Over 20 years in the business we’ve developed a very good understanding of the industry and how to best support our clients. We are transparent in all we do, and generous in sharing our expertise.
We live and breathe design, channelling each dazzling ray of creativity into every lighting project —be it office fit out, lighting for data centres, or funky gym lighting- delivering your vision with intelligence and beauty.
Making light work.
Our in-house team is a perfect balance of creatives, technicians and project managers. This finely tuned balance allows us to successfully deliver every element of your commercial lighting project, from consultation and product specification, to project management and tailored lighting design. Adding value, to deliver a return on your investment.

Who we are today.
A company of dedicated designers and technicians with well over 2,500 commercial lighting projects under our belt.
And at 299 we encourage every light to shine. So, meet the team; together we are The Light Engineers.
