Do I need an electrician to install LED lights?

Yes, absolutely. In Australia, all electrical work including LED light installation must be performed by a licensed electrician. This is a legal requirement under Australian electrical regulations. DIY electrical work is illegal, dangerous, and will void your insurance. It can result in fines up to $5,500 and poses serious risks of electric shock or fire. Always use a qualified electrician for any lighting installation to ensure safety and compliance.

Can you help design lighting for my renovation?

Absolutely! We specialize in lighting design for renovations and new builds. Our electricians work with you to create a lighting plan that suits your space, style, and budget. We consider room dimensions, ceiling heights, natural light, furniture placement, and your lifestyle needs. We provide expert advice on fixture selection, placement, color temperature, and dimming options. This design service is included free with any lighting installation quote.

How long does it take to install lighting?

Installation time depends on the scope of work. Installing a few LED downlights typically takes 2-4 hours. A complete room lighting installation (multiple downlights plus pendants) takes 4-6 hours. Whole-home lighting upgrades may take 1-2 days depending on the number of rooms and fixtures. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine and always clean up thoroughly before we leave.

What's the difference between warm white and cool white LED lights?

Warm white (2700K-3000K) produces a soft, yellowish glow similar to traditional incandescent bulbs - perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and creating cozy atmospheres. Cool white (4000K-5000K) produces a bright, crisp white light ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, offices, and task lighting. Daylight (5500K-6500K) mimics natural sunlight and is best for detailed work or commercial spaces. We help you select the right color temperature for each room's purpose.

Can you install smart lighting systems?

Yes! We install complete smart lighting systems that you can control from your smartphone or with voice commands through Alexa or Google Home. Smart lighting allows you to create schedules, dim lights remotely, change colors, and integrate with other home automation systems. We install brands like Philips Hue, LIFX, and other smart lighting solutions. We also help you set up and program your system for easy operation.

How much can I save by switching to LED lighting?

LED lights use up to 80% less electricity than old halogen bulbs. For a typical home with 30 halogen downlights, switching to LED can save $400-600 per year on electricity bills. LED lights also last 15-25 years compared to 1-2 years for halogens, saving significantly on replacement costs and maintenance. The upfront investment in LED lighting typically pays for itself within 2-3 years through energy savings.

Do you install outdoor lighting?

Yes, we specialize in outdoor and garden lighting installation. We install pathway lights, deck lighting, garden feature lighting, security lighting, and outdoor entertaining area illumination. All outdoor lighting uses weatherproof, IP-rated fixtures suitable for Australian conditions. We ensure proper waterproof connections and RCD protection for safety. Outdoor lighting transforms your garden and extends your living space into the evenings.

Can you replace existing light fittings?

Absolutely. We can replace any existing light fittings with new ones. Whether you want to upgrade old lights to LED, replace broken fixtures, or update your home's style with new lighting, we handle it all. We safely remove old fittings, install new ones, and ensure proper wiring and support for heavier fixtures like chandeliers. We also patch and paint ceiling holes if you're changing fixture styles.
