LED Lighting & Downlights
Brighter rooms, lower bills, and no more halogen scorch marks in the ceiling.
LED Lighting & Downlights
Swapping halogen downlights for LEDs is the quickest win in most homes. A halogen draws about 50 watts and runs hot enough to be a genuine ceiling fire risk. A modern LED gives you the same light, usually better, for around 9 watts, and runs cool.
We'll talk through colour temperature before we start, because it matters more than people expect. Warm white suits bedrooms and living rooms. A cooler neutral white works better in kitchens, laundries and garages. Mixing them room to room is completely normal.
New installs, one for one replacements, dimmable circuits, strip lighting under kitchen cabinetry, feature pendants. All handled, and all cut in neatly so you're not left patching plaster.

What people ask about downlights.
Replacing twenty 50W halogens with 9W LEDs cuts about 800 watts of draw. Run four hours a night, that's roughly $180–$250 a year off the bill depending on your tariff. You also stop replacing globes every eighteen months.
Yes, in almost every case. We work from the ceiling side wherever possible so there's no need to lift insulation or go into the roof space more than necessary. Double storey homes with limited access sometimes need a slightly different layout, and we'll show you the options first.
Not always. Old leading-edge dimmers were built for halogen loads and often flicker or buzz with LEDs. If yours is one of them we'll swap it for a matched trailing-edge dimmer at the same time.
