Led Lighting upgrades are becoming more and more relevant with the phase out of halogen, incandescent and fluorescent traditional lighting, to a new and more energy efficient LED Light.
Press the button below for a quotation on an LED lighting upgrade at your home.
- High Energy Consumption: Incandescent and some fluorescent bulbs are known for their high energy consumption, resulting in higher electricity bills.
- Short Lifespan: Incandescent bulbs have a relatively short lifespan, which means they need frequent replacement. This can be inconvenient and costly.
- Dimming and Flickering: Older fluorescent and incandescent bulbs often suffer from dimming and flickering as they age, which can be annoying and even cause eye strain.
- Inconsistent Light Quality: Traditional bulbs may provide inconsistent or poor-quality lighting, with variations in color temperature and brightness.
- Heat Emission: Incandescent bulbs emit a significant amount of heat, making them inefficient and potentially dangerous in certain applications.
- Toxic Materials: Some fluorescent bulbs contain hazardous materials like mercury, which can pose environmental risks if not disposed of properly.
- Slow Warm-Up: Fluorescent bulbs can take some time to reach their full brightness, which can be inconvenient in certain situations.
- Limited Dimming Compatibility: Not all non-LED bulbs are dimmable, which restricts your ability to control light levels.
- Bulb Compatibility Issues: Traditional fixtures may not be compatible with LED bulbs without modifications, limiting your options for energy-efficient upgrades.
- Maintenance Costs: Frequent bulb replacements and maintenance can be costly and time-consuming in commercial and industrial settings.
- Heat-Related Problems: High-heat emissions from traditional lighting can lead to discomfort, and in some cases, overheating in confined spaces.
- Limited Lifespan Of Fluorescent Tubes: Fluorescent tubes have a limited lifespan and can degrade in performance over time.
- Inefficient Outdoor Lighting: Non-LED outdoor lighting solutions, can be inefficient and result in light pollution.
- Impact On Environmental Goals: Non-LED lighting technologies contribute to higher energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, which can hinder sustainability goals.
- Safety Concerns: Traditional lighting solutions can pose safety concerns due to the heat they emit and their potential for fire hazards.
We provide popular brands such as SAL, ATOM, Clipsal and Voltex to give you a wide variety of products to suit any home with any lighting idea to aspire for.

- Longevity: LED bulbs have a remarkably long lifespan compared to incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. They can last for tens of thousands of hours, which means you'll need to replace them less frequently.
- Cost Savings: While LED bulbs often have a higher upfront cost than traditional bulbs, they pay for themselves through energy savings and longevity.
- Quality of Light: LED lighting provides high-quality, consistent illumination. You have the flexibility to choose from various color temperatures, allowing you to create the ideal ambiance for different rooms and activities.
- Dimmability: Many LED bulbs are dimmable, offering you control over the level of illumination to suit various tasks and moods.
- Smart Home Integration: Many LED lighting products can be integrated into smart home systems, allowing you to control them remotely through smartphone apps or voice assistants.
- Increased Property Value: An LED lighting upgrade can potentially increase the value of your home. Homebuyers often look for energy-efficient features, and LED lighting can be an attractive selling point.

I recently had Steve from Darebin Trade Services install an iStore 270L unit, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.
Steve was extremely friendly and easy to deal with from start to finish. He clearly explained my installation options and took the time to walk me through the different choices so I could make the right decision. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about helping his customers and making sure they’re comfortable with the process.
The job was completed quickly and efficiently, with no hassle at all. I originally purchased the iStore 270L for my property back in 2023 and was so impressed with the unit’s performance that I’ve now installed the same one for my mum. It’s a fantastic system.
Great service, great product, and a smooth experience overall. I would definitely recommend 👍

Old unit 30 plus years had done its job, replaced the evac unit with LCQ 450 Breamer unit and it is fantastic. Quite, cool and the boys that removed and replaced the units were fantastic. Started at 7am and finished buy 10.30. Everything cleaned up old unit taken away and we are very happy.
Thanks to Daribin trade services for doing a urgent job as our old unit had died.
To the whole team 5 stars totally recommend.

Darebin Trade Services were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. The receptionist who took my call was friendly, helpful, and even provided pricing upfront before booking the appointment. She also managed to fit me in at the last minute, which I really appreciated. Dave, the gas technician who attended, clearly explained what was going on with our hot water service and provided a straightforward quote before starting any work. He completed the job efficiently, was friendly throughout, and did an excellent job overall. Highly recommended!

