Our Story

It never quite felt right to me to finish an electrical project that I felt could be enhanced through design.

After working as a sparky in the electrical industry for over 8 years in both New Zealand and Australia, I recall completing my project tasks and thinking there are too many lights for this space or I wish I could add spot lighting to draw attention to the artwork or this space would feel more comfortable with warmer lighting levels. 

I knew that my role as a sparky was sometimes narrow, and I saw an opportunity to expand my expertise to create lighting solutions with a more integrated approach. So, I set out to merge thoughtful design and creativity with my technical knowledge of the trade. 

After completing the Lighting Design program through Massey College, I started Pretty Sweet Lighting to follow-though with my idea. Just like a photographer paints light with his or her lens, we paint with light using fixtures, fittings placement to bring your home or business to life in a creative way.

With Wanaka as our playground, we aim to achieve unique designer lighting installations for residential and commercial properties. We don’t stop there, however, and offer a full range of lighting and electrical solutions, from custom design to everyday maintenance.
