Delivering safe, energy-efficient lighting upgrades for critical and community infrastructure across Queensland
Lighting Upgrades That Make an Impact
Our recent work at Strathpine Swans AFL Club illustrates what a targeted lighting upgrade can achieve. Designed around the club’s real operational needs, the solution delivered safer night-time use, higher energy efficiency and minimal disruption.
While this project focused on a community sports club, the same principles apply across schools, councils, and public recreational facilities.
Upgrading lighting systems isn’t just a technical task. It’s a long-term investment in safety, compliance and energy performance. We plan and execute each project with this broader vision in mind.
We partner with local governments, schools and community-based organisations across Queensland to deliver efficient, future-ready lighting upgrades.
We also deliver lighting upgrades for sporting clubs and recreational venues across the state.
Lighting Upgrades Within an Asset Management Approach
Upgrading lighting infrastructure often forms part of a broader asset management approach, where planned improvements support long-term reliability, compliance and efficiency. By replacing outdated systems with high-efficiency LED solutions and integrated controls, we reduce operational costs, extend asset life and ensure ongoing compliance.
These lighting improvements support long-term planning, reduce the need for reactive maintenance and improve the overall performance of site infrastructure.
