Incandescent and fluorescent lights emit a lot of heat. LED lights use 85% less energy than an incandescent bulb, last up to 25 times longer, and pose a lower risk of fire hazards.
By changing halogen downlights to LEDs, you can save 80% per year on your lighting bills. Along with improved environmental performance, consider switching to LED lights for low heat and voltage operation.
Why Upgrade to LED Lights in Your Home?
Difference Between LED Downlight and Halogen Downlight?
A Few Reasons to Upgrade
Safety
Halogen Downlights create a lot of heat and if they are not correctly insulated, installed and maintained they can cause a fire. Halogen lights generate very high temperatures which can get anywhere up to 37°C.
Aesthetic Value
Halogen lights operate at such a high temperature that when the light warms up, it can leave unattractive yellow marks around the fittings. With LED lights, you will never have to worry about these types of marks.
Reduces Electricity Bills
In most states of Australia, electricity costs are on the rise, and most experts predict that they will keep rising. By upgrading to LED downlights, you are going to reduce electricity costs.
Reduced Replacement Cost
LED downlights last for several years, which means you won't be wasting your money on replacements for the foreseeable future!
LED Downlight Installations in Melbourne
LED downlights are not a new trend. LED lights have been around for more than a decade. They are getting used in numerous homes for years.
Still, only recently have a lot of homeowners woken up to the savings potential of this superior alternative to halogen and fluorescent bulbs.
The installation process for LED lighting in your home begins with determining the configuration of your home's wiring system. This will establish what type of light fitting you'll need. The existing fittings and transformers are then removed from the ceiling and a plug base is installed on the existing cable and your new downlight is installed.
We have the experience and expertise to ensure that your LED lights get installed correctly to avoid any problems down the road.
Benefits of LED Downlights
Unlike traditional bulbs, LEDs produce light without heat, saving you electricity. They are also highly energy efficient, emitting higher levels of brightness. They are also much more durable than traditional bulbs and resistant to spikes in the grid.
LED downlights have many benefits, including a long lifespan, low energy consumption, and lack of hazardous materials. They are also easy to install and available in a range of colours.

Australian Standards for LED Downlights
Whether you are looking to upgrade lighting outdoors or indoors, there are certain safety standards for your safety in Australia.
For exteriors, like verandas or balconies, 4 watt per square metre and 5 watts per square metre indoors is the total wattage allowance.
In areas like bathrooms or kitchens, which are more hazard-prone, you need to comply with zone 1 standards. Which is, it has to be placed 2.5m vertically above the shower, and should have the rating of IP65.
Generally, the lights are spaced 4 metres apart if the ceiling is 8 metres in height.
