The Real Cost of Old Halogens
A typical Noosa Hinterland home with 20 halogen downlights running at 50W each consumes 1kW of power continuously when lit — costing around $500–$700 per year just in lighting electricity. The same 20 LED downlights at 8W each use 160W — about $80–$100 per year. That's a saving of $400–$600 every year, with the upgrade typically paying for itself within 2 years. And LEDs last 25,000–50,000 hours versus 2,000 hours for a halogen.
Getting Colour Temperature Right
LED colour temperature significantly affects how a room feels. Warm white (2700K) creates a relaxed, residential feel — good for living areas and bedrooms. Neutral white (4000K) is clean and functional — ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. Cool white (5000K) is bright and clinical — appropriate for work areas and garages. We advise on colour temperature room by room and can install tunable whites that adjust throughout the day.
Commercial LED Upgrades
For Noosa and Gympie businesses, LED retrofits deliver a compelling return on investment — typically 40–60% reduction in lighting electricity costs, with payback periods of 2–4 years. We assess your current lighting, calculate your expected saving, and provide a written cost-benefit analysis before you commit. Fluorescent T8 to LED panel conversions, high-bay LED upgrades for warehouses, and retail display lighting upgrades are all common projects.
