LED lighting upgrades that look the same in every store.
Sales floor, back of house, signage and car park lighting moved to LED across the fleet, to one fitting and colour standard.
An LED lighting upgrade replaces fluorescent, halogen and older discharge lighting in a store with LED fittings. Nextage runs LED upgrades across retail store fleets with licensed electricians doing the installation: existing lighting surveyed, one fitting and colour standard set so stores match, priced per site, installed after hours and reported.
The problem
- Stores end up with a mix of tubes, downlights and colour temperatures, and the brand looks different in every one.
- Failed fittings get replaced one at a time with whatever the local electrician has.
- Nobody has counted the fittings across the fleet, so the upgrade cannot be priced or staged.
What's included
- Lighting survey per site: fitting types, counts, condition and controls
- One fitting schedule and colour temperature standard for the fleet
- Installation by licensed electricians, after hours where trading requires
- Removal and recycling of old tubes and fittings through proper channels
- A check of emergency and exit lighting while the ceiling is open
- Photo completion report per site
Public liability insurance: $20 million.

Price per site
Stage the upgrade across the capital cycle, worst stores first.
Install
Licensed electricians, after hours, one accountable team across states.
Measure and report
Before and after photos, and energy readings where the client wants the case evidenced.
A good fit
- Retail fleets with ageing fluorescent or halogen lighting
- Brands that want the same light and colour in every store
- Upgrades that need to stage across more than one financial year
Not a fit
- Architectural or theatrical lighting design
- A single domestic lighting job
- Anywhere a guaranteed energy saving is required up front. We measure, we do not promise a number

FAQ
About LED lighting upgrades
How much energy will an LED upgrade save?
It depends on what is being replaced, the hours the store trades and the controls. We do not quote a saving percentage in advance. Where the business case needs evidence, we measure before and after at the store.
Are there rebates for commercial LED upgrades?
Some states run energy saving schemes that can apply to commercial lighting. Eligibility depends on the scheme rules at the time of the work, so it should be checked before the upgrade is priced.
Can the upgrade happen without closing the store?
Usually. Work is scheduled after hours or in sections, so the sales floor keeps trading.
