What Our LED Office Lighting Covers
Every project is scoped to the building and the brief. Here is what a typical office lighting engagement includes, as part of our commercial LED lighting service.
- Site Survey and Lux DesignOn-site measurement of existing light levels, desk layouts, and ceiling configurations. Office lighting designs are prepared to AS/NZS 1680.1 requirements for task areas.
- Panel Light and Troffer SupplyLED panel lights, troffers, and recessed fittings sized to ceiling grid dimensions. Products sourced from our office range.
- InstallationLicensed installation including circuit isolation, ceiling grid work, and decommissioning of legacy fluorescent fittings. Work is typically staged after hours for occupied buildings.
- DALI and Controls IntegrationCommissioning of new fixtures to existing DALI or BMS protocols, including scene setting, daylight harvesting, and occupancy sensing where specified.
- Emergency and Exit LightingAS 2293 compliant emergency lighting integrated alongside the office lighting upgrade where required.
- Compliance DocumentationTest certificates, as-built drawings, and compliance documentation handed over at project completion.
How We Deliver Office Lighting Projects
The same process applies whether the project is a single tenancy or a multi-floor upgrade. Each step is agreed with the building owner or facility manager before work begins.
- 01
Site Survey
We visit the office space, measure existing lux levels, note ceiling types and grid configurations, and document any constraints. Tenant operating hours, BMS protocols, and heritage ceiling details are all captured at this stage.
- 02
Design and Specification
Fixture selection, lux calculations to AS/NZS 1680.1, colour temperature recommendations, and controls specification. The design accounts for natural light, partition layouts, and different task areas.
- 03
Quote and Approval
A written quote covering scope, products, timeline, and staging options. Multi-floor projects can be phased to suit building operations.
- 04
Installation
Licensed electricians install after hours or in staged sections to minimise disruption. Legacy fluorescent fittings are removed and disposed of responsibly.
- 05
Commissioning and Handover
Final lux testing, controls commissioning, and documentation handover. The facility manager walks through lighting controls and scenes before sign-off. Learn more about our team.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Australian standard for office lighting?
- Office lighting installations are designed to AS/NZS 1680.1, which specifies minimum lux levels for different task areas. General office areas typically require 320 lux at desk height, with higher levels for detailed work. Compliance is verified during the design phase before any fixtures are specified.
- What colour temperature works best in offices?
- 4000K (neutral white) is the most common choice for general office lighting. It provides clear visibility without the harshness of cool white, and supports alertness during working hours. Some spaces like lobbies and breakout areas benefit from warmer temperatures around 3000K.
- Do you supply only, or supply and install?
- Both options are available. Supply-only works for projects where your own electrical contractor handles installation. For most commercial office projects, clients prefer a combined design, supply, and installation package so the specification, product, and installation are all covered by one team.
- Can office lighting upgrades be done after hours?
- After-hours and staged installations are common for occupied commercial offices. Scope, sequence, and timing are agreed with the facility manager or building management during the design phase. The goal is to minimise disruption to tenants.
- Is an office LED upgrade eligible for the NSW Energy Savings Scheme?
- Eligibility depends on the existing lighting type, operating hours, and building classification. The Energy Savings Scheme (ESS) can offset part of the project cost through Energy Savings Certificates. Eligibility is something we can assess as part of the site survey.
- Do you integrate with existing building management systems?
- DALI wireless controls and BMS integration are part of the specification process. If the building already runs a DALI or similar protocol, new LED fixtures can be commissioned to work within the existing system. The level of integration depends on what is already in place.
The NSW Energy Savings Scheme and NABERS energy ratings are common considerations for commercial office upgrades. We can discuss how these apply to your building during the site survey.
