History

Foundation and early years Founded in Zhongshan, Guangdong province in 1996 by Madam. Ma and Mr. Wang, OPPLE began as a manufacturer of ceiling lights and quickly moved into CFLs during its first years. In 1999–2000 Opple rolled-out its first OPPLE branded stores in China. In 2001, it moved from a China-only brand to expanding internationally in the Middle East, Europe, India and South East Asia. In 2009 it opened its global headquarters in Shanghai. In 2016 Opple was listed on the Shanghai stock exchange (SHA: 603515).

Domestic expansion Its domestic sales network covers 95% of cities above county level through 4,000 Opple stores and 30,000 sales outlets. Domestically, it has provided lighting for clients including Burger King, Starbucks, Adidas and Holiday Inn.

International expansion Since 2001, OPPLE had begun expanding internationally with the opening of offices in 6 countries.

Asia Pacific: - OPPLE Lahore, Pakistan Office - OPPLE New Delhi, India Office - OPPLE Bangkok, Thailand Office

Europe: - OPPLE Eindhoven, Netherlands Office

Latin America: - OPPLE São Paulo, Brazil Office

Middle East and Africa: - OPPLE Dubai Office - OPPLE South Africa Office OPPLE has provided lighting to the governments of Uruguay, Thailand, South Africa and Egypt.

Plant and office expansion OPPLE has invested over US$150M in building the largest lighting industrial site in Asia (Wujiang production and R&D center), featuring a production floor area of over 600,000M2 as well as an attached R&D facility that employs over 400 engineers, scientists and technicians.

1996 – Headquarters built in Zhongshan, China 1999 – Opening of first factory in Guangdong, China 2000 – Office opening in Wuhan, China 2004 – Opening of first overseas branch office in Dubai, UAE 2009 – Headquarters moved to Shanghai, China 2012 – Opening of the OPPLE Wujiang factory (largest lighting manufacturing site in Asia) in Suzhou, China 2012 – Opening of the Shanghai Research Application Center 2013 – Opening of the R&D center adjacent to OPPLE Wujiang Factory 2013 – Opening of European head-office in Eindhoven, The Netherlands 2014 – Opening of Indian branch office in New Delhi, India 2015 - Opening offices in Belgium and Germany 2018 - Opening offices in Italy and Spain 2020 - Investing in 3rd production facility in South China

Products While OPPLE began as a CFL and ceiling fixture manufacturer, it has since expanded its product line to include a wider array of products and services. Its product line now heavily features LED, matching the global demand for more affordable and efficient lighting technology.

R&D and innovation OPPLE's Wujiang production center is the largest industrial lighting site in Asia, featuring fully automated assembly lines. In 2012 OPPLE opened its Research Application Center in Shanghai with the goal of researching the effects of light on health and human life. In 2012 OPPLE opened a large R&D center adjacent to its Wujiang factory. The OPPLE R&D center employs 400 engineers, technicians and designers and is one of the largest of its kind in Asia. The company maintains a US$20M annual investment in R&D and applied for over 200 patents in 2014.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Opple Lighting

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Opple Lighting claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Opple Lighting before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Opple Lighting ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Opple Lighting

In research: Opple Lighting appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Opple Lighting in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Opple Lighting is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1996 establishments in Shanghai, Chinese brands, Chinese companies established in 1996, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Opple Lighting outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
