What is LED Lighting?
LED Lighting are lights which use light emitting diodes (LED's) which are extremely energy efficient and long lasting. LED lights create less heat than traditional lights, which means they last for longer and it means your air conditioner doesn't have to work as hard. LED lights are a relatively new technology and can help you save upto 90% on your lighting cost.
Why is Everyone Talking About LED Lighting?
Lighting contributes about 30% to the average Australian households energy bills, so it makes up an important part of the electricity you are paying for. Most lighting today is inefficient and is costing you money and emitting vast amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. In Australia lighting represents about 12% of carbon emissions from househoulds and about 25% from businesses. LED lights are a great energy efficient alternative and they can save you money and help reduce your impact on the environment. Check out our range of LED Lighting.
What Types Of LED Lights Are There?

Galaxy LED Down Light
LED Lighting is the most efficient lighting to replace halogen downlights. The Galaxy 5-7w MR16 LED Down Light is the most powerful LED light on the market outputting about 85% of a 50w halogen. The Galaxy LED Light is suitable to replace most low voltage lighting halogens. Cl

Luxeon LED Down Light
This LED light bulb provides a warm downlight at minimal energy consumption. Three bright Luxeon LEDs use just one watt of power each, meaning the bulb will last up to an incredible 50,000 hours! The Luxeon LED down light use less than 6% of the energy (and heat output) of a standard halogen globe. These globes are dimmable and provide light similar to a 20W halogen globe.

LED Strip Lighting
LED Strip Lighting is a extremely efficient and suitable for almost every room. The LED Strip Light is both aesthetic and functional. You'll save energy and money by installing this flexible, slimline, long life LED strip lighting as it has an extremely low power consumption - less than 18 watt per 6 meter length. The ribbon uses high brightness SMD LEDs as its light source. |
There are heaps of different types of energy efficent led lights to replace your old lighting. We have a variety of LED lighting which includes:
Are There LED Light Replacements For Energy Hungry Halogens ?
Your average 12v 50w halogen turns 90% of the electricity it uses into heat and only 10% into light. This means that halogen downlights are extremely inefficient. Halogens also use transformers which themselves use between 10w & 15w, so your standard halogen is using about 60 watts. Many people believe that Halogen lights are very energy efficient because they are often referred to as “low voltage lighting”. Although they are low voltage (12V) this doesn’t mean they consume less electricity. The coil inside the globe gets so hot the it glows, and that is what creates the light. You can think of Halogens as little toasters in your roof, burning up energy. Halogens can be a fire hazard because they get so hot, and they will also make your air conditioner work harder (which uses more electricity and costs you more).
We have a range of LED Downlights to replace energy hungry halogens. The Luxeon 3w LED Downlight uses only 3 watts of electricity and lasts for an amazing 50,000 hours (that's 50 times longer than a standard halogen). The most powerful LED downlight replacement is the Galaxy 5-7w LED Downlight which uses about 7 watts of electricity and gives you about 85% of the light output of a 50w halogen (while lasting 50,000 hours - if you used it for 6hrs/day 365 days a year it would last for an amazing 24 years).
Can I Use LED Lighting in my Old Fittings?
LED lights are designed to replace your existing lighting. This means that you can simply replace your old halogen downlights with our LED downlights or replace your old globes with our LED light globes. So don't worry LED lighting is designed so you won't have to change anything and you can install it in seconds. Take for example the Galaxy Par 30, it fits straight into your old Par 30 fitting and you save money.
Benefits Of LED Lighting:
- LED lights are longer lasting than traditional lighting and downlights, so you don't have to replace your lights all the time!
- LED lighting uses less power with energy efficient lights which means they are cheaper to run.
- LED lights will help you meet BASIX standards for efficiency in new homes.
- Low heat means LED lights are much safer and will reduce how hard your air conditioner has to work.
- Energy efficient lights create less carbon emissions, so they are better for the environment.
- You don't have to sacrifice the quality of lights as energy efficient lights bathe the room in a calm warmwhite glow.
- Due to their longer life, you need to purchase less globes/downlights which means less lights are produced and less lights go to landfill.
