Global Certification Requirements for Sky Light / Northern Light Projector Lamps

In recent years, with the growing popularity of smart homes and ambient lighting, sky lamps (sky projectors / northern light lamps) have become a top‑selling trend product. Using LED light sources and specialized optical designs, they project realistic sky, cloud, aurora and starry effects on ceilings and walls, creating immersive indoor atmospheres.

However, many manufacturers face risks such as product removal, fines and trade barriers because they fail to comply with national and international certification regulations.

As a professional lighting testing and certification body, we summarize the mandatory certification requirements for sky lamps sold in China and major global markets, helping you export safely and dominate the market.
