Pharos History

Founded in 2004 as part of the Carallon group, Pharos is an independently owned product development house specialising in pioneering control systems.

Carallon was set up by seven engineers and developers who’d previously worked together at another iconic UK company – acclaimed lighting control specialist Flying Pig Systems, originator of the Wholehog lighting consoles. This history of practical lighting experience led to practical lighting control design.

All our products are designed and manufactured in-house. This includes each product’s industrial design, the software, the electronics and the final assembly. By keeping control of the entire design and manufacturing process, we’re able maintain the highest possible standards in quality assurance.

Pharos Heritage

Pharos’ flagship and most popular product is the LPC, a compact solid-state lighting controller originally designed for theme parks, that brought together just the right amount of lighting control and show control in a neat package, and was rugged enough to be bolted onto a rollercoaster.

It is also extremely flexible, and has subsequently been used as the lighting control solution for almost every lighting application imaginable.

The original ruggedness has remained a feature of all Pharos products, which are now known and loved for their incredible reliability – some controllers are still faithfully running their lighting shows 24/7 more than 15 years after their initial installation.
