NEOZ is the pioneer in professional cordless table lighting, designing and manufacturing award-winning lamps for hospitality, commercial and residential environments worldwide.

With a focus on hospitality, NEOZ develops cordless lighting that gives venues greater freedom in how they use and configure their spaces. Without the constraints of power cords or fixed electrical connections, the lamps allow tables to be rearranged while preserving the atmosphere of the dining experience. Warm-white LEDs with a Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of 93+ provide excellent colour accuracy, helping food, interior finishes and skin tones appear natural.

The NEOZ collection includes a variety of forms and finishes. Piccolo is a compact lamp suited to restaurants where table space and flexibility are essential; Tall Poppy, featuring a rippled metal finish and recessed LEDs that produce a soft, glare-free glow; and Manhattan, which pairs a slender machined-brass column with fabric or glass shades inspired by the geometry of New York’s skyline. NEOZ also collaborates with designers and architectural lighting studios on limited-edition pieces.

For projects requiring a specific design response, NEOZ offers bespoke lampshades and customised finishes. Charging options range from individual docking bases to stations accommodating up to 48 lamps. Modular construction allows components to be maintained or replaced, supporting long-term product use. Every NEOZ cordless lamp is covered by a five-year warranty, with dedicated customer service and after-sales support available to clients worldwide.

In 1995, NEOZ introduced the world’s first cordless table lamp designed specifically for restaurant dining. The concept emerged from a project at Penfolds Magill Estate Restaurant in South Australia, where Ellis worked with Sydney architects Allen Jack+Cottier to develop the lighting. The brief called for an electric lamp that would allow tables to move freely without power cords. With no suitable battery systems available, Ellis engineered his own, creating the Magill cordless table lamp and establishing a new category within the lighting industry.

Every NEOZ product is designed, engineered and hand-assembled in Sydney, Australia. Led by CEO Jon Hemming, the business brings industrial design, electronics engineering and manufacturing together under one roof.  This in-house capability supports quality control and ongoing product development, while dedicated customer service and after-sales support provide assistance throughout the life of the product. NEOZ has received international design recognition, including the Red Dot Design Award, and continues to develop cordless lighting for the evolving needs of hospitality and interior design.
