FAQs
Why should I consider a lighting upgrade for my Newcomb property?
Upgrading your lighting delivers multiple benefits: reduced energy bills through efficient LED technology, brighter and more consistent illumination, enhanced safety with proper lux levels, and an instant aesthetic refresh for both residential and commercial spaces. In Newcomb, where many homes and businesses still use halogen or fluorescent fittings, switching can cut lighting energy consumption by up to 80% and significantly lower maintenance costs.
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer?
We provide a complete range of services, including LED downlight conversions, smart lighting integrations, installation of feature pendants, outdoor and security lighting upgrades, and high-bay or panel LED retrofits for commercial settings. Each upgrade is customised to suit your space, décor, and usage patterns, ensuring optimal performance and energy savings.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade take?
For most residential projects (replacing 20–30 fittings), the work is usually completed within one day. Larger homes or commercial sites can take 2–3 days, depending on the number of fixtures, ceiling accessibility, and whether any switchboard or wiring upgrades are required. We schedule work to minimise disruption and can perform after-hours installations for businesses.
Will an LED lighting upgrade really save me money?
Yes. LEDs use up to 80% less electricity than traditional halogen or incandescent lamps and last up to 50,000 hours—around 10–15 years of typical use. In a standard Newcomb home with 25 halogens, switching to LEDs can save approximately $350–$450 per year on power bills. The payback period is often under two years, after which the savings go straight to your pocket.
Do I need an electrician to replace my old lights with LEDs?
Victorian electrical regulations require that any hard-wired lighting work be carried out by a licensed electrician. This ensures all fittings are safely installed, correctly earthed, and compliant with AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules. Our qualified technicians issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety on completion, giving you peace of mind and insurance compliance.
Can I incorporate smart controls or dimmers in my upgrade?
Absolutely. We can integrate smart switches, motion sensors, and app-controlled dimmers that allow you to adjust brightness, set schedules, and monitor energy use from your phone. Smart controls not only enhance convenience and ambience but can add a further 10 –15% energy saving by ensuring lights are only on when needed.
