First Light Optics and Remote Observatory

First Light Optics (FLO), founded in 2006, is the UK’s largest specialist retailer of astronomy equipment, catering to both amateur and professional customers. With facilities in Exeter and remote observatories in Southern Spain, FLO focuses on shortening supply chains by partnering directly with manufacturers in the Far East, Europe, and the US. The company emphasizes in-house design and manufacturing to create innovative solutions, while also supporting outreach and education initiatives. For bespoke projects, a team of experts is available to provide design, installation, and support, primarily specializing in instrumentation up to 0.5m in diameter. FLO is also proud to be a living wage employer.

Remote Observatories is a sister company of First Light Optics, offering fully managed remote observatory setups with zero upfront costs, as well as ongoing support, maintenance, and training through a simple monthly rental.
