The NEOZ Story

The NEOZ Story

NEOZ designs and manufactures professional cordless table lighting for hospitality and design-led interiors worldwide. Our work is shaped by the details that matter in real environments: consistency from table to table, balance of light and shadow, and dependable performance night after night. Every product is created to feel naturally suited to its setting while delivering uncompromising durability and technical performance. The values that guide everything we make - integrity, craftsmanship, innovation, and a deep sense of responsibility to our customers, our craft and the world around us - are the same values that have shaped NEOZ for more than forty years.
The NEOZ Story

Est. 1995

Pioneering cordless lighting

Founded in Australia in 1983, NEOZ has spent more than four decades exploring how light supports atmosphere, experience and place. In 1995, the company developed the world's first professional cordless table lamp, responding to the operational demands of fine-dining environments where flexibility, performance and ambience are essential. Designed by founder and industrial designer Peter Ellis, the concept established a new category - and set the vision that continues to guide NEOZ today: to lead the world in cordless lighting that quietly transforms the environments it inhabits. That original breakthrough also set the tone for an enduring culture of innovation, one that still drives how we design, engineer, work in teams and refine every product today.

NEOZ cordless lighting systems are now specified in leading venues across more than 100 countries, spanning restaurants, bars, hotels, resorts and superyachts. While global in reach, the work remains grounded in hospitality, shaped by how lighting is specified, handled and used in demanding commercial settings.

Our people

Built by people, shaped by expertise

NEOZ is defined as much by its people as by its products. CEO Jon Hemming has brought together expertise across industrial design, electronics engineering, manufacturing and hospitality insight. This multidisciplinary approach fosters a culture of innovation in which ideas move seamlessly from concept through to production and long-term use, and where every discipline contributes to solving real operational challenges.

Designed, engineered and hand-assembled in Sydney, Australia, every NEOZ product reflects this integrated way of working. As a certified Australian Made brand, we design, manufacture and ship from Sydney - a commitment that goes beyond origin, representing our standard for quality, craftsmanship and support for local manufacturing. Close collaboration between designers, engineers and makers ensures control over quality, performance and longevity, while allowing the collection to evolve alongside new technologies, materials and operational requirements.

The same care we bring to our products shapes how we work with everyone around us. Our team, our clients, our partners and our suppliers are treated with the same respect and honesty we expect of ourselves. These are the values in practice: we believe good business is built on trust, and that the relationships we invest in are as important as the products we create.

Technology

Design-driven. Technology-led.

NEOZ balances expressive, character-led design with rigorous technical performance. From compact lamps suited to minimal footprints and high table density, to more sculptural and architectural forms, each product is carefully resolved to deliver precise, atmospheric light in demanding hospitality environments.

Cordless technology enables freedom of placement, intuitive service and consistent ambience across a venue. Our sixth-generation N1 Cordless Light Engine is the clearest expression of our culture of innovation - delivering class-leading colour rendering, all-day battery life, faster charging and IP64 dust and water resistance, all within a more refined and sustainable architecture. Each generation builds on the last, reflecting a steady commitment to advancing what cordless lighting can do.

Hospitality

Made for life in hospitality

Hospitality environments demand precision. Lighting is handled constantly, moved frequently and expected to perform reliably over long service hours. Our mission is straightforward: to create cordless lighting that is robust, intuitive and dependable - without compromising on aesthetics or experience - so that every venue we serve can perform at its best, every night.

A modular design philosophy sits at the core of the collection. Key components are serviceable, repairable and updatable, supporting long product lifespans while helping venues maintain consistency as interiors evolve. Parts remain available for products decades after release, reflecting a practical and responsible approach to sustainability and lifecycle value. Using fewer components and building products that last is not just good design - it is how we believe things should be made, and it is central to the values that define our work.

Collaboration

Collaborative by nature

NEOZ works closely with architects, designers, hoteliers, operators and procurement teams to deliver site-specific lighting solutions. Flexibility across form, finish and performance — from bespoke lampshades to tailored recharging systems — ensures each solution responds to both design intent and operational needs.

Design-driven, technology-led and shaped by the expertise of the people behind it, NEOZ continues to refine the art and engineering of cordless lighting. Guided by a clear vision, a focused mission, a consistent set of values and an culture of innovation, we create objects that integrate seamlessly into service, space and experience - while quietly elevating the environments they inhabit.
