Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I install new light fittings myself?

    No. Any electrical work, including lighting installation, must be carried out by a licensed electrician in Queensland. DIY wiring can result in serious safety risks, void your insurance or breach building codes—even if the lights seem to work.

  • Are LED lights really more energy-efficient?

    Yes. LED lights use up to 80% less energy than traditional halogen or incandescent bulbs and last significantly longer. They also produce less heat, making them safer and more cost-effective in the long run, especially for large homes or commercial spaces.

  • What type of lighting is best for kitchens and workspaces?

    Bright, cool-white lighting is often preferred for task-heavy areas like kitchens, laundries and workshops. Downlights or directional lights work well for these spaces. It’s also important to avoid glare and shadows by spacing fixtures correctly.
