A tradition of excellence

We’ve been pushing the boundaries of what design, technology and lighting can achieve since 1986.

We’ve been market leaders in the Australian lighting industry for almost four decades, pushing the boundaries of what design, technology and lighting can achieve since 1986.



From humble beginnings as a small local business, we now employ 50+ people in three cities, Australia-wide. Over the decades we’ve developed into three distinct brands, with multiple divisions. Our history gives us the knowledge and experience to meet the functional and aesthetic requirements of every client. Our product range has evolved over the years to do the same. By drawing on our background in delivering innovative lighting solutions of the highest quality, we can add value to every lighting project. That’s why our clients trust us.

Timeline
Lighting the way since 1986

From humble beginnings as a small local business, we now employ 50+ people in three cities, Australia-wide. Over the decades we’ve developed into three distinct brands, with multiple divisions.

1986

Trend Lighting opens after an electrical contractor in Pagewood, NSW sees an opportunity in the Australian lighting industry. Our Trend icon is designed this year – and still in use to this day.

1990

Our quality products and great customer service bring early success, allowing us to take a big step forward and establish a production facility in Sydney’s inner south.

1991

We print our first ever lighting catalogue featuring a range of 30+ metal halide, halogen and compact fluorescent downlights and spotlights.

1995

We reach a new milestone when our PF04 70W and 150W metal halide downlight becomes our best-selling luminaire.

2003

Our first company website is launched, delivering better access to information and improved communication, with the aim of growing the brand nationally.

2009

The success continues. We relocate to a new building in Rosebery after outgrowing our previous production facility.

2010

With technological advancements in LED lighting, we begin research and development into LED technology. We hire our first designer who is responsible for lighting designs and producing Trend’s first catalogue.

2011

After 25 years of innovation, production and exceptional customer service, we celebrate our biggest milestone – 25 years of Trend Lighting. This year we also release our first LED luminaire, the XDA13, followed closely by the XDM28 and XDL52.

2012

Our business develops further amid increasing demand for LED luminaires. Our production increases and we open a new manufacturing plant. Shortly after, we launch our first LED lighting catalogue with the addition of over 25+ LED luminaires.

2016

We move to a larger head office and warehouse in Mascot, with enough room to house the company’s office space, production facility and a 3000 sqm warehouse for storage and distribution. We also open a new sales office in Brisbane to cater to the growing requirements of our Queensland customer base.

2018

We’re awarded the Westpac Business of Tomorrow Award. This award recognises outstanding Australian businesses that are shaping the future.

2019

We open a sales office in Melbourne to better service the market and support our local clients and partners on the Australian eastern seaboard.

2020

Investment in our facilities continues and we announce our expansion plans for a company head office in Mascot. Our new office building now houses the head/sales division of the company along with our creative division. This is the year that we introduce our sister company – Trend Laboratories – specialising in interior design and testing, photometric testing and design services for the lighting industry.

2021

We reach our biggest milestone and celebrate 35 years of staff dedication, product innovation and customer satisfaction. We also announce the launch of Trend For Trade – lighting products that exclusively cater to the wholesale and trade market.

2022

We commence photometric testing at our in-house laboratory in Sydney using a near-field goniophotometer and spectroradiometer. The arrival of this state-of-the-art photometric testing technology helps us refine our products further by giving us vital information on the luminous intensity, beam distribution, colour consistency, colour quality and spectral distribution of each lumianire.

2023

We are embracing growth and change – and becoming more future-focused. We redesign our brand to symbolise our ambition for unity and growth, combining our strengths from the past with our excitement for the future. We launch a new website that demonstrates our stronger identity and a shift to greater sustainability.
