Lighting is the single easiest electricity cost to cut in any home or business, and it’s the one most people overlook. If your home still has halogen downlights, incandescent globes, or old fluorescent tubes, you’re spending significantly more than you need to on electricity every single month.
Modern LED technology has transformed what’s possible. The best LEDs use 85% less electricity than the incandescent bulbs they replace, produce more usable light, run cooler, and last more than 15 times longer. There’s no warmup period, no flicker, and no compromise on brightness or colour quality.
Beyond a simple globe swap, we help homeowners and businesses go further, using motion sensors to eliminate wasted light in low-traffic areas, timer controls to automate outdoor and commercial lighting, and dimmer-compatible LEDs to give you complete control over your environment and your energy bill.
We specify lighting based on your situation, the right product for a home living room is different from a commercial warehouse or office fitout.
CFLs use 25–35% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer. Halogens use around 30% less energy. Both are improvements on traditional bulbs, but they can't match LED performance or lifespan. If you have CFLs or halogens, it's still worth making the switch to LED.
Lighting typically accounts for 20–40% of a home electricity bill and up to 40% of a commercial bill. Switching to LED cuts that specific cost by up to 90%, which is immediately visible on your next quarterly statement.
You don't have to replace every globe at once. Replacing just the five lights you use most (main living areas, kitchen, outdoor) delivers 75% of the full savings. We identify those lights in the energy audit.
Halogen downlights generate significant heat, enough to noticeably warm a room. LED downlights produce almost no heat, reducing your air-conditioning load and compounding the energy savings during Adelaide's hot summers.
We walk your property and assess every light fitting, identifying what you have, what you're paying for it, and what the switch to LED would save you. You see the numbers before you commit to anything.
Every LED globe and fitting we supply carries SAA Australian Safety certification and a 7-year warranty. We don't source cheap imports, we use products we'd install in our own homes, with real warranty backing from the manufacturer.
Our licensed electricians install every fitting correctly and safely. For simple globe replacements we're usually done in a few hours. For full rewires, dimmer upgrades, or sensor installations, we schedule a half or full-day job.
We install PIR motion detectors in hallways, bathrooms, storerooms, carparks, and any area where lights get left on accidentally. Sensors pay for themselves quickly in households and businesses with high foot traffic through low-use areas.
Outdoor lighting, security lights, and commercial signage don't need to be on all night. We install timer controls and twilight sensors that automate your lighting, on at dusk, off at dawn, or to a custom schedule you set.
If any globe or fitting develops a fault within its 7-year warranty period, we handle the claim and replacement. We're a local Adelaide business. You're not chasing an overseas manufacturer or a call centre for warranty service.

Lindsay and team were so helpful in getting us setup at home with battery and EV charger. They went above and beyond to ensure we got everything installed in time to receive the Gov grants. They even helped to replace our old solar equipment free of charge which was greatly appreciated. They showed a lot of care for us as clients and for that I am really grateful and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. The products are working great now so we are really happy with our decision!

Bright Earth Solar provided an Outstanding Service and a Seamless Installation Experience. From the initial consultation through to the final system check, the entire process was handled with exceptional professionalism. The team took the time to assess our energy usage carefully and recommended a battery storage solution that was genuinely right for our home and not simply the most expensive option available. The installation itself was completed efficiently and with minimal disruption. The electricians arrived on time, worked cleanly, and walked me through every aspect of the system before they left. Within the first period we have already seen a significant reduction in our energy bills, and having backup power during a brief grid outage last week gave us tremendous peace of mind. What truly set Bright Earth Solar apart was the quality of communication throughout. Every question was answered promptly and in plain language, without technical jargon. The aftercare support has been equally impressive. If you are considering solar battery storage, I would not hesitate to recommend Bright Earth Solar. The investment has already proven its worth, and we feel confident we are in excellent hands for the long term. Cheers, Kon.Posted on Google Vish BhardwaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent communication and speed of response. All questions and enquiries answered with guidance to independent sources to help me make the best choice for me. Once we agree to proceed, everything happened fast and as promised. Clean and respectful team installed the battery and after installation support was offered whenever we needed it. A great outcome for us - highly recommend
No. Modern LEDs come in the same colour temperatures as halogen and incandescent globes (warm white, cool white, daylight). We match the colour temperature to your existing lighting so the change won't stand out. If you want to change the tone of your lighting, we can do that too.
Quality LEDs are rated for 15,000–25,000 hours of operation. Running them for 8 hours a day, that's 5–8 years of daily use. The LEDs we supply come with a 7-year warranty, so if they fail before then, we replace them. In practice, most customers won't replace a globe for a decade.
Absolutely. Replacing just your five most-used lights saves 75% of the lighting savings you'd get from a full switch. We identify those priority lights in the audit. You can do the rest over time, many customers do a room at a time as old globes blow.
Yes, we supply and install compliant LED emergency exit lights and emergency batten luminaires for commercial properties. All products meet Australian Standards for emergency lighting and we can provide compliance documentation for your records.
It depends on the number of fittings and whether it's a full home or partial upgrade. The free energy audit gives an exact, itemised price before any commitment, useful if you're comparing LED lighting installers near you and want a real number, not a per-downlight guess.
Sometimes. LED dimmers are different from halogen dimmers, many older dimmers cause LEDs to flicker or buzz. We check compatibility during the audit and, where needed, replace the dimmer switch with an LED-compatible model. This is factored into your quote upfront.
Yes. We visit your property, assess your current lighting, and give you a clear report showing your current lighting cost and projected LED savings. There's no obligation to proceed, although in our experience, once customers see the numbers, they nearly always do.
Yes. Significantly. LED lighting draws far less power than halogen, which means your solar panels cover a greater proportion of your total home consumption. The combination of solar generation and LED reduction is more powerful than either on its own. We can model both together if you're considering solar too.
Your very next electricity bill. The savings are immediate from the day of installation. For a typical Adelaide home switching all halogens to LED, the quarterly bill reduction is usually noticeable enough to see clearly, particularly in summer when heating costs are lower and lighting spend is easier to isolate.
Often, yes. South Australia's Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS) provides rebates on energy-efficient upgrades, including LED lighting, for eligible households and businesses, in some cases covering a significant share of the cost. Eligibility depends on factors like your energy retailer, property type, and current lighting setup. Ask us about REPS eligibility when you book your free energy audit and we'll point you in the right direction.
