What CUPOWER does

CUPOWER (Shenzhen Cupower Co., Ltd) is a privately held LED driver and intelligent lighting control manufacturer founded in 2009 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China. The company designs and produces a portfolio of 300+ standard LED driver solutions organized into eight product families — Linear SELV, Linear Non-SELV, Compact SELV, Constant Voltage, Track, Outdoor, Wireless (Bluetooth Mesh), and North American (UL-certified) — alongside presence/light sensors and accessories such as DALI bus power supplies. Its underlying technology centers on constant-current LED driver design with wide operating windows, DALI-2 / D4i / i-Data protocol stacks, NFC-based configuration, flicker-free dimming (PstLM<1, SVM<0.4), and a proprietary Bluetooth-Mesh platform compatible with four major lighting control ecosystems (Casambi, Mymesh, Meshle, INGY). Supporting assets include a Toolbox configuration software suite, embedded sensor firmware, and Zhaga R44/R60-compliant wireless modules.

The company sells on a quote-based B2B model to OEM luminaire manufacturers across more than 60 countries, with go-to-market executed through a direct sales team of 100+ specialists, a global channel/reseller network, regional trade-show presence (GILE, Light + Building Frankfurt, LEDucation New York, Light Fair India, Hong Kong International Lighting Fair, among others), and digital channels (corporate website, LinkedIn, newsletter). Its operations are backed by a 20,000 square-meter manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, 4 R&D centers, and 60+ R&D professionals; the company holds a dense stack of regional certifications including CE, CB, CCC, ENEC, BIS, RCM, SAA, UL, UL CLASS P, UKCA, FCC, and ErP, and was the first driver manufacturer to achieve 100% Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) certification across its full product range under PEP ECO PASS. Revenue is generated predominantly through hardware sales of LED drivers and intelligent control modules, with no disclosed software-as-a-service or recurring revenue streams. A European regional presence is led by a General Manager of CUPOWER Europe, and partnerships with the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Associate Member, May 2025) and Zhaga Consortium (strategic partner and title sponsor of Zhaga Night 2026) anchor its standards-body positioning.
