Our Story

Our story began in Melbourne in 1967 with a single store and the drive to brighten up people's lives. Since then, we've grown to become Australia's leading specialist retailer of lights, ceiling fans and light globes, with over 110 stores nationwide and a team of over 1000 people.

We proudly lead the way when it comes to innovation and the latest technology. Our extensive product ranges, many of which are exclusive to us, are designed to create a positive impact on your life.

Our buyers shop the brightest styles and ideas from around the world to bring you the very latest on-trend looks. And you’ll find each of our stores staffed by accredited lighting consultants and specialists who are here to help enhance your space with the right choices.

With power costs rising to record levels and the need for environmentally conscious products, the lighting industry has seen many changes over the years. What hasn’t changed is our passion and commitment to providing our customers with the widest range of energy-efficient lighting and cooling solutions combined with industry expertise and top-of-the-line service.

We’re proud of our humble beginnings and the progress we’ve made to get to where we are today. With our customers as our focus and backed by over 50 years of experience, we can confidently look ahead to an even brighter future.
