Pendant lights and chandeliers
Hanging a fitting is both a structural and electrical job. We check the ceiling can support the load, provide suitable support, plan the drop, isolate the circuit and protect your furniture while working.
Track, monorail and architectural lighting
Track lights allow easy repositioning of heads as needs change. Monorail and linear profiles provide clean, continuous lighting. Transformers or drivers are sized correctly, with planning required before plastering for recessed profiles.
Wall lights and sconces
Wall lights suit bedrooms, hallways, bathrooms and feature walls. Where existing cabling cannot reach the planned position, we run new cable through walls or ceilings. Switches are positioned conveniently, with bathroom and laundry fittings selected for suitable IP ratings.
Ceiling fan lights
Fans with integrated lights need fan-rated mounting points rather than standard light fittings. We wire the fan and light separately so they work independently and set up receivers for remote-controlled units.
LED strip and cove lighting
Under-cabinet strips, kickboard glow, coves, stair edges and shelving all use LED strip lighting. Drivers must be hidden but remain accessible for servicing. We match the strip’s IP rating to the area and plan cable routes to avoid unnecessary removal.
LED Light Installation & Upgrades
Professional LED light installation and upgrades in Brisbane for homes and businesses. Replace outdated lighting with energy-efficient LED lights, including downlights, ceiling lights, feature lighting and other indoor or outdoor options.
Kitchens
Downlights for general light, strip lighting under overhead cabinets for the bench, pendants over an island or breakfast bar.
Living areas
dimmable ambient lighting, with wall lights or a floor-lamp circuit to soften the room in the evening
Bedrooms
bedside wall lights or pendants on their own switches, with general lighting kept dimmable.
Bathrooms and laundries
fittings with the right IP rating for their position, and lighting placed to avoid shadows over mirrors.
Hallways and stairs
low-level or edge lighting so the way is clear at night without switching on the main lights.
Home offices
low-level or edge lighting so the way is clear at night without switching on the main lights.
| Problem | Likely Cause | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
| Lights flicker or dim when appliances start | Loose connection or overloaded circuit | Have the circuit inspected. |
| Brown staining or scorch marks around a downlight | Overheating at the fitting | Switch off at the switchboard and don't use the light until it's inspected. |
| Fitting hot to touch, or a burning smell | Overheating, incorrect lamp or failing connection | Isolate the circuit and call an electrician. If there's smoke or flame, call 000. |
| Safety switch or breaker keeps tripping when the lights are on | Wiring fault, moisture or a failed fitting | Stop resetting it repeatedly and get it tested. |
| Ceiling rose or fitting loose or sagging | Inadequate support or fixings | Stop using it and have the support and wiring checked. |
| Lights that keep failing early | Heat, poor drivers or voltage spikes after storms | Have the fittings and circuit assessed. Storm season makes surge protection worth discussing. |
