Our latest generation of cordless lamps features our advanced LED technology and proven hardware, and it's accompanied by a new range of beautifully designed diffusers crafted in resin, timber, metal, glass, and polymer.

Today, we concentrate on quality design, function, and construction, all backed by solid customer service.

2010'S NEW TECHNOLOGIES

After three years of research and development, we have developed a new range of LED bulbs with an industry-leading color rendering of 95+ CRI. Unlike cheaper counterparts, these LEDs are visually indistinguishable from traditional halogens. All EMPTYOO Cordless Lamps are now standard fitted with these specially developed LEDs, delivering an 80% energy saving and a 50,000-hour lifespan.

MID 1990'S BIRTH OF THE CORDLESS LAMP

The cordless has its roots back in 1995. That's when we worked on the lighting design for a restaurant with Sydney architects.

A significant challenge with restaurant lighting is their need to move tables around and illuminate them appropriately. The chief architect asked if we could design an electric lamp without a cord to solve this problem.

He thought candles were messy and didn't provide enough light. We said yes, and so began the design and development process.

What surprised us at the time was that no off-the-shelf battery recharging systems would suit our requirements. So we designed our own, precisely to our needs.

1980'S IN THE BEGINNING

When founder and owner Steve Gothe built his first house and founded EMPTYOO in 1984, our mission was to create original luminaires of the highest quality construction and design.

With an eye for detail and a penchant for process improvement, Steve created a fail-safe approach to selecting the right lighting fixture for the first time and helped countless homeowners learn the lighting design concepts.

Soon after, Steve brought his passion and approach online so that you can accomplish designer-grade results with minimal stress or difficulty.

This led to a new online facility and warehouse, from which Steve could serve the country with his new home improvement vision.
