enLighten Australia was formed to design and supply highly efficient, intelligent lighting using LED technology for commercial and industrial properties. Co-founder and CEO Steve Cahill's extensive local and international experience in commercial property facilities management positioned enLighten to understand and anticipate LED lighting upgrade opportunities.
Steve recognised the growing energy efficiency retrofit market potential in Australia, supported by rising energy prices, the NABERS energy rating scheme and Government incentive programs such as the Commonwealth Green Building fund and state based energy savings schemes.
After a year of extensive product research incorporating domestic and international testing, submission of several lighting patent applications, enLighten began taking its products to the market in November 2009.

For many years, building owners and managers have not had available cost effective lighting solutions for low occupancy areas such as fire stairs, car parks and back of house. These are often permanently lit, even though they are occupied for only a small percentage of the day. Viewing this as an unnecessary waste of energy, the enLighten innovation team developed Chamaeleon – a multi-function light that delivers full light levels when the space is occupied and low level light the balance of the time.
With an award win under our belt and strong Chamaeleon sales results, enLighten successfully went to the private equity market for expansion capital raising in late 2011, enabling the company to fast track the development of its new product range. The Tauro Blu LED high bay & low bay light range was launched in April 2013, followed by the Zorro LED area light and Medici utility lights in 2014. Further developments of controls within lights, including the car park entry system, office lighting controls and an expansive suite of outdoor lights have all been selected to expand our product offering to our clients.
