Architectural lighting should enhance a space both day and night.

Our Up/Down Wall Light creates a striking visual effect by projecting light both upwards and downwards, adding depth, texture and visual interest to exterior walls. The carefully controlled beam distribution highlights architectural materials while creating a welcoming atmosphere around entrances, pathways and outdoor living areas.

Designed for New Zealand conditions and built to perform, it's a simple yet effective way to elevate the appearance of any architectural home.

Because great lighting isn't just about illumination - it's about creating an experience.

Available in either a corner-cut or straight-cut design, the Pillar Light 2 has been engineered to withstand New Zealand's demanding conditions, with an IP67 rating providing protection from coastal environments through to mountainous regions.

Designed to illuminate pathways, entrances, and landscape features while becoming a feature in its own right.

The best nighttime lighting doesn't demand attention, it quietly guides the way.

Warm colour temperatures combined with low-glare wayfinding illumination help create a calm, comfortable environment as the day comes to an end. By providing subtle illumination along pathways, stairs and circulation spaces, you can safely navigate your home without exposing your eyes to harsh light that may disrupt your body's natural wind-down process.

Our Multi-Lightz Eyelid delivers soft, directional lighting exactly where it's needed, enhancing both safety and comfort while preserving the ambience of your home.

Switch Lighting is designed for the way you live - day and night.

Great lighting design isn't just about the luminaire you choose - it's about where you place it.

With this inviting entranceway, the lighting design has been carefully considered to create both visual impact and functionality. Rather than positioning luminaires down the centre of the passage, the Switch Lighting ZELA Deep Tilt luminaires have been installed along the wall edge, allowing light to gently graze the textured feature wall and reveal its materiality.

Complementing this effect, Feature-Lightz luminaires have been strategically positioned to gently illuminate artwork and treasured pieces, creating welcoming focal points from the moment you arrive.

This layered approach to lighting transforms what could have been a simple corridor into an engaging architectural experience, highlighting the elements that matter most while maintaining excellent visual comfort.

This is lighting designed with purpose.

Ribbon lighting has become an essential tool in modern architectural lighting design, allowing designers to introduce subtle layers of light that enhance form, texture, and atmosphere. Whether integrated into kitchen cabinetry, recessed into ceiling details, concealed beneath floating vanities, highlighting shelving, or defining exterior architectural lines, strip lighting creates depth and visual interest without introducing visual clutter.

Switch Lighting's Ribbon Lighting range has been developed to deliver architectural-grade performance across a wide range of applications. The collection includes Ribbon Strip, Neon Strip, Aluminium Profiles, Drivers, and accessories, with options for interior and exterior installations. Available in 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, Tunable White, Sunset Dimming, and RGBW, the range allows lighting designers to tailor every project to its intended mood and function.

High CRI options ensure accurate colour rendering, while premium LEDs provide smooth, consistent illumination with excellent dimming performance. Combined with Switch Lighting Intelligent Controls, the range offers complete flexibility for both residential and commercial environments.

The result is a balanced lighting design that combines task, accent, and ambient illumination into one seamless architectural solution.

Beautiful craftsmanship deserves thoughtful illumination.

In this installation, our Mini-LIGHTZ luminaires have been skilfully installed into the joinery to accentuate the intricate details, colour and texture of these stunning blown glass pieces. Their compact size allows the artwork to take centre stage, while precise beam control ensures every detail is beautifully revealed.

It's a reminder that great lighting isn't about drawing attention to itself, it's about enhancing what matters most.

The most effective lighting isn't always direct. Indirect lighting creates a softer, more comfortable environment by washing ceilings with light and reducing harsh contrasts throughout a room.

The Switch Lighting Cirro Ceiling Washer has been designed to deliver a broad, even spread of illumination across the ceiling plane, creating a sense of spaciousness while minimising glare. Ideal for living areas, media rooms, hospitality spaces and architectural homes, it adds depth, warmth and visual comfort that traditional downlights simply can't achieve.
