At Social Light, we’re a boutique lighting studio specialising in thoughtful, well-designed residential and commercial projects.

Lighting is never just about choosing fittings. It’s about how a space feels, how it functions day to day, and how it supports the way you live or work. That’s why every project we take on is approached with care, curiosity, and a genuine love of good design.

Every project benefits from the combined expertise of our small, close-knit team:

• Kat - Interior and Product Designer with over 15 years’ experience across design, technical detail, and product development

• Renee - Senior Lighting Designer with more than 10 years’ experience in residential and commercial lighting

• Phil - Electrician with 25 years of hands-on installation and technical knowledge

Working together, we bring design thinking, technical clarity, and practical know-how to every project. The result is lighting that feels considered and unique, while also being practical, buildable, and technically sound.

A Boutique Service - By Design

We’re not a volume-based lighting store, and that’s very much by choice.

We intentionally limit the number of projects we take on so we can give each one the time, attention, and expertise it deserves. Good lighting takes time - to understand the architecture, how a space will be used, and what kind of atmosphere you want to create.

If you’re looking for a lighting partner who cares about the details and takes a long-term view, we’d love to talk.

Our Approach

We tend to work best with clients who enjoy being part of the process and value thoughtful guidance.

That might look like:

• Wanting expert advice, not just a shopping list

• Being open to collaboration, ideas, and learning along the way

• Understanding that great lighting comes from planning, experience, and creativity

Whether you’re after advice on product selection or support with a more developed lighting design, our focus is always the same - to create lighting that enhances how a space feels, functions, and lives.

Lighting isn’t just a product purchase. It’s a design discipline, and our process is shaped to make sure the end result feels cohesive, calm, and beautifully resolved.

Fees & Design Investment

Because every project is different, our lighting services are tailored to suit the scale, complexity, and level of support required.

We begin with a complimentary consultation, where we offer guidance, education, and high-level direction. This helps you understand what’s possible and what level of involvement will best support your project.

For projects that move beyond this initial stage - such as developed lighting concepts, layouts, documentation, or ongoing design input - we offer paid lighting design services. We’ll always talk this through with you first, outlining the scope clearly so you can decide what feels right.

Our aim is to be transparent and considered at every step, ensuring you’re investing in support that genuinely adds value to your space and the way you live or work.

Getting Started

Every project begins with a complimentary consultation.

This is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where we talk through your space, your ideas, and what you’d like help with. We’ll offer guidance, education, and high-level direction around lighting options and layout.

If your project needs more detailed design work - such as developed concepts, layouts, or documentation - we’ll talk through the next steps together, so everything feels clear and considered before moving forward.
