Lighting does more than just help you see — it shapes the mood, improves functionality and highlights the design of every room. Whether you’re planning a new build or upgrading an older home, understanding the different types of lighting is key to creating a space that’s practical, stylish and energy efficient.

Downlights are a popular lighting choice in modern Australian homes, but installing them without care can pose a real fire risk.

Whether you’re building from scratch or renovating an existing home, planning your lighting layout early can help avoid costly mistakes and ensure your design meets both your needs and current energy efficiency standards.