Had my central heating gas system replaced by Darabin Trade Services. Nick gave a clear quote right away, and the installers arrived on time, communicated well, and did a nice job. When I asked for a few tweaks, they sorted it without fuss. I had a question later and Dom, the technician, knew his stuff, answered everything, and even made some smart improvements. The rebate process was smooth too.
Highly recommend them for hot water systems or anything heating/cooling related. Used them before, always great service.

Seamless process from quotation to installation. I was most impressed with Steven's installation of my Heat Pump Hot Water System. He was very experience, skillful, professional and friendly. The outcome was much better than I expected. A photo speaks a thousand words. Darebin Trade Services are highly recommended.

I had a heat pump hot water system installed. They came out and actually quoted, after looking at the job which a couple of other companies wouldn't do because I needed the hot water move to a new location. They came, and completed the work without any issues. Something that I thought was going to be complicated. It was quick and easy.

The installation went well, from the unit, plumbing, and electrical stuff. Although the job was scheduled at 8AM, then moved to 9AM due to company meeting. But the guys actually arrived 10:42AM. The installation took +5hours to complete. The Reclaim Heat Pump is very quiet, it is barely making a sound. As it is just a couple of days since installation, it's too soon to give the heat pump a complete review. But I recommend Darebin Trade Service.

Can't really ask for much more.

Worth a review!!! Could not recommend these guys more. We were having issues with our evaporative cooling needing a service in the peak of summer with a young baby at home. Being none the wiser we called out someone from Mr Emergency (incredibly silly idea) who didn’t even get on the roof to inspect the unit and quoted us $15k for a full replacement, giving us the hard sell on the spot and trying to say that if we don’t replace we’re essentially poisoning ourselves everytime we use the unit? I’m sorry what?? THANKFULLY we found Darebin who were able to come much quicker than expected, two guys on the roof within minutes of turning up. So thorough, didn’t muck around, quickly diagnosed that we needed a single part replaced and charged us $795 for call out, parts and labour!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFICIENT WORK, you have saved us from being scammed! We will be returning customers for sure.

We had a great experience with Darebin Trade Services. They were very informative and were competitive with price, but without sacrificing quality of workmanship or customer service. After being without hot water for a week we were so happy they were able to squeeze us in quickly. Thanks guys!

Had a great experience with Darebin Trade Services. From their arrival I knew we were in good hands. Tom and Pat asked us and explained everything we needed to know and the split system came up a treat. Would highly recommend Darebin Trade services if you want a split system installed professionally.

I want to give a huge shout-out to Darebin Trade Services (also known as Darebin Hot Water) for their exceptional service. They offered the best price for the hot water unit, including installation and the removal of my old system. The installers were punctual, efficient, and left everything spotless. I was particularly impressed by their attention to detail and the quality of their work—it was truly top-notch. It felt like they genuinely cared about doing a great job, and that made all the difference. Highly recommend them!

The perfect company to deal with. The lovely lady who took my call went out of her way to assist me, ringing back as promised and booking me in at a suitable time. She's a huge asset to the company, I just wish I remembered her name! 🙄
The service man was punctual, efficient and honest, a stellar service. I'll be recommending them to all who need the services they offer.

Easy to deal with, good communication. Got the cooler fixed pretty quickly and similarly the service of the heater. Only thing I would have liked, was for the attendant to take off his shoes when inside my home. I have a crawling toddler so very conscious of keeping my floors clean.

Really excellent service. I use them for all my evaporative cooling servicing and warranty repairs (I'm still under the 7 year warranty). Initially had an appointment for next week, but they called me back and managed to fit me in to a next day service. The serviceman was also really professional, friendly and knowledgeable.

After Contacting Darebin gas for a heater issue via email, I received a very prompt and professional response via phone first thing Monday morning. They were able to help with a quick appointment time and explanation of fees etc.

Thank you for the great service. We will highly recommended your company.

No, LED lighting offers versatile options to create different atmospheres, from warm and cozy to bright and energetic, ensuring that your space maintains its desired look and feel.
Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and some other bulbs contain hazardous materials. They should be disposed of properly, often at designated recycling centers, to prevent environmental contamination.
The payback period for an LED lighting upgrade varies based on factors like energy savings, usage, and electricity costs. However, most LED upgrades pay for themselves within a few years, with ongoing savings thereafter.
