The History of The Lighting Warehouse
It all began in John Davidson’s late teens when he began to earn extra pocket money by manufacturing ‘tiffany’ lampshades with his mother. After marrying his childhood sweetheart Vanessa in 1971, John gained invaluable experience in advertising and fabric sales which helped him in later years. In 1973 the two travelled to London where John worked in a lampshade factory and on their return to South Africa in 1974 he began his own business.
The business started in Fox Street Johannesburg in 2 rooms with 2 employees and only 1 customer! It eventually grew into Champagne Lighting, a leading manufacturing and wholesaling business of lampshades, table lamps and light fittings. After 20 years of triumphs and failures but more importantly invaluable business experience, he launched The Lighting Warehouse. The concept of selling lighting off the floor in a ‘no frills’ warehouse environment was born.
Champagne Lighting was sold a few years later because of the tremendous growth of The Lighting Warehouse and the attention it deserved. From the days of a small 200m² showroom in Wynberg to 1500m² of prime retail space in the heart of Fourways, the business has always been a family concern. This growth continued after John’s tragic passing in January 2003 with his wife, son, daughter, nephew and staff who are also considered family members, maintaining the drive to light up every home in South Africa.
