Hi
In UK today, there  are huge numbers of lighting companies, all of which call themselves “lighting designers and manufacturers”

For example, there’s………………………

Acdclighting.co.uk
https://londonlighting.co.uk/
https://www.endon.co.uk/
https://www.keslighting.co.uk/
https://www.darlighting.co.uk/
https://www.whitecroftlighting.com/

…and literally 100’s and 100’s more.
None of them seem to employ any electronics engineers.
When you look on linkedin, none of these companies seem to have any electronics engineers.
So who designs the ballasts and the  LED drivers  for them?
Is all their stock from China? (ie all the ballasts and LED drivers and Switch mode power supplies)

A lighting designer isn't about designing electronics but choosing the right lamps and fixtures for a particular purpose. They don't need EEs for that. EEs would probably suck at that job.
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

Looking at the links. All of those companies are retailers / distributors. If you look at their ranges, they buy from many different manufacturers.

Lighting design is about optics. Whether they use a halogen bulb or an LED solution is moot, the light sources come from outside.
