About Light Power Tech
Founded in 2019 in Shenzhen — a leading cordless hair straightener manufacturer with 21 patents, 300+ employees, and products in 40+ countries.
Our Story
Light Power Tech was founded in 2019 with a single, clear mission: to solve the fundamental performance limitations that had plagued cordless hair styling tools since their introduction to the market.
The problems were well-known — slow heat-up times, insufficient battery life, poor durability, and no safety mechanism for post-use storage. Every manufacturer knew the problems. We decided to actually fix them.
Six years of focused R&D later, we've achieved what we set out to do: 20-second heat-up to 200°C (2× faster than any competitor), 45-minute battery life, 300-cycle durability standard, and the world's first patented heat-isolation sleeve. 21 patents protect these innovations globally.
Today, our products are trusted by brands in 40+ countries, from independent beauty brands to established retail chains. We remain a specialist manufacturer — focused exclusively on wireless hair styling technology, because that focus is what makes us the best at it.
