About Bonusmeridian

Twenty-four years of getting the light right

Bonusmeridian started as a two-person fitting crew working out of a Regency Park warehouse, mostly hanging pendants for local builders. Today we are a full design desk, an import arm and three installation vans, but the standard on the job has not changed. Every fixture has to look right from the doorway, hold up to daily use and pass inspection without excuses.

Our Story

From a single van to a full lighting house

The business began in a rented bay on South Road, with one van, a laser level and a stubborn refusal to cut corners. Word spread quickly when we started restoring chandeliers in heritage villas around North Adelaide and the Adelaide Hills, where ceilings have quirks that factory instructions never cover. Those jobs taught us how to work around stucco roses, pressed tin, lime-plastered cavities and hundred-year-old wiring.

That heritage experience grew into the wider architectural side of the business. Builders and interior designers started asking us to plan lighting for whole homes and commercial floors, not just hang a fixture. Today the showroom, the workshop and the install crews all run from the same Regency Park base, which means a design decision made in the morning can be tested on a ceiling in the afternoon.

  • Design, supply and installation handled by one team, under one roof.
  • Import arm that sources crystal, glass and custom frames from overseas suppliers.
  • Licensed electricians on staff for every circuit we touch.
  • Full warranty records kept for every project we deliver.
Our History

Milestones that shaped how we work

Every step of the journey changed the way we run the business, from the first heritage restoration to the commercial projects we take on today.

2001

The first van and the first ceiling

Two fitters, one van and a small warehouse bay on South Road. Pendants for local builders made up most of the work.

2007

Heritage restoration begins

Word of mouth brought us into the villas of North Adelaide, where old ceilings and vintage fixtures became a specialty.

2013

Import arm opens

We started bringing crystal and Italian glass directly from overseas suppliers, which cut lead times and opened up bespoke options.

2017

Architectural LED division launched

A dedicated design desk for commercial and residential LED systems, with reflected ceiling plans written for the trades.

2023

Showroom refurbishment completed

A larger showroom with full-scale mock ceilings, so clients can compare fixtures at real hanging heights.

Our Philosophy

Four principles we will not bend on

These are the rules our team works by, whether the job is a single bedroom pendant or a full commercial floor.

Measure Twice

Every fixture is chosen against a scale drawing of your room, not a shelf display, so proportions are right the first time.

Safety Non-Negotiable

Load-rated anchors, licensed electricians and documented testing on every ceiling, every time, without shortcuts.

Plain Speaking

No jargon, no upsell pressure, no small print surprises. If a cheaper option will work, we will say so.

Built to Last

We spec fixtures and drivers rated for years of daily use, not for the cheapest quote on the day.

Our Team

The people who actually turn up to your job

Designers, electricians and rigging crews who have all worked the same sites, so handoffs between trades stay tight.

Client Voices

What long-standing clients say about working with us

We have used Bonusmeridian on four home builds now. Their documentation is clean, their pricing is fixed and the install crews always leave the site tidy.

Marcus Trevanion Builder, Norwood

I refer clients to them constantly. They actually understand the design intent behind a lighting plan, not just the wiring diagram.

Sabrina Llewellyn Interior Designer, Unley

They tackled a 120-year-old ceiling with more care than any contractor I have seen. The chandelier has been perfect for three years running.

Geoffrey Ashwin Homeowner, North Adelaide
