HISTORY
We’re market leaders and pioneers in lighting technology. Enhancing environments, illuminating spaces and delighting customers for over 39 years.
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.
1986
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.
1990
We print our first ever lighting catalogue featuring a range of 30+ metal halide, halogen and compact fluorescent downlights and spotlights.
1991
We reach a new milestone when our PF04 70W and 150W metal halide downlight becomes our best-selling luminaire.
1995
Our first company website is launched, delivering better access to information and improved communication, with the aim of growing the brand nationally.
2003
The success continues. We relocate to a new building in Rosebery after outgrowing our previous production facility.
2009
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.
2010
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.
2012
We've relocated to a larger head office and warehouse in Mascot, featuring ample space for office operations, production, and a 3000 sqm storage and distribution facility. Additionally, we've opened a new sales office in Brisbane to better serve our expanding Queensland customer base..
2016
We’re awarded the Westpac Business of Tomorrow Award. This award recognises outstanding Australian businesses that are shaping the future.
2018
We open a sales office in Melbourne to better service the market and support our local clients and partners on the Australian eastern seaboard.
2019
We're thrilled to announce our new, expanded head office in Mascot, home to our head, sales, and creative teams. Additionally, we've launched our sister company, Trend Laboratories, specializing in photometric testing and design services for the lighting industry.
2020
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.
2021
We have started photometric testing at our Sydney laboratory using advanced equipment like a near-field goniophotometer and spectroradiometer. This new technology allows us to enhance our products by precisely analyzing luminous intensity, beam distribution, color consistency, quality, and spectral distribution of each luminaire.
2022
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.
