Using a professional can SAVE you money!

Mint Lighting Design recently saved a client $2500 in light fittings alone (not including reduced installation costs or the ongoing energy saving in power consumption).

This client has a standard four-bedroom, single-storey 250sqm home and wanted a simple lighting solution using a product they had researched and selected.

We took the information from them regarding their needs (the design brief), and then strategically located the light fittings throughout their home to create lighting effects that both serviced the needs of the home and provided visual interest.

Our client received a clear lighting plan indicating the locations of the different light fittings, information on the best lamps to select for each area and a few helpful hints to get the most out of their lighting.

All that information, advice and instant savings of $2500!

The BCA guidelines require lighting not exceed 5W/M2 in your home. So what does that mean?

No more halogen downlights is the most obvious result, but simply replacing 50W downlights with LED versions isn't going to get you over the line either. The biggest problem home owners are facing is ending up with poor quality light in their homes, and no way to simply solve the problem. LED downlights range in quality from the laughable to the exquisite - and pricing usually matches. Without a detailed understanding of the properties of light and what current technologies are capable of, this new lighting world is a minefield.

Of course, the most interesting lighting opportunity to rise out of all this is.... we don't have to use downlights in our homes.

There are literally thousands of options for lighting your living spaces. Creating a design that meets aesthetics, budget and energy from that huge range is where engaging an independent lighting professional gives you the ultimate advantage.
