Lighting Upgrades

Better light, lower bills.

Upgrading to LED lighting is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home. Not only do modern LEDs use up to 80% less power than old incandescent bulbs, but they also last significantly longer.

Whether you want bright task lighting for the kitchen, dimmable atmospheric lighting for the lounge, or sleek track lighting for a commercial space, we can design and install the perfect setup to highlight your space.

Fire Risk

Still Running Old Halogens?

Old halogen downlights run hot enough to be a genuine fire risk, blow constantly, and use far more power than LEDs. Open recessed fittings let heat escape through the ceiling all winter. And if you've got spiders in your light fittings - that's a ceiling gap that doesn't need to be there.

LED replacements run cooler, last 10x longer, use a fraction of the power, and the sealed IC-rated versions stop the heat loss entirely.
