FAQ's

 

Where is zlights based?

We are Australian owned and quite proud of this fact! Founded in late 2018. Our head office is based in Hurstville NSW Australia, with a branch coming soon to New Zealand.

Does zlights offer a custom-made lighting service?
We can custom manufacture lighting pieces to your specifications. We are also constantly updating our products available online. If you want a particular model that is not available on our website, contact us at orders@zlights.com.au

How early should I order light fittings for my project?

We recommend finalising for delivery 3-4 months prior to the date you lighting is due to be installed. This allows for delays in availability and shipping from overseas or production here. Holding off on these decisions can mean that quality of the light fittings available is significantly reduced and, given you’ll be living with your lighting every day, it makes sense to get ahead of the game and make sure you get what you want – not just what’s on the shelf.

Why are there different lead-times on different products?

We have production facilities both in Australia and internationally. This naturally means, production lead-times / delivery schedules are different, locally produced items tend to be more prompt.

Can zlights design a lighting plan for my private residence or commercial space?

Absolutely we can, we can incorporate both functional essential lighting like downlights and decorative elements like pendants or chandeliers. The fee for this service is based on the complexity and involvement of the designs required.

Why is the custom lighting production lead-time so long?

Custom made lighting involves many different processes, metal/glass fabrication, pre-construction, electrical fit out, powder coating/anodizing and finally testing and compliance. This is the reality of bespoke designs and one we are extremely proud to offer.

Do we have a showroom?
At this stage we don’t have an official showroom, due to sheer quantity of lighting pieces and customisations we have available. We do offer on-site consults in Sydney metropolitan area and have a great returns process in place, to ensure your totally satisfied with your purchase.

When should I book the electrician?
We understand that it is tempting to book your electrician well in advance. However, we strongly recommend holding off your electrician appointment until after you have received your order. This would allow for an adequate amount of time to ensure the contents of your order have arrived safely and to accommodate for any unexpected delay in delivery, which is unfortunately beyond our direct control.
