HEADLAMP Wholesale
NINGHAI · CHINA · SINCE 2011

About

Our story

We started in 2011 in Changjie Town, which sits in the Ninghai flashlight belt. The neighbours all make torches of some kind, so the moulds, lenses and drivers are right on our doorstep. We are not the biggest workshop here, about 5,600 m² and 64 people, but we stick to head torches rather than trying to make everything.

Most of what leaves here goes to outdoor buyers in Germany, the USA, France and the Nordics, plus a handful of mining and industrial customers who need something that survives being dropped down a shaft. Roughly 24 countries over the years. We do OEM, so a fair bit of our work is your logo, your colour, our guts inside.

What we care about is the boring stuff: a switch that still clicks at -10°C, a runtime that matches what's printed on the box, and a beam that actually throws as far as we claim. If we get that right the repeat orders take care of themselves.

Who you'll talk to

Two people, not a call centre

If you message us during the day you'll most likely reach Sam Zhou (周珊). Sam has been doing export and OEM work here since 2013, so he knows the moulds, the LED bins, the whole supply chain around Ninghai. He's the one who sorts out odd custom requests, like a buyer wanting a different switch feel or a red rear marker.

For EU outdoor retail, Ivy Lin (林薇) joined us in 2018 and handles most of the Germany, France and Nordic accounts. She is fussy about packaging and barcodes, which honestly has saved a few orders from getting stuck at customs.

Between the two of them you get straight answers. No tiered support, no ticket numbers, just the people who actually watch your order go down the line.
