FAQs
We are committed to upholding the highest standards of electrical safety and workmanship.
Standard legacy dimmer switches were engineered to manage high-wattage halogen loads. LEDs draw very little power, causing old dimmers to become unstable and produce a strobe flicker. Resolving this requires installing a dedicated trailing-edge LED dimmer switch.
When you cut a hole in a ceiling for a downlight, you compromise the ceiling’s natural ability to slow down a fire. A fire-rated downlight features an intake material that expands when exposed to heat, sealing the hole and maintaining the ceiling’s structural fire barrier. These are legally required in all multi-storey residential ceilings.
Yes. Our engineers use specialised long-reach routing rods to pull cables between joist voids from point to point. We can map out and install multiple downlights cleanly with minimal invasive damage, requiring only small circular cutouts for the fixtures.
For living rooms and bedrooms, a Warm White profile (2700K - 3000K) creates a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. For kitchens, bathrooms, and home offices, a Neutral or Cool White profile (4000K) delivers better focus, clarity, and true color representation.
