Frequently Asked Questions

How much does LED retrofitting cost in Auckland?

LED retrofitting in Auckland typically costs between $30 and $100 per downlight swap and $150 to $400 per new fitting. Bulk pricing is available for whole-home and commercial retrofits.

How much can LED retrofitting save on power bills?

Replacing halogen and incandescent fittings with LED can cut lighting power use by up to 80 percent. Most homes recover the cost within two years.

How long do LED lights last?

Quality LED fittings last between 25,000 and 50,000 hours, equivalent to 15 to 25 years in normal home use. They also produce less heat and reduce fire risk.

Can LEDs be dimmed?

Yes, with the right driver and dimmer. We install dimmable LEDs paired with compatible dimmers to avoid flicker or buzz.

Are LED downlights safer than halogens?

Yes. LED downlights run far cooler than halogens, which reduces the risk of overheating, ceiling insulation contact issues and fire.

Can I keep my existing fittings and just change the bulbs?

Sometimes. Many older fittings can take screw-in or pin-base LED retrofits. Older transformers and dimmers may need replacing for full LED compatibility. We assess this on site.
