The Halcyon story
Halcyon has been designing and supplying lighting in New Zealand since 1982. It designs and customises its downlights in-house, works with manufacturing partners in China and Europe, and assembles and ships from its own sites in the North and South Islands.
Halcyon publishes Supplier Declarations of Conformity for its products, along with the figures that matter in a downlight: colour rendering, colour consistency and flicker.

Share of lighting products that met key compliance requirements, by where they were sold
131 lighting products sold to Australian consumers, checked March–April 2026 by Lighting Council Australia, an industry body. 61% came from suppliers with no registration to sell electrical equipment in Australia.1
In 2026, an independent lab tested three downlights bought on online marketplaces for Lighting Council Australia. All three caught fire when exposed to heat and flame, and two were destroyed in a high-voltage test.2
About the brand
Downlights give even, background light across a room and work well alongside feature lights. Tilting downlights can be angled onto artwork, benches or shelving, and smart downlights let you change brightness and colour from your phone. A licensed electrician installs all downlights.
