Why Stoane Lighting?

30 years of lighting experience

Since 1995, we have been designing and making all of our own products in Edinburgh, Scotland. This gives us complete control over the light-making process and allows us to be flexible and responsive to the sometimes weird and wonderful requests that come our way. We learned our trade in the halogen days and were perfectly poised to reap the many benefits that the disruptive arrival of LEDs brought with them.

A comprehensive range of standard products are available to suit a variety of applications worldwide, including museums and galleries, places of worship, high end retail, hospitality, workplace, residential and marine applications. As we make to order with the best components available and we can customise even standard products to suit project needs; be that a custom mount method or a special finish.

Infinitely curious, perfectionist by nature, we continually strive to make things way better by making things in a better way.

King's Awards for Enterprise

The King’s Awards for Enterprise are awarded to businesses for outstanding achievement in four categories; International Trade, Innovation, Sustainable Development and Promoting Opportunity (through social mobility). They are the highest official UK awards for British businesses.

We were honoured in 2024 to learn that we had won not one, but two awards. First in the category Innovation specifically for our spearhead ZTA product family and second, in the Sustainable Development category which recognises our sustainable practices, leadership and commitment to driving positive change within the lighting industry.

Who we are and what we do

Designed and manufactured in Scotland

Making to order brings a slightly longer leadtime but is a direct trade off for being able to offer a completely tailored service. Wasteful surplus stock is completely avoided.

We are also well known for producing entirely bespoke one-off specials. From one single 14.5m long chandelier to almost 1,000 individually folded gold steel pendants, our capability and experience (and appetite for a challenge) ensures breathtaking and often award winning results.

Our purpose

Stoane Lighting became a certified B Corp in December 2020. B Corp companies are part of a community of for-profit businesses that pledge best practice across five pillars: Environment, Governance, Workers, Community and Customers.

Having our design and manufacturing practices independently audited from an environmental perspective was a strong motivator for applying. It is also important to us to recognise the impact that our company has in other areas too, including the way we work with our colleagues, our customers and our broader community.

We have been an employee owned business since 2014. Our Employee Ownership Trust model is set up so that the majority shareholder will always be the Trust. Our staff are beneficiaries of the Trust; allowing us all to have a voice, maintain the company’s ethos and protect its legacy. Employee ownership gives us rights that employees of other companies don’t always have and with this comes the responsibility to ensure the company’s success.
