About REO Lighting

A decade of illuminating South Africa's finest spaces.

Today, a proud family-run business out of Cape Town.

From the intimacy of a single room to the scale of a R1-billion shopping mall—we bring the same meticulous care, technical expertise, and discerning eye for quality to every space.

Whether you are shopping our curated collection online or partnering with us for a large-scale development, we believe that the right light changes everything.

Our Story

We did not start there. We earned our way there.

REO began over a decade ago with a simple, driving focus: lighting is the most important element of design. We started small—specifying and supplying lighting for individual rooms and private homes—and built our reputation on precision, trust, and an uncompromising standard of quality.

Today, we operate out of Cape Town as a close-knit, family-run business. While our day-to-day operations are grounded in personal service, our reach extends across the country.

We are proud to be the trusted suppliers for some of South Africa's most ambitious developments. Our diverse portfolio includes the lighting supply for Oceans Mall in Umhlanga—a R1.3-billion landmark development and one of KwaZulu-Natal's premier luxury retail destinations—as well as 16 on Bree right here in the Mother City, a stunning 36-storey residential tower that stands as one of the tallest buildings in the Cape Town skyline.

We did not start there. We earned our way there. Now, we've taken the exact same expertise used to illuminate those national landmarks and created an online store. Our goal is simple: to bring our favorite, high-quality fixtures directly to your door, anywhere in South Africa.
