EcoLuma was founded in 2018 by siblings Claire and Michael Thornton, who grew up in rural Australia where power outages were frequent and energy costs were sky-high. As engineers with backgrounds in renewable energy, they became fascinated with the potential of smart lighting to dramatically reduce household energy consumption.
Starting with a small workshop in Sydney's tech district, the Thorntons assembled a team of lighting designers, software engineers, and sustainability experts with a shared vision: to create lighting solutions that were both beautiful and exceptionally energy-efficient.
The company's first product—a smart ambient lamp that used 90% less energy than conventional lighting—quickly gained attention in the Australian home design community. By 2020, EcoLuma had expanded its product line to include a comprehensive ecosystem of connected lighting solutions designed specifically for Australian homes.
Today, EcoLuma has grown to become Australia's leading sustainable lighting brand, with showrooms in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Our team of 45 passionate professionals continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in energy-efficient lighting, with a relentless focus on design excellence and environmental responsibility.
