Moth Light was founded in 2012 and is a team of architectural lighting professionals with over 35 years of experience. We’re a family business providing lighting solutions – specialising in architectural lighting design, product supply and project coordination.
We have showrooms in Auckland, Wellington and Napier, and our lighting services span across the urban, commercial, and residential sectors. We are passionate about innovative lighting ideas that enrich the lives of those who engage with our projects. Efficiency, in every sense of the word, is of paramount importance to us. We believe that clever design and intelligent products hold the key to using less.
We use high quality lighting products that stand the test of time, in both build and aesthetic quality. We are the BEGA and LED Luks distributor for NZ and a licensed distributor of the Offspring Profiles LED linear lighting systems including the Richie Rail illuminated handrail products.
In 2023, Moth Light and the successful architectural lighting company Rowe Light joined forces in a market extension merger, paving the way for enhanced services and expansion.
This strategic collaboration marked a significant milestone in both companies’ histories and represented a united effort to deliver unparalleled value and innovation to our customers. It’s no industry secret that Rowe Light and Moth Light enjoyed a very close business relationship and shared identical services and the distribution of the same products.
It all started in 2006 when Robin, after graduating with a design degree majoring in Industrial Design, joined one of NZ’s leading architectural lighting companies. He started Moth Light in 2012.
Along with the project management and technical skills gained during this early period of Robin’s career, a passion for lighting and product design was born.
Although Robin retains a small client base at Moth Light, most of his focus is now on the day-to-day management of both Moth Light and his other business, Offspring Profiles, and continued product and business development.
Robin tries to maintain some life balance with his 2 young children and a passion for mountain biking.
