About Aqualux Lighting

Welcome to Aqualux Lighting. Since our founding in 2006, directors Nick and Andrew Coppins, alongside their father Mike, have transformed our family’s legacy electronics business, Telectran, into one of Australia's premier outdoor lighting manufacturers.

For us, manufacturing isn't just a department - it’s in our DNA. Running a modern production facility requires an obsession with minute engineering details and a sharp eye on broad industry trends. Over the decades, we've honed our ability to adapt nimbly to the forces that shape our industry, all while keeping our roots firmly planted in Australian soil.

• Pre-2006: The Telectran Era Rooted in electronics manufacturing, we spent decades building the foundational engineering expertise that would ultimately power our transition into commercial lighting.
• 2006: Aqualux is Born Aqualux Lighting officially launched with our first Lumena range. From day one, we implemented rigorous field testing to guarantee long-term luminaire durability in Australia's notoriously harsh outdoor environments.
• 2006 — 2019: A Flexible Strategy As much of the Australian lighting industry moved entirely overseas, we adopted a hybrid model. We forged strong international partnerships but stubbornly retained our local manufacturing capabilities, predicting a day when "Made in Australia" would be actively sought after once again.
• 2020 & Beyond: The Local Revival When global supply chains fractured, we were ready. We launched a sustained program of investment in our Frenchs Forest headquarters, building a state-of-the-art CNC machine shop, a fully integrated powder coating line, and a surface finishing line. Today, we fabricate advanced luminaires from raw materials right here in Sydney.

• Local First Design, manufacturing, assembly, and repair—all executed under one roof at our modern Sydney facility.
• Technology-Driven We stay at the cutting edge of lighting tech, pioneering innovations like our ground-breaking 2-Wire COB technology to solve real-world installation challenges.
• A Love for Lighting From our advanced in-house design and testing lab to our precision CNC machine shop, we're obsessed with the details of great illumination. Call it a lumen love affair.

Building a sustainable future means actively minimizing our demand on the ecosystem. We don't just talk about sustainability; we've hardwired it into our daily operations.

• 100% Renewable Energy: Our factory operations are powered entirely by renewable sources, driven by a 40kW solar PV array on our facility's roof.
• Closed-Loop Manufacturing: Our powder coating pre-treatment process utilizes a sophisticated, fully closed-loop ion-exchange system. It filters wastewater and refreshes our rinse tanks to near-total purity.
• Zero Single-Use Plastics: We've completely overhauled our packaging supply chain. We now use paper-based shipping equipment, home-compostable satchels, 100% plant-derived bubble wrap, and an Australian-made bio-alternative for pallet wrapping.
• Efficient Operations: We practice what we preach. We redesigned our own factory floor lighting using custom ultra-low glare optics and mid-power CREE LEDs to ensure maximum energy efficiency while we work.
