**About Beacon Lighting**
Our story began in Melbourne in 1967 with a single store and the drive to brighten up people's lives. Since then, we’ve grown to become Australia’s leading specialist retailer of lights, ceiling fans and light globes, with over 115 stores nationwide and a team of over 1,000 people in Australia and beyond. Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. And it’s their wellbeing that drives us to develop stylish, innovative and energy-efficient products that help them live brighter, live lighter, live cooler, live warmer, live well, live smarter and to simply, live life.
