50% below Irish lighting-trade pricing for equivalent specification. Luminaires (HS 9405) are generally 2.7–3.7% EU import duty with VAT at 23% on CIF plus duty; we confirm the exact rate and provide a full landed-cost calculation at quote stage.
Lead time and logistics
Lead time: 4–6 weeks production + 4–5 weeks sea freight (Guangdong → Dublin).
Fittings ship foam-packed and cartonised; large chandeliers crate separately. Ériu Sourcing verifies CE/LVD/EMC documentation and 230V/EU driver spec at the factory before shipment, and consolidates lighting with wider FF&E where it suits.
Hospitality Fit-Out, sourcing questions answered
Is hospitality lighting from Zhongshan CE-compliant for Ireland?
Yes. Ériu Sourcing verifies an EU Declaration of Conformity covering the Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive and RoHS, with 220–240V 50Hz EU-spec drivers, at the factory before shipment. We obtain manufacturer-signed EU documentation, not a Chinese third-party certificate.
Can fittings be made to a designer's bespoke specification?
Yes. Guzhen factories produce bespoke pendants and chandeliers to a designer's drawing, custom finishes, glass, shade fabrics and dimensions, with brand-matched RAL options. We approve a sample fitting before the production run.
Will the lighting work with our dimming and control system?
Specify your control protocol at brief stage, TRIAC, 0–10V or DALI, and we match the driver accordingly. This avoids the common problem of imported fittings that flicker or won't dim on an Irish control system.
How much can we save versus Irish lighting suppliers?
Factory-direct Zhongshan lighting typically lands at 40–50% of Irish trade pricing for comparable decorative or architectural specification, the saving being the European specification-house and distributor margin removed.
