The booth market has fewer circulation links and cheaper prices. Consumers naturally prefer it. However, because the professional lighting city is almost all merchants, each merchant operates independently, and some lighting management cities are lagging behind. Often poor after-sales service, and even some unscrupulous merchants sell low-priced unqualified products, the market environment is dirty, chaotic, poor, so that the high-consumption people who speak the taste are far away from it, and the customer groups are mostly limited to ordinary consumers.  (Editor: Lin Yi lylwj@lightingchina.com.cn )
