The Planet Lighting design tradition heralds back to the early 1900s, when founder WA Iggulden set up Bentley Mfg Co in Melbourne to produce building tools to patented designs. Since the 1930s Planet has been manufacturing lights, including the iconic Australian classic, the Studio K desk lamp. Over the years, the Planet Lighting facilities have expanded to include handblown artisan glassblowing facilities, a high tech LED laboratory and state of the art CNC equipment to ensure high quality in-house capability, and a comprehensive approach to lighting manufacturing.

Planet was one of the first manufacturers to embrace the emerging LED technology and have a track record of incorporating LEDs in custom design for over a decade. The FMC range was one of Australia’s first commercially available LED downlights and the ingenious LED Puck revolutionised handrail lighting, winning awards nationally and abroad. Planet has since developed a range of high-performance LED downlights including the cyanosis and MRI downlights, which are the only approved LED downlights of their kind to be used in medical applications. Additionally, our medical range has grown to incorporate new LED medical examination lights, over-bed lights and a complete range of minor and major surgical lights.
