The Magill was the very first cordless lamp NEOZ ever made, designed by founder Peter Ellis in 1995 for the Penfolds Magill Estate Restaurant in Adelaide. The restaurant, in a landmark building by Allen Jack + Cottier, wanted a light for every table that would flatter the food and the room without a single cord in sight. The Magill answered that brief, and in doing so it set NEOZ on its path. Everything in the range since traces back to this lamp.
Cordless table lamp
Magill
The Magill was the very first NEOZ cordless lamp, designed by founder Peter Ellis in 1995 for the Penfolds Magill Estate Restaurant in Adelaide. Inspired by postmodern architecture, its clean, minimalist form, a clear cylinder over a simple cone, gave the room a warm, glareless glow and quietly proved that a table could be lit beautifully without a cord.
Three decades on, it remains a defining piece in the NEOZ story, and the lamp the Apex would later pay tribute to. It casts a soft sidelight and downlight that flatters both the table and the food, at home in the most considered dining rooms.
Now a heritage piece, the Magill is no longer part of the standard range. It is available in brushed stainless steel while final stocks last, and can be produced to order by special arrangement for larger projects.
All NEOZ products are shipped in a presentation box and include your NEOZ lamp, an N1 Charging Base and User Guide. Our N1 Charging Base includes wall plugs for AU, UK, EU and USA as standard.

The First
Where NEOZ began
The Legacy
Three decades on the table
The Light
Postmodern lines, a warm glow
Secure by design
Leave your Magill exactly where you want it
Your Magill is made to move, which is exactly why operators asked us to help them keep it close. The Cordless Lamp Lock secures it to the table itself. A low-profile plate fixes discreetly to the surface, the lamp locks on with a single press, and a dedicated key releases it. No tools, no brackets, and nothing a guest would ever notice.
It lets you place cordless light where you could not before. Outdoor terraces, bar tops and street-facing tables can carry your Magill with the confidence it will still be there tomorrow. The Cordless Lamp Lock is made from 75% post-consumer recycled polycarbonate.

Where it began
NEOZ's very first cordless lamp, designed for the Penfolds Magill Estate Restaurant.
Postmodern
By design
A minimalist, clean-lined form inspired by the postmodern architecture of its era.
Serviceable
Made to last
Every part is user replaceable, and NEOZ still services lamps made decades ago.
Built to be kept
Buy once, and keep it for years
Every NEOZ lamp is built around our light engine and made to be serviced, not discarded. Move the electronics between bodies, or replace a single worn part, and the lamp you buy today stays with you for years.
Replaceable parts
Fix the part, not the lamp
Battery, light source, diffuser and body are each replaceable on their own. Damage one element and you repair just that part, never the whole lamp.
MODULAR BY DESIGN
Change the body, keep the engine
The NEOZ light engine is independent of the body and lifts out to move between them, the heart of our modular design. Restyle to a new look, or replace a damaged body, while keeping the electronics you already own.
Service and repair
Looked after, wherever you are
Our service centre is in Sydney, and we accept lamps back from anywhere in the world for assessment and repair. More often we diagnose remotely and send the right parts with video instructions, backed by our online help centre, so your lamps keep working wherever they are.
Commercial grade
Made for the floor
Engineered for nightly use in five-star service, with all-day battery life, fast charging and charging solutions that scale from a single base to a 48-lamp station. Backed by an industry-leading 5-year warranty, and fully serviceable for the long term.
