Our Story

Beacon Lighting started in Melbourne in 1967 with a single store and a vision to brighten people’s homes. Today, we’ve grown into Australia’s leading specialist in lighting, ceiling fans, and globes, with over 130 stores nationwide. Our team includes lighting consultants, in-house designers, and product experts who are passionate about helping customers find the right lighting solutions.

We lead the way in innovation, energy efficiency, and smart technology, with most of our range designed here in Australia by our in-house team. Our buyers travel the world to bring back the latest ideas, but it’s our designers who translate them into collections tailored to Australian homes and lifestyles. Many of our products are exclusive to Beacon, ensuring our customers have access to unique designs that balance style, functionality, and sustainability.

Beyond homes, we support architects, designers, and businesses with tailored lighting solutions through Beacon Lighting Commercial, Connected Light Solutions, Masson For Light, Custom Lighting, and our international operations in New Zealand, Hong Kong, Germany, the USA, and China.
