Save Energy, Money, and the Environment with LED Lighting Upgrades and Replacements in Auckland

It is best to talk to a professional about your requirements. There are many factors to consider when choosing LEDs including:
• Colour temperature
LEDs can range from about 1800 kelvin (Very warm) to 6000k (Very cool) We recommend somewhere between 2400k and 3000k for homes (some people prefer 4000k which is fine too) The higher the number, the more white, or blue white the light output becomes

• Lumen output
The brightness of a light it measured in lumens. We often disregard the wattage as it isnt a true measure of how bright a light fitting will be. An inefficient light could have a wattage of 12 watts and an output of 800 lumens whereas a good quality LED could produce the same lumen output and only use 8 watts. There are various ways of calculating how bright a space needs to be illuminated and its best to talk to a professional about this
• CRI rating
As mentioned, the CRI rating will affect the price of the light fitting. Choosing the right CRI to meet your application and your budget will determine what CRI you end up with
• Warranty
The warranty doesn’t usually match the intended lifespan of the light fitting. It is best to choose a light which has a decent warranty from a reputable company that will replace the fitting if it fails prematurely

This depends on ceiling height, downlight size and ease of access. The right type of downlight needs to be selected first and then the labour cost will be calculated based on how difficult the job will be.

As a rough indication, a mid-range downlight might cost around $50 and it may take on average 10 minutes per light to swap over for a full house lot, at $95 + GST per hour. There are other costs like sundries and travel charges on top of this, but it should give you a ballpark figure
