In early 2017 with 10+ years of experience in horticulture Phoenix Sky co-founder Gerhard Lourens began research into lighting solutions for cultivation after identifying a need for a locally high-end made product at an affordable price.

​​

After 2 years of research and development Gerhard identified a local manufacturer in Johannesburg South Africa that shared his passion in the product, they continued to go into partnership on the final version of the Phoenix Sky range.

​

Throughout the Covid-19 lockdown founders, Gerhard & Natalie Lourens have been working with both their manufacturing & testing partners to perfect both the SunPlus and BudMaster ranges for the market. As of Spring 2020, the couple are proud to have the product available nationwide in South Africa and aim to continue to further develop the Phoenix Sky product range.
