Live Brighter
At Beacon, we help you live brighter by taking care of your health and the health of our planet. So, we design innovative products that not only help you breathe easier, sleep well and feel better every day but also reduce your impact on the environment.
Everything you do affects your health in different ways. This includes the way you plan your lighting inside your home, your choice of fittings and how you use them. Read on to learn more about how choosing the right products can help you live a healthier life.
Live Well
Research from Monash University shows that lighting affects our health, productivity, mood, and sleep. We spend much of our lives relying on artificial indoor lighting. Therefore, it’s so important to select the right light for the task and time of day to support a healthy circadian rhythm.
To help our customers improve their overall health and wellbeing, we've engineered a range of lighting with variable colour and intensity settings to match and support your biological sleep-wake cycle. We call it the Live Well range.
Using advanced circadian-friendly technology, this range reduces flicker and blue light at the warmest light levels to relieve eye strain and light-induced headaches. Plus, it supports a better quality of sleep. With Live Well, you can set your lighting to help you wake up refreshed, stay energised at work and play, relax in the evening, and sleep better at night.

Sleep Better with the Right Lighting
Humans have a natural 24-hour circadian rhythm that guides sleep and wake cycles. Once aligned with sunrise and sunset, it’s now disrupted by artificial light after dark—impacting sleep, mood and health. The good news? It can be reset.
Use smart lighting to support your sleep-wake cycle
It’s easy to forget to adjust lighting—let smart lighting do it for you. Set lights to dim, warm tones before bed, and schedule a gradual shift to bright, cool light in the morning to mimic sunrise and help you wake refreshed.
Match your light to the time of day
During the day, use cool white lights (3500K - 6000K) to mimic daylight. When night approaches, change the colour temperature to a warm white (1800K - 3000K) to help you wind down and relax. We have a variety of lighting options to support your wellbeing.
Sanso
We rely on air and light for our health and wellbeing. But when we spend so much of our lives indoors, we breathe in any pollutants, spores, and pollens that are trapped inside. Furthermore, artificial lighting is our leading source of illumination, and that can upset our circadian rhythm, making it difficult to focus during the day and affecting our quality of sleep.
Designed in-house
We saw the need to develop the technology to address these fundamental needs, and over the course of several years of research, discussion, and testing, we developed Sanso.
Sanso EvOne is an innovative 3-in-1 air purifier, ioniser, and multi-functional light. It was designed in Australia and is the world’s first ceiling-mounted air purifier that incorporates a Live Well Day Night Sleep LED light to support your circadian rhythm. While cleaning and circulating the air you breathe, Sanso monitors pollution levels and automatically adjusts to ensure your home remains clean and safe at all times.
Functional, practical, and stylish air purification.
Breathe better with air purifiers
Every breath we take, we inhale pollutants, some visible and others invisible. Dust, vehicle emissions, bacteria, viruses, pollen and smoke from the outside find their way into our homes adding to the pollutants already present inside including cooking fumes, mould spores, pet hair and dander. With many of us now spending more time indoors working and studying, it's important to think about the quality of the air we're breathing and how we can create cleaner, healthier spaces at home.
How air purifiers can help
Air purifiers purify the air in your home with the help of powerful filters that capture 99.95% of pollutants and allergens and release clean air into your home. This means elimination of asthma and other allergy triggers, reduction in the spread of airborne illnesses and neutralisation of unpleasant odours.
Australia's largest range of fans
We all know what Australian summers can be like: hot, humid and uncomfortable. It’s not easy to focus on work when you’re sweaty or get a good night’s sleep either. This is when ceiling fans are an absolute necessity, to get that air moving and help you feel more at ease, relaxed and less tired. In winter, fans continue to deliver comfort with their reverse mode which pushes the warm air gathered near the ceiling back in your space helping to reduce heating costs.
Just like lighting, ceiling fans can also be controlled with an app on your phone or voice commands. Just pair them with a smart fan remote or smart wall switch.
DC Fan Technology
While all ceiling fans are energy-efficient, ceiling fans that are powered by direct current (DC) are even bigger energy-savers. The secret is in their motor technology which enables them to consume very little energy and yet produce a powerful airflow. What’s more, they cost just about 1 cent an hour to run!
Globes
All globes are not created equal and there are many reasons to pay attention to the types of globes we use in our lights. For instance, using the right colour temperature in the right room for the right task. Cool white light during the day keeps you more focused and alert while working and cooking and is perfect for your study, home office and kitchen. Warm white light helps the body to relax and prepare for sleep so it’s useful in living rooms and bedrooms where you unwind at the end of the day.
Another reason globes are important is because they can help you save energy, money and the planet. LED globes consume way less energy than halogens and last much longer, helping you reduce your power bills and reducing the number of globes that end up in landfill. Even the material makes a difference. Glass globes are more energy-efficient than plastic globes and 100% recyclable!
Save energy with sensors
Exterior lights with built-in motion sensors turn on when they detect movement deterring intruders and keep your home safe. Because they turn on only when they detect motion, they also reduce energy consumption and in turn, your power bills. If you like a specific fitting and it doesn’t have a built-in sensor, don’t worry, you can add a recessed sensor like our Alert separately.
With the environment facing new challenges every day, it’s important that we do our bit to minimise our impact. One way to do this is through using energy-efficient products that consume less energy while still providing comfort and style.
