About Lightforce

“Understanding people, the way they live, and working out ways we can enhance that experience is an approach that makes complete sense to me.”

After working as an electrician for over a decade, Luke had a vision of starting a solar and electrical company with a difference. To him, this meant making sure every interaction with a customer was personal and every solution specific to the individual’s needs. Having a focus on sustainability and positive environmental change means “doing good” becomes part of that package.

Ed joins Lightforce with over 10 years experience as a foreman, managing teams of electricians and apprentices across a broad range of electrical and solar work. With experience both in New Zealand and abroad, he has a thorough knowledge and understanding of the needs of residential and commercial jobs - from initial quote, through to completion, while running and managing teams on budget and on time.

Rob has been with Lightforce from the very beginning. After working as a residential and commercial electrician for 15 years, Rob finds his passion in solar. He feels strongly about a future powered by solar and what our collective commitment to this technology means for our planet and for future generations. With well over 2000 installs under his belt, he is an incredibly experienced and valued member of the team. He's also a seriously nice guy who our customers love.

Kat, Luke’s better half, has had a pretty varied career. After graduating from Auckland Uni, she worked as a Biomedical Scientist in labs in NZ and London. A big shift to the design industry saw her take on Account and Project Manager roles for various agencies in London, Melbourne and Auckland working across Branding, Advertising, Industrial Design, Architectural and Interiors projects.

Her latest role, before being roped into working for Lightforce full time, was in the high-end custom furniture and antique world – this taught her a real appreciation for fine craftsmanship and the importance of attention to detail.

Working with architects and designers alike, Kat understands the level of service and standard of workmanship required to deliver solutions to a very discerning customer.

Ben’s passion for solar energy and sustainable living make him an invaluable member and educator of the Lightforce team. His knowledge and understanding of solar technologies, and their practical applications both residential and commercial, means the system designed for your home or business has been meticulously well thought out.

Amber has worked in accounting and administration in the Electrical world for nearly a decade, so knows how to keep us all in line! Weekends are spent with her horses - competing in events or riding Woodhill Forrest and Muriwai Beach. She also has two teenage boys who are basketball fanatics, so when she's not working or riding (or doing all the other things an impressive mother of two does) she's at the basketball courts.

We have a fantastic team of electricians, apprentices, and solar installers. We believe that all of our guys should be as passionate about what we do as we are and able provide a service that is of the highest standard. They're a bunch of trustworthy, decent guys who are skilled in their work and incredibly personable - they're our greatest asset.

Bear Nutting is the Lightforce Client Liaison Manager - she has been with Lightforce from 8 weeks of age. Originally from somewhere between Hamilton and Ngaruawahia (origin unknown), Bear will be the first to eagerly greet you when you visit the showroom. She is demanding and needy but is proving her ability and worth as enthusiastic CLM...so we're keeping her on.
