The Story of Quipt: Site-Ready Gear Built by Tradies for Tradies

Changing the Australian building industry by equipping trades with the tools that make you think — ‘why didn’t we have this before?’.

Welcome to Quipt. With decades of experience onsite as builders and tradies, this is our answer to solving day-to-day problems on the job — especially when it comes to lighting. We’ve turned those problems into the inspiration for smart, site-ready gear that makes the job easier.

Our Mission: Increase Site Productivity

Every product at Quipt is designed to remove a problem from your workday. We focus on the essentials — the gear actually used day in, day out — and we make sure those essentials are the best they can be. .

That mission started with our bestselling Site Light. We found that traditional flood lighting wwas too clunky, too fragile, or too inflexible. So we built something better: a durable, flexible LED strip you can roll out and adapt to any site, with fact install and durability in real conditions. It solved a pain point we knew far too well — and it sparked everything that followed. Learn more about How LED Strip Work Lights Are Revolutionising the Construction Industry.

Today, our range includes both battery battery and plug-in LED cable options, as well as lead poles (coming 2026) for tool-free overhead mounting options.

Why You Can Trust Quipt

We’re a small, family-run crew based in Melbourne. Before Quipt, our team worked in flooring and construction, with on-the-tools experience. We’ve worked in the same dust, noise, deadlines, and pressure you deal with daily — which is why we know exactly what good gear should look like.

That’s why tradies across Australia rely on Quipt. Every product we offer is:

  • Built tough and site-tested for real conditions
  • Designed with smart features that boost safety and efficiency
  • Reliable and high-quality, yet affordable
  • Shaped by real-world use, not guesswork

And when you need support, we’re here. Our team is on deck Monday to Friday to answer questions, troubleshoot, and make sure you walk away with the right equipment for the job.

We don’t believe in selling everything — just the things that matter. The products that make a site run smoother, and don’t over-complicate things. The kind of gear that has you wondering, “Why didn’t someone invent this earlier?”
