CHZ Lighting 2026 Team Building Event: Strengthening Bonds by Dianshan Lake

Morning Team Challenges Set the Tone

The event, organized by CHZ Lighting's administrative team led by event coordinator, brought together staff from sales, marketing, engineering, operations, and support functions. Participants gathered at the company's Shanghai headquarters at 8:00 AM and departed in a convoy of five vehicles, arriving at the picturesque lakeside campsite approximately 90 minutes later. The journey set a relaxed tone for the day, with colleagues chatting and sharing snacks along the way.

Under partly cloudy skies with comfortable temperatures ranging from 16 to 24 degrees Celsius — ideal weather for outdoor activities — the day officially began with brief opening remarks from the organizing team, followed by ice-breaking activities to energize the group.

The morning session, running from 9:30 to 11:00 AM, featured two interactive team challenges. The first was a classic tug-of-war competition, where participants were divided into teams and competed with enthusiasm and good humor. The second activity, a confidential team game designed by the organizing committee, required creative problem-solving and close coordination among team members. Both games generated lively energy and plenty of laughter, helping break down barriers between colleagues who may not regularly work together.

“This team building event was a wonderful opportunity for our colleagues to connect outside of the office environment. At CHZ Lighting, we believe that strong teamwork is the foundation of everything we do — from product development to customer service. When our team members know each other better and trust each other more, we deliver better results for our clients. It's inspiring to see everyone's competitive spirit and camaraderie on display today.”

— Huo Jianwen, General Manager

Following the morning activities, the group walked approximately 600 meters to Huixianyan Restaurant for a group lunch. The leisurely walk through the scenic area provided additional time for informal conversation, and the meal featured a variety of local dishes enjoyed in a relaxed, communal setting.

Lakeside Tea Break & Relaxation

Between the morning games and the afternoon tournament, employees had time to relax at the campsite's lakeside tea tent. Set up under a spacious canopy with comfortable outdoor seating overlooking Dianshan Lake, the tea area quickly became a popular gathering spot. Colleagues enjoyed freshly brewed tea, local snacks, and casual conversation while taking in the scenic lake views.

The relaxed atmosphere of the tea break provided a natural transition between the high-energy morning activities and the focused afternoon competition. Many employees took the opportunity to chat with colleagues from other departments, strengthening cross-team connections that would carry back to the workplace.

As the afternoon sun climbed higher, everyone gathered for the main event — the Guandan card tournament, one of the most anticipated activities of the day.

Afternoon: Strategy, Competition, and Sunset

The afternoon was dedicated to one of the event's most anticipated highlights: the Guandan card tournament. Guandan, a popular strategic card game in Jiangsu and Shanghai regions, was chosen for its emphasis on partnership and strategic thinking — qualities that resonate with CHZ Lighting's collaborative work culture.

Sixteen participants formed eight teams and competed through four rounds of matches using a point-based scoring system. The competition was fierce but friendly, with spectators gathering around tables to cheer on their colleagues. For employees not competing in the tournament, outdoor karaoke was set up at the campsite, adding a lively musical atmosphere to the afternoon.

Award Ceremony: Celebrating the Winners

After four intense rounds of competition, the Guandan tournament concluded with an award ceremony honoring the top three teams. The first-place team received the championship trophy and a cash prize, while the second and third-place teams were also recognized with awards for their outstanding performance.

ML02 Portable Lights Illuminate the Evening

The day concluded with a self-service barbecue dinner from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The organizing team had divided participants into specialized groups to ensure smooth operations: a barbecue team of six employees handled the grilling stations, a hot pot team of four managed the soup stations, while logistics and supply teams ensured everything ran efficiently.

Notably, the nighttime lighting for the barbecue and evening activities was provided by CHZ Lighting's own ML02 50W portable work lights — a fitting showcase of the company's product expertise in action. The ML02 series, designed for outdoor, industrial, and emergency applications, delivered bright, comfortable illumination throughout the evening, turning the campsite into a warm, inviting space as darkness fell.

Featuring high-performance SMD2835 LED chips with a luminous efficacy exceeding 180 lm/W, the ML02 50W provides powerful output in a compact, portable form. Its IP65 waterproof rating meant the lights performed reliably despite the evening humidity, while the 360-degree rotatable lamp body and 180-degree adjustable bracket allowed the lighting team to direct light precisely where it was needed — over the barbecue grills, dining tables, and gathering areas.

With a 10Ah rechargeable battery and USB charging capability, the units could be placed flexibly around the campsite without requiring fixed power infrastructure, making them ideally suited for outdoor events, construction sites, and emergency situations.
