What Yo-Smart does
Guangdong Yanyang Lighting Co., Ltd., operating under the Yo-Smart designation, is a privately held Chinese LED lighting manufacturer established in 2017 and headquartered in Jianghai District, Jiangmen, Guangdong Province — adjacent to the so-called 'Lighting Capital of China.' The company focuses on the R&D, production, and sales of energy-efficient LED lighting products, operating four sub-brands: Kadi Zhiguang (卡迪之光), Milan Aurora (米兰极光), Wenxin (闻信), and Sanjing (三景). Its product portfolio spans LED bulbs, downlights, flood lights, ceiling-mounted lights, bath heaters, kitchen cooling fans, and solar flood lights, serving home, commercial, and industrial end-markets.
The company's core technology revolves around LED lighting manufacturing, with a supplementary IoT offering via the YoLink Smart Hub (v0382) — a $20 retail gateway device that connects smart locks, sensors, and plugs in residential environments. Two dedicated mobile apps (Kadi and Yanyang) enable consumer-side control and product engagement. The hub has documented security weaknesses (CVE-2025-59449 authorization bypass, unencrypted MQTT communications), which represent material product and reputational risk.
The business model is primarily B2B/B2C LED hardware sales through multi-brand distribution channels, supplemented by a one-time retail sale model for the IoT gateway. No SaaS subscription, recurring service revenue, or institutional funding is disclosed in the available data. The company appears to be founder/owner-operated with no parent entity, subsidiaries, or external venture capital backing identified.
