About Us
At Full On Lighting, our mission is simple: to make riding more fun for everyone. After years of experiencing bike lights that just didn’t meet the mark—either not bright enough or failing to illuminate enough of the path ahead—we knew there had to be a better way. With decades of expertise in commercial solar outdoor lighting, we set out to create a better bike lighting solution—one that enhances the ride, improves visibility, and keeps you safe, all while offering a thrilling experience on every trail.
We’re a team of passionate cyclists, engineers, and lighting experts, each bringing a unique perspective and set of skills to the table. By combining purpose-built optics with intelligent energy management, we've developed a bike light that not only helps you see more clearly but also allows you to ride faster and have more fun—whether you're on a midnight adventure or navigating tricky mountain trails.

Scott brings over 20 years of experience in the lighting industry to the team at Full On. Ranging from managing manufacturing, supply chain, and design, Scott's done it all. In his free time you can find him hiking near his home in the Cowichan Valley, or camping with his family.

Iris Gillies
Iris is a more recent transplant to Vancouver Island. After growing up in Alberta she was drawn to the Pacific Northwest mostly by her love for sailing and the outdoors. In 2018 she made the decision to leave a successful real estate career and make the move out west.
Since the move she’s been honing her skills in sales and account management in the outdoor lighting industry. In her spare time you can usually find her playing golf, racing sailboats, or hanging out with her dog and best friend, Bud.
