Better light that costs less to run
LED downlights use a fraction of the power of old halogen and fluorescent fittings and last far longer, so they pay for themselves on your power bill.
We replace old fittings with modern LEDs, retrofit existing downlight holes, and design new lighting layouts for renovations and new builds. Pendants, under-cabinet strips and outdoor lighting finish the job.
We help you choose the right colour temperature and brightness for each room, so the result looks as good as it performs.

LED lighting FAQs
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Anything else, Jamie is happy to talk it through.
Can you replace my old halogen downlights with LEDs?
Yes. In most cases we can fit LEDs into the existing holes, and we will let you know if any need adjusting.
How much cheaper are LED downlights than halogen?
An LED downlight gives similar light to a 50W halogen for around 8W, so it uses about 85% less power. As a rough guide, ten halogens on for four hours a night use about 730 units of power a year, around $255 at 35c a unit. Ten LEDs use about 117 units, around $41. LEDs also last far longer.
Do you do outdoor and garden lighting?
Yes. We install outdoor, deck, garden and step lighting with fittings rated for coastal conditions.
Is the work certified?
Yes. Every job is finished to the AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules and signed off with the right Electrical Safety Certificate (ESC) or Certificate of Compliance (CoC), so your insurance and any future sale are covered.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote it properly. Quotes are free and upfront, with no surprises once the work starts. Call 021 515 292 or request a quote online.
