Our Story
Q Industries is a leading, family-owned Australian lighting company that specialises in lighting manufacture and design for commercial, industrial and residential projects. Based in Epping, Victoria, the company was founded by
Chris Kavanagh in 2005.
With more than 45 years of experience in the electrical and construction industry, Chris was joined by his son in 2012, Jackson, who drives the company’s innovation and technology agenda.
Since then Q Industries has built a highly regarded team that handles everything from luminaire design through to project delivery. It now boasts a state-of-the-art research/development facility that is equipped with an industry-leading photometric lab and custom-built dark room for luminaire testing and design.
Over the years the company has delivered an impressive record of successful projects for high-profile clients including the MCG, Melbourne Museum, AGL, NAB, ANZ, David Jones, Monash University, RMIT University, Melbourne University and both the Victorian and Queensland Governments.
Using only the highest quality European componentry, we are able to custom- manufacture luminaires for a diverse range of projects, whatever the requirement.
“We want to provide the highest possible quality product at a fair price,” says Chris. “Because we are a family company, we are driven by those values and take great care to build lasting relationships with our clients. We have a hands-on approach and pride ourselves on strong after-sales service and support.”
Our Ethos
We are people-focused. If we encounter a problem we take the time to resolve it. Client satisfaction is deeply important to us.
We take safety seriously and ensure that all of our luminaires are well above minimum Australian lighting and electrical equipment compliance standards.
As a family-owned, Australian company we care about supporting the local economy, creating jobs and being a responsible corporate citizen. This includes our strong commitment to the environment, which is reflected by our construction, recycling and low-impact packaging policies.
Project Capabilities
We assemble high quality luminaires using European-made componentry including Phillips, Osram and Tridonic. We can also manufacture custom luminaires in a large range of sizes and colours for projects with complex or special requirements.
We offer lighting design and calculations using AGi32, the leading software program for 3-D lighting simulation. We’re passionate about creating healthy environments for everyone – environments that promote both mental and physical wellbeing.
Our in-house design team can create anything from simple solutions through to full CAD designs in AGi32 including lux plots, rendering, J6 and Australia Standards compliance documentation. Read more about our work here.
Research & Development
As well as testing, our lab enables us to accommodate tailored requests for luminaires and deliver elegant solutions to sophisticated and complex lighting challenges. We can also provide detailed CAD documentation of the luminaires, if required.
Q Industries is committed to innovation and staying at the forefront of technology and design. We are constantly developing and altering luminaires in order to improve their capabilities. Our goal is to consistently produce high quality product that is efficient, durable and reliable.
Environmental Commitment
We are committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2022 and believe that as a lighting manufacturer and supplier we should be leading by example through promoting green energy, saving energy and providing healthy working environments for our staff.
