The Lighting category brings together high-performance LED lights, smart lighting systems, ceiling lights, wall lights, downlights, floodlights, pendant lights, LED strip lights, and outdoor lighting built for modern Australian homes and commercial spaces. Buyers reviewing this range often compare lumen output, colour temperature options, dimming compatibility, installation format, IP ratings, and long-term reliability.
From tunable white and RGBW smart bulbs to GU10 LED downlights, IC-4 rated fittings, LED panels, solar lights, and weatherproof light switches, the category covers energy-efficient solutions designed for ambient, task, accent, and architectural lighting. Products include options engineered for durability with aluminium heatsink housing, polycarbonate diffusers, IK08 impact resistance, and Australian 240V AC compatibility.
Whether evaluating wall sconces, pathway bollard lights, LED flood lights IP65, garage workshop battens, or decorative chandelier LED pendants, the focus remains consistent: strong lumen output, colour accuracy, stable dimming, and certified electrical safety.
Key Buying Considerations
Light Output & Efficiency
- Lumen output (lm) and lumens per watt (lm/W) help compare brightness and energy cost.
- COB LED downlights and SMD2835/ SMD5050 strip lighting provide strong efficiency with minimal heat.
- Options include zero-flicker dimmable LED drivers, flicker-free driver modules, and long LED lifespan of 25,000–50,000 hrs with L70 maintenance.
Colour Quality & Ambience
- CRI>80 and CRI>90 premium options suitable for kitchens, retail, and task areas.
- CCT ranges: 2700K–6500K (warm white, cool white, daylight).
- Smart lighting provides tunable white and full RGBW output for mood-specific scenes and human-centric lighting (HCL) to support circadian rhythm lighting.
Installation Type & Fitment
- Retrofit GU10 LED, 12V MR16 LED replacement lamps, LED lamp E27 globes, B22 smart bulb options.
- Integrated LED downlights including 75mm and 90mm cut-out sizes, IC-4 rated downlight options, fire-rated LED downlights, and recessed mounting kits.
- Ceiling canopy pendant fittings, surface-mount panels, recessed panel lights, and batten LED fittings.
- High bay LED and low bay LED for warehouse lighting.
Smart Lighting Compatibility
- Philips Hue, LIFX, TP-Link Kasa, Wi-Fi smart bulbs, Zigbee smart bulbs, Bluetooth Mesh lighting.
- Philips Hue Bridge connectivity, Casambi mesh control, DALI dimmable drivers, 0-10V dimmable, trailing-edge dimmable support.
- Scene lighting presets, remote control dimmer, RF remote controller, smart switch compatibility.
Durability, Weather Protection & Safety
- IP44 bathroom lights, IP54 outdoor strips, IP65 floodlights, PIR sensor outdoor light, dusk-to-dawn sensor fittings.
- Die-cast aluminium body, aluminium heatsink housing, waterproof junction box options.
- Light fittings engineered with external photocell sensors, occupancy sensor switch, emergency maintain/non-maintain drivers.

Price & Value Insights
The Lighting category provides options across standard, mid-tier, and premium ranges.
- Budget LED bulbs, multi-pack LEDs, LED replacement lamps provide excellent starting price points with strong lm/W output suitable for everyday use.
- Mid-tier solutions such as GU10 LED downlights, LED panels 600x600, and LED strip kits (12V and 24V with dedicated drivers) offer a balance of energy efficiency, quality diffusers, and reliable heat management.
- Premium tiers include decorative pendant light fittings, vintage filament LED globes, smart lighting kits, tunable white controllers, Casambi-enabled fittings, and high-accuracy CRI>90 downlights engineered for architectural lighting.
Long-term value is often determined by lumen maintenance, LED driver quality, dimming stability, and the extended warranty range (short-term 3-year or extended 5-year warranties). Lower power consumption combined with 25,000–50,000 hr lifespans reduces total lifetime cost significantly compared to older halogen or fluorescent formats.
