The Art of Light

Where light does more than illuminate

For more than three decades, LightEFX has worked on projects where conventional lighting is not enough where the goal is not just illumination, but atmosphere, safety, energy efficiency, acoustic control, sensory engagement, or delivering natural daylight deeper into a building.

We design. We manufacture. We install. And we stay involved from the first conversation through to ongoing support.

Our story

 

1992

Foundation in manufacturing

Established in Croydon South, Victoria, manufacturing electrical wiring looms and harnesses for the OEMs.

 

2004

Fibre optic lighting range introduced

LightEFX becomes a dedicated fibre optic lighting specialist. Manufacturing LED illuminators for star light applications in signage and star ceilings.

 

2012

StarEFX brand launched

StarEFX emerges as its own sub-brand, dedicated to theatre and cinema star ceiling panels and sensory lighting environments marking the beginning of LightEFX’s move into acoustic and human-centric lighting applications.

 

2014

Natural daylighting systems added

LightEFX extends capability to include heliostat systems that deliver full-spectrum natural daylight deeper into buildings addressing the growing body of evidence connecting natural light to occupant health, productivity, and wellbeing.

 

Today

Human Centric Ecosystem launched

Integrated, networked lighting systems for healthcare, commercial, sensory, and hospitality environments. Operating in Australia (Melbourne, VIC) and the United States (Phoenix, AZ), with an authorised dealer and installer network across both markets.

What we do

LightEFX specialises in four alternative lighting technologies, each applied where standard lighting cannot deliver the required outcome, whether that’s safety in wet environments, sensory engagement, acoustic performance, or bringing natural daylight into spaces without direct window access.

Since 2004

Fibre Optic Lighting

Fibre optic systems transmit light without electrical current or heat at the point of emission inherently safe for pools, spas, wet areas, and children’s environments. Applications include star ceilings, pool and perimeter lighting, sensory rooms, and feature walls.

Since 2014

Natural Daylighting

Heliostat optical technology that delivers full-spectrum natural light into spaces without direct window or skylight access. Reduces reliance on artificial lighting and addresses environments where natural light is a health and performance requirement.

StarEFX — since 2012

Acoustic Lighting Panels

Our StarEFX panel range combines measured sound absorption with integrated fibre optic star effects resolving both acoustic performance and visual atmosphere in a single ceiling or wall element.
