Lighting & Controls
Where we go deeper than a general electrician
We are a full-scope electrical contractor. Lighting and controls is the part we specialise in — and the part most electrical contractors subcontract or guess at.
Why it matters
LEDs cut the watts. Controls cut the hours.
Converting to LED reduces the connected load once, and that is where most lighting projects stop. Controls reduce how many hours those watts actually run — and on a typical commercial retrofit that is the larger half of the available savings.
The ranking surprises people. Task tuning, simply trimming maximum output to the level a space genuinely needs, is often the single biggest contributor and costs nothing to implement once the system is in. Occupancy control follows. Daylight harvesting is powerful at the perimeter and worthless in a windowless core, which is why blanket daylight specifications waste money.
It also means the hardware decision matters less than what happens after it is installed. A well-specified system left at factory defaults delivers a fraction of what it should — which is the condition we find most existing systems in.
Networked Lighting Controls
Systems where every fixture is individually addressable, monitored and adjustable — the difference between switching lights and managing them.

Sensor technology, placement and calibration — where most control projects quietly underperform.
Learn more →Commissioning
Programming, calibration and documented functional testing — the step that determines whether the system delivers anything.

Lighting power density, mandatory controls and the documentation your inspector will actually ask for.
Learn more →High-Mast & Sports Lighting
Apron, airfield, roadway and sports lighting — the tall poles most electrical contractors are not equipped to touch.
Learn more →Exterior & Site Lighting
Parking, facade, canopy and security lighting — the first thing a customer sees and the last thing anyone budgets for.
Learn more →Emergency & Egress
Exit signage, illuminated egress paths and the documented testing that keeps them defensible.
Learn more →Asset Mapping & GIS
Every fixture geolocated and catalogued, so a portfolio can be budgeted and maintained from data rather than from memory.

Most control systems we inspect are not doing what their owner thinks
Installed, never commissioned
Energised and left at factory defaults. The building carries the capital cost of the system while producing close to none of the savings.
Disabled by occupants
Lights cutting out during meetings, dimming too aggressively. People solve it by covering sensors or having the behaviour switched off entirely.
Drifted out of alignment
Spaces repurposed without rezoning, sensors blocked during a fit-out, schedules never updated after operating hours changed.
All three are usually recoverable through recommissioning alone — no new hardware. The equipment is already paid for; it just needs to be told what the building actually does.
