Shining a Light on the Future: CoLab Lighting Partners with the ABSC

Australian commercial lighting manufacturer CoLab Lighting is proud to announce a new partnership with the Australian Billiards & Snooker Council (ABSC) to research, develop and promote competition-standard lighting solutions for cue sports across Australia.

As part of this exciting collaboration, CoLab Lighting is also pleased to become a sponsor of the upcoming 2027 Australian Junior Snooker & Billiards Championships, reinforcing its commitment to supporting the future of the sport.

Precision Lighting for Precision Sport

Success in snooker and billiards is often determined by millimetres. Every shot relies on exceptional visibility, making consistent, high-quality lighting an essential part of the playing environment.

By combining CoLab Lighting's expertise in commercial lighting design with the ABSC's technical knowledge of cue sports, this partnership will focus on developing lighting solutions that deliver:

  • Uniform illumination across the entire playing surface.

  • Reduced glare and unwanted shadows.

  • Enhanced visual contrast for players, officials and spectators.

  • Competition-standard conditions suitable for clubs and major championships.

The shared goal is to help establish a new benchmark for cue sports lighting in Australia.

Supporting the Next Generation

CoLab Lighting's sponsorship of the Australian Junior Championships reflects its commitment to investing in grassroots sport and creating opportunities for young athletes to perform in world-class conditions.

The company is proud to stand alongside the ABSC and fellow sponsors in supporting the next generation of Australian snooker and billiards players.

"We are delighted to partner with the Australian Billiards & Snooker Council," said Jenssen Turnowsky, Business Development, CoLab Lighting.

"Billiards and snooker are games of millimetres, where lighting plays a critical role in performance. We look forward to working closely with the ABSC to advance lighting standards in venues across Australia while proudly supporting the talented junior players who represent the future of our sport."

ABSC President Alex Render welcomed the partnership, saying:

"Quality playing conditions are fundamental to the growth and professionalism of cue sports. We are excited to work alongside CoLab Lighting to help develop industry-leading lighting solutions for clubs and championship venues throughout Australia. Their support of our Australian Junior Championships also demonstrates a genuine commitment to investing in the future of our sport."
