Our Story

It started at 5am, in a pitch-black toolbox.

One cold Brisbane morning, one phone torch clenched between the teeth, and one tradie who'd finally had enough. This is how Locklite was born.

Working out of a dark ute canopy
The moment

Every tradie knows the feeling.

It's dark. It's early. You're digging through a black hole of a toolbox with your phone torch jammed between your teeth — one hand free, swearing under your breath because you still can't find the one thing you need.

Casey Mayfield did it a thousand times. Until one freezing morning on a Brisbane job site, he stopped and thought: there has to be a better way than this.

Who

Meet Casey.

Casey's a builder — born and bred in Brisbane. Years on the tools, from sparrow's-fart starts to knock-offs well after dark, across every kind of ute, canopy and trailer you can think of.

He's not a lighting engineer. He's not some big-brand exec in a boardroom. He's a tradie who got sick of working in the dark — and decided to do something about it himself.

The build

So he built the light he wished he had.

Casey wanted something simple: bright enough to flood the whole toolbox, tough enough for the back of a work ute, and smart enough to run off the batteries already in his kit — no wiring, no sparky, no wall power.

He couldn't buy it anywhere. So he made it. Countless late nights in the shed, a stack of prototypes and a few blown fuses later — Locklite was real.

After years of juggling my phone torch through a pitch-black toolbox at 5am, I'd had enough. I wanted a light that clipped straight onto the batteries already in my kit and lit the whole box. I couldn't find one — so I built it. That's Locklite.
