Navigating Lighting Fixture Pricing Amid Tariff Uncertainty
Lighting Fixture Pricing Updates: Transparency Amid Tariff Changes
At Lighting New York, transparency with our LNY Pro Members is a top priority — especially during times of market uncertainty.
Recent developments shared by the American Lighting Association (ALA) highlight important changes impacting the lighting industry:
- A 125% tariff has been implemented on Chinese imports, including many lighting products.
- A 90-day pause on enforcement of new tariffs has been announced for most countries except China. Products sourced from China are still subject to the full tariff increase.
- The ALA continues active advocacy efforts to lessen the impact on our industry and is collaborating with other sectors to pursue tariff exclusions.
While the full extent of price increases is not yet clear, we are beginning to see some brands adjust their pricing on fixtures sourced from China.
At Lighting New York, we are committed to keeping you informed and doing everything possible to support your business through these changes. We remain steadfast in our promise to provide the very best trade pricing — guaranteed.

Your Questions Answered: Lighting Prices, Tariffs, and How We’re Supporting You

Q: Is the tariff increase happening for all countries?
No. While a 90-day pause has been placed on enforcement of new tariffs for most countries (with a temporary 10% tariff applied), this does not apply to imports from China. Products sourced from China are subject to the full 125% tariff.
