Sphera

What Sphera does

Sphera Pty Ltd is an Australian privately-held architectural lighting company headquartered in Richmond, Melbourne, founded in 2015. The company designs, supplies, and supports premium luminaires and lighting systems for interior, exterior, decorative, and commercial applications across residential, retail, hospitality, workplace, and wellness environments in Australia. Its core technology is built around LED lighting with precision optics, high colour-rendering photometric performance, and Australian-standards-compliant engineering, delivered alongside IES photometric files that allow architects and engineers to specify products accurately.

The product portfolio is organised into four categories (Interior, Exterior, Decorative, Commercial) plus an architectural wiring offering from Genuit, with proprietary ranges such as Cilindro, Novo, Perri, Tubo Mini, Three Circuit Track, and Lea, complemented by exclusive Australian distribution of the Italian Diomede brand (Gler Sun, Lucignolo, Tasca, Zero Dome, Lila, Zeus, Sofia, Muse Spot 02, DX). Many products support industry-standard controls including DALI, Casambi, and WIFI dimming. Sphera also offers product customisation, lighting design services (technical drawings, calculations, 3D visualisations), and lighting analysis as add-on services.

Commercially, Sphera runs a B2B specification-led sales motion targeting architects, designers, and engineers directly, with project-based quotation pricing, 8-10 week typical delivery lead times, 30-day payment terms, and a deposit requirement on orders. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales and associated professional services; no recurring or subscription revenue model is in place. The firm employs 1-10 people, operates from a single Melbourne location, and has no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors.
