Commercial Lighting MELBOURNE
Your local experts in Commercial Lighting
Commercial lighting is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. The right lighting for a retail shop is different from a warehouse, which is different again from a professional office or a medical practice. Get it right and your space works better, your energy bills are lower, and your staff and customers notice. Get it wrong and you’re paying to fix it twice.
We carry out commercial lighting installations and upgrades for Melbourne businesses across all sectors — LED office and retail lighting, warehouse high-bay installations, emergency and exit lighting compliance, and commercial exterior lighting. Licensed, certified, and fully documented on completion. Based in Melbourne’s Western suburbs, servicing all of Melbourne.
Emergency and exit lighting, what Melbourne businesses need to know.
Emergency lighting and exit signs are mandatory for all commercial tenancies in Victoria under Australian Standard AS 2293 and the National Construction Code. They must be installed before an occupation certificate is issued, tested regularly, and maintained with a compliance logbook. Non-compliance creates liability — in the event of an emergency on your premises, failed emergency lighting is a significant legal exposure.
We supply and install emergency lighting and exit signs for commercial tenancies across Melbourne — including new installations for fit-outs, replacements for failed or end-of-life units, and AS 2293 compliance testing and logbook maintenance for existing systems. Every installation is certified and documented on completion.
What’s included in a Rincon Electrical commercial lighting installation.
Every commercial lighting installation starts with an understanding of your environment and requirements. For LED upgrades, we assess your existing fittings, circuit capacity, and any specific lux level or colour temperature requirements for your industry before specifying the replacement fittings. For emergency lighting, we identify all required locations under AS 2293 before any hardware is ordered.
Installation includes supply and installation of all specified fittings, connection to existing circuits or new circuit installation where required, dimmer and control system installation where specified, full testing of all fittings before we leave, emergency lighting battery and function testing to AS 2293, compliance certification and logbook entry for emergency systems, and a Certificate of Electrical Safety on completion.
Commercial lighting for Melbourne businesses across all sectors.
Different commercial environments have different lighting requirements — lux levels, colour temperature, IP ratings, and compliance obligations vary significantly by industry and space type. We design and install commercial lighting for the specific demands of your environment, not a generic one-size-fits-all specification.
Our commercial lighting clients include professional offices and co-working spaces, retail shops and showrooms, warehouses and distribution centres, medical and allied health practices, childcare centres and schools, hospitality venues, food production and commercial kitchen environments, and commercial property owners managing multi-tenancy buildings. We carry out both new installations and upgrades to existing systems.
What a commercial lighting upgrade actually delivers:
- Energy savings — commercial LED fittings use 50–75% less electricity than fluorescent and halogen equivalents; for a typical Melbourne office or warehouse, this translates to thousands of dollars per year.
- Lower maintenance costs — LED fittings last 50,000+ hours versus 8,000–15,000 for fluorescent tubes; fewer replacements, less time with maintenance contractors on site.
- Better working environment — well-designed LED lighting at the correct lux level and colour temperature reduces eye strain, improves concentration, and contributes to staff wellbeing and productivity.
- Retail sales performance — correctly designed retail display lighting increases product visibility and dwell time; lighting quality directly influences purchase decisions.
- Government incentives — Victorian energy efficiency programs have been available for commercial LED upgrades; a licensed installation with documentation is required to access them.

Aymen was an absolute life saver!
Aymen was a life saver. He turned up on a Saturday and spent around 4 hours on site installing our Tesla wall charger. It was a harder install than expected and he and his apprentice nailed it. Very happy with their work and would recommend them to all.

Commercial Lighting FAQ
Your Commercial Lighting questions answered.
Is emergency lighting required for commercial premises in Victoria?
Yes. Emergency lighting and exit signs are mandatory for all commercial tenancies under Australian Standard AS 2293 and the National Construction Code. They must be installed and certified before an occupation certificate is issued for a new tenancy or fit-out, and must be maintained and tested at regular intervals. Non-compliance creates legal liability and can delay occupation. We install, certify, and maintain emergency lighting systems across Melbourne.
How much can my business save by switching to LED lighting?
Commercial LED fittings typically use 50–75% less electricity than fluorescent and halogen equivalents. For a Melbourne office with 40 fluorescent fittings running 10 hours per day, switching to LED can reduce lighting energy costs by $2,000 to $4,000 per year depending on your electricity tariff. Warehouse high-bay LED upgrades from metal halide can produce even greater savings. We can provide an energy savings estimate as part of a commercial lighting assessment.
Can you replace fluorescent tubes with LED in an existing commercial installation?
Yes. In many cases, existing fluorescent fittings can be retrofitted with LED tubes or replacement LED panels on the existing circuit — reducing the cost of the upgrade compared to a full fitting replacement. We assess your existing fittings and wiring before recommending the most cost-effective LED upgrade approach for your specific installation.
What is the right lighting level for a commercial office?
Australian Standard AS 1680 specifies minimum lux levels for commercial environments. For a general office workspace, the minimum recommended level is 320 lux at desk height, with 400 lux recommended for tasks requiring sustained concentration. For reception areas, corridors, and meeting rooms, different lux levels apply. We assess your existing lighting levels and design the LED upgrade to meet or exceed the AS 1680 recommendations for your specific workspace.
Do you design and install lighting for retail displays and showrooms?
Yes. Retail and showroom lighting is a specialist area — the lighting quality directly influences how products are perceived and whether customers purchase. We install track lighting, LED strip, adjustable display downlights, and feature lighting for retail environments, working to your display layout and product requirements. We advise on colour temperature and CRI (colour rendering index) to ensure your products are presented in the best light.
What lighting is required for a warehouse or industrial premises?
Warehouse lighting must meet the minimum lux levels specified in AS 1680 for the tasks being performed — general storage areas typically require 80–160 lux, picking and packing areas require 160–320 lux, and quality inspection areas may require 500 lux or more. LED high-bay fittings are the standard for warehouse environments — they provide high lumen output, long lifespan, and significant energy savings over metal halide alternatives. We carry out warehouse lighting assessments and full LED high-bay installations.
Can you install smart lighting controls for commercial premises?
Yes. We install occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting controls, smart dimming systems, and programmable lighting schedules for commercial energy management. Smart lighting controls can reduce commercial lighting energy consumption by a further 20–40% on top of the savings from LED fittings alone, by ensuring lights are only on when and where they’re needed.
