Lighting Work We Do Across Melbourne's East

LED Downlight Installation and Upgrades

Halogen downlights run hot, fail every year or two and draw around ten times what an LED does for the same light. Replacing them is one of the most common jobs we do, and in most homes it can be done off the existing ceiling openings.

We go through colour temperature with you before ordering, because it changes how a room feels more than people expect. Warmer light suits bedrooms and living areas, a cooler white suits kitchens, laundries and garages.

Feature and Pendant Lighting

Pendants over an island, wall lights in a hallway or strip lighting under the cabinets change how a room reads. The electrical side is usually adding a ceiling point where there isn't one and splitting the feature lighting onto its own switch or dimmer.

We mark out positions, spacing and drop heights with you on site before anything is fixed. It takes a few minutes and it's the part customers are most glad we did.

Outdoor and Garden Lighting

A single floodlight on the back wall lights the paving underneath it and turns everything past that into a black wall. Several smaller lights through the yard work far better, and make an alfresco or deck usable at night.

On the sloped blocks common through The Basin, Upper Ferntree Gully and Boronia, path and step lighting is as much about safety as it is about the look. Everything outdoors goes in weatherproof and on properly protected circuits.

Bathroom and Vanity Lighting

Almost every older bathroom has one light in the centre of the ceiling, which puts your own head between the light and the mirror. Moving light to the vanity fixes the problem people have been living with for years.

Bathrooms carry zone rules about what can be installed and how close it can sit to a bath or shower. We select fittings for the zone they'll sit in, and deal with heat lamps and exhaust at the same time where they need attention.

Dimmers and Smart Lighting Controls

Flickering and buzzing on dimmed LEDs almost always comes down to an old dimmer that was built for halogen load and never changed when the globes were. Matching the dimmer to the fittings and setting its minimum level fixes it.

Where you want app or voice control, we fit smart switches that still work from the wall, so visitors and kids aren't stuck without a light when the wifi drops.

Lighting Rough-Ins and Fit-Offs for Renovations

On a renovation the lighting has to be planned before plaster goes up. We complete the rough-in while the walls are open and return for the fit-off once the cabinetry and finishes are in.

Getting the positions right at that stage is far cheaper than moving them afterwards, which means cutting and patching finished work.
