Lighting has a bigger impact on your home than most people realise. The right lighting makes rooms feel larger, highlights architectural features, improves task areas like kitchens and home offices, and creates ambiance for living spaces. Outdoors, well-placed lighting extends your usable entertaining space, improves safety on paths and stairs, and deters intruders.

We specialise in LED lighting upgrades and new installations across Hobart. If your home still has old halogen downlights, switching to LED cuts your lighting energy use by up to 80% and dramatically reduces heat output — a real benefit in older homes where halogen heat in ceiling cavities is a fire concern. We supply and install quality LED downlights, and can match colour temperatures across your home for a consistent look.

Beyond basic downlights, we install pendant lights, track lighting, under-cabinet lighting for kitchens, outdoor garden lights, security sensor lights, and smart lighting systems that let you control scenes and schedules from your phone. Whether you're renovating, building new, or simply upgrading what you have, we'll help you plan a lighting layout that suits the space and your budget. We work across Hobart from Taroona to Claremont, and from Sandy Bay up to the Northern Suburbs.

Cost depends on the number of fittings, type of lights, complexity of cable runs, and whether existing wiring can be reused. A straightforward LED downlight swap is at the lower end, while new outdoor lighting circuits cost more. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I save by switching from halogen to LED?
A typical halogen downlight uses 50W, while an equivalent LED uses around 10W — that's an 80% energy reduction. In a home with 20 downlights, the electricity savings pay for the upgrade within a year or two. LED globes also last 5-10 times longer than halogens, so you'll spend less on replacements.
Can you install outdoor lighting on a timer or sensor?
Yes. We install motion-sensor security lights, dusk-to-dawn garden lights, and timer-controlled systems. Smart outdoor lighting can be controlled from your phone, set on schedules, or triggered by motion — great for security and convenience.
What affects the cost of a lighting upgrade?
The main factors are the number of fittings, whether new circuits need to be run, and the type of lights chosen. Replacing existing downlights with LEDs is straightforward and affordable. Adding new light points or running cable to outdoor areas involves more work and costs accordingly.
Do you supply the light fittings, or do I need to buy them?
We can supply fittings or install ones you've purchased — either way works. If you'd like help choosing, we can recommend fittings that suit your space and budget. We carry a range of quality LED downlights and can source most other fittings.
