One of our product initiatives

THE KING DOWNLIGHT Kiwi icon Mike King has identified the problem and instigated the I Am Hope Youth Ambassador Program. This nationwide program hopes to put ambassadors in schools to act as a trusted pathway to professional help.

The Ideal Foundation, supported by Philips Lighting, is behind Mike and his focus on Kiwi kids.

Proceeds from this fitting go to the Ideal Foundation, which supports Mike and his vision of youth ambassadors.

“Whether we like it or not, our children are aware their mates are having problems, some of which are very serious. Currently, 80% of kids in crisis don’t ask for professional help. This is an Ideal opportunity for you to shine a light on a dark place for our kids” - Mike King
