Hi from a former Kiwi, 3 years living in West Auckland and 13 years in Tauranga.
How about Maori translations -
Fire - Ahi.
Torch - Rama
Sun - Rā
How about those cheeky parrots - Kea
Or perhaps KiwiTec or an acronym - KT.
Edited to add - How about FuKTrademe!

Icarus Lights
Never could find a lumen monster bright enough, so he rode to the sun…or something like that if I remember right.

What do you call two sheep tied to a post in Christchurch?
A leisure centre.
Thanks for all the input, I really appreciate it apart from all the names with “fire” in it haha. I’ll stay well away from that name.

I like “Nightbreaker.”
Have you thought about a name that says “New Zealand” to potential purchasers, to give your lights a more localized brand flavor? Perhaps TuiTorch. Or RuruLight (maybe RuLight?). Lights that can help spot the owls, you know.

I know nothing about NZ and Maori, but I think MaoLight is a nice name. Sounds like a China brand though.

ARMADO light — in our local dialect, it means “armed”

“Ruru provide a rich source of symbolism for Māori. Their haunting cry and watchful nature are linked with tapu (spiritual restriction), guardianship, forewarning, grief and awareness”
Hmmm, maybe not that one
Zealight was suggested above so I’ll give it a think.
Dad had suggested Nightbreaker which sounds decent. Osram have car headlight series called Osram Night Breaker. I could still use it as a brand though?

How about Midlite, since your origin is in middle earth and the lights are “lite” versions of the big chongus lights so “Midlite”.
With a slogan like “Midlite your choice of light while in middle earth.”

I’ll support the Zealight idea. Or dumpster fire, that’s just great

How about Solothurn (Swiss anti-tank rifle) and a town in Switzerland. I just like the name.
