LED Strip Lighting Packages New Farm
Custom LED Strip Lighting Packages for New Farm Homes
Two adults, no children at home, and rooms used differently because of it. A written specification, one 24V system, licensed mains work.
New Farm is a suburb where couple families without children outnumber couple families with them by better than two to one: 59.1% against 28.1% of 2,809 families at the 2021 Census (ABS SAL32129). Lighting specified for a family home is the wrong brief here. Luxe Lighting designs LED strip lighting around the rooms two adults use in the evening, supplies them from one matched 24V Signature system, and installs through a licensed Queensland electrical contractor. There is no tier to pick from, because none is published — what you are buying is the specification. The enquiry then runs a published sequence: your project details reviewed, a lighting system recommended, a quote or purchase order sent.

Why This Service Matters in New Farm
In New Farm (ABS SAL32129) 59.1% of the suburb's 2,809 families were couple families without children at the 2021 Census, 1,660 of them, against 28.1% couple families with children, 790. One-parent families account for 10.1% and other families 2.6%. Nationally the split runs the other way: 38.8% of families without children against 43.7% with. Across the Brisbane City local government area it runs the same way as the nation, 38.5% against 44.9%. Even the wider inner city records 47.9% without against 37.4% with. New Farm is roughly twenty percentage points clear of both, at a ratio of 2.10 to one — it does not merely exceed the national pattern, it runs in the opposite direction to it.
Two further figures sit behind that. The average New Farm household holds 1.9 people, and of 5,710 occupied private dwellings 48.8% are family households against 42.5% lone-person households. At most 1,075 of those dwellings contain children, so the great majority do not.
What that changes is the brief. Lighting advice written for the national pattern spends its effort on rooms most homes here are not being asked to provide — a children's wing, homework light, a bath-time routine. Take those out and the question stops being coverage and becomes atmosphere and control across the few rooms two adults share in the evening: a kitchen, a living space, the hallway between them, an entry. The strongest customer account Luxe has is exactly that room — "The lighting has completely changed the way the kitchen looks."
Where two adults share the home it is also a joint decision, on discretionary money, about a result they will both live with — which is why the system matters more than the strip does. One 100W driver in the range is dimmable, the WiFi and 2.4G control layer includes a 5-in-1 controller, and the Signature strips are sized to their own matching profiles on a shared 24V bus — so levels and scenes can be set, and reset, without replacing anything. Three-quarters of New Farm's occupied dwellings are flats or apartments (74.5%), so an installation is specified per dwelling rather than per house type, measured in the rooms as built.
Common Problems We Solve
-
01
Almost everything written about lighting a home is written for a household with children in it
WHY IT HAPPENS
Nationally 43.7% of families have children against 38.8% without, and across Brisbane City 44.9% against 38.5%. In New Farm the ratio runs the other way: 59.1% without against 28.1% with.
WHY IT MATTERS
Advice built on the national pattern puts its effort into rooms and routines most homes here are not running, and skips the ones that are actually in use after dark.
WHAT WE DO
The specification starts from the rooms two adults use in the evening, measured at a consultation rather than assumed from a floor plan, and drawn from the 24V Signature system.
-
02
Buying coverage when the real question is level, warmth and control
WHY IT HAPPENS
The average household holds 1.9 people, and 42.5% of occupied dwellings are lone-person households against 48.8% family households. Evening use concentrates in a small number of shared rooms.
WHY IT MATTERS
Lighting everything evenly costs more, achieves less, and leaves nothing adjustable once it's in.
WHAT WE DO
Dimming and scene control are specified as part of the design: the 100W 24V driver is the dimmable one, and the WiFi and 2.4G control layer includes a 5-in-1 controller.
-
03
"It is only 24 volts, so nobody needs a licence" — and its mirror image, "strip lighting is illegal to touch"
WHY IT HAPPENS
Both misread the Act. Section 18(2)(p) and (q) exclude connecting/disconnecting prescribed equipment only where all four conditions hold together — safely performable without electrical expertise, extra low voltage, no hazardous atmosphere, not a cathodic protection system.
WHY IT MATTERS
The boundary is not the voltage on its own. The mains side — wiring a 24V driver into a circuit, altering fixed wiring, anything at the switchboard — is electrical work, and Queensland requires a contractor licence where it's done as a business.
WHAT WE DO
Installation runs through the trade arm on Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence #90549; a customer's own electrician can instead buy the system and install under their own licence.
-
04
Wanting the run to carry on out onto the balcony
WHY IT HAPPENS
In a suburb where most homes are apartments, the balcony is the outdoor space a reader is most likely to have. But only two drivers carry published IP figures — no strip, profile, controller, remote or garden light does.
WHY IT MATTERS
Under IEC 60529 a driver's rating cannot be read across to a strip. "No rating" means "not classified," not "probably fine" — and a balcony is semi-exposed, exactly where that gap does the most damage.
WHAT WE DO
Interior, dry positions only — no outdoor, balcony or wet-area suitability is claimed for any component. Exterior work is carried by the 24V RGB+CCT garden lights and fixture work instead, on the same control layer.
-
05
There is no package to choose from, and no price for one
WHY IT HAPPENS
The packages collection still reads "Our Packages are Coming soon." It lists four individually priced components, and no tier, inclusion list, bundle price or warranty term is published anywhere.
WHY IT MATTERS
A buyer cannot compare what does not exist, and a page that invented a tier would be quoting a product the business does not sell.
WHAT WE DO
Cost is anchored on the four component prices actually displayed — $175.00, $350.00, $325.00 and $140.00 — and built up from the run lengths a design calls for.
-
06
Two years on, a driver fails or a second room is wanted, and nobody can tell what was installed
WHY IT HAPPENS
Strip lighting is easy to buy as an assortment — a strip from one supplier, a profile that nearly fits, a driver sized by guess — and none of it is written down anywhere.
WHY IT MATTERS
In homes specified around two adults' evening use, a second room later is a normal next step rather than an exception, and a system nobody can identify has to be replaced instead of extended.
WHAT WE DO
The catalogue is one coherent 24V system: strips with profiles sized to match them, shared 24V drivers, and one WiFi and 2.4G control layer that also runs the garden lights. Named parts on a common bus can still be matched and re-ordered later, by any electrician.
Interior Feature Lighting for the Rooms You Use After Dark
Under-bench, shelf, cabinet, cove, joinery and hallway runs in matched Signature aluminium profile, on a 24V driver and the WiFi/2.4G control layer. Evening use lands in a small number of shared rooms.
Dimming and Scene Control on One 24V System
WiFi and 2.4G control including a 5-in-1 controller, running across the same 24V bus as the strips, profiles and garden lights. Which driver a design uses is decided by what you want to do with the light afterwards.
The 240V Side of a 24V Job
Installation by the trade arm, holder of Licence #90549, covering the 240V side: driver wiring and alterations to fixed wiring. The licensed installer travels from the Buderim premises, the only one the business publishes.
Exterior Lighting: Garden Lights and Fixtures, Not Strip
Only 20.4% of occupied dwellings are separate houses, so exterior work is a minority job here. No strip, profile or controller carries a published IP rating — the IP67 figure belongs to one driver's enclosure alone.
Trade Supply and Lighting Consultations for Electricians and Builders
53.4% of occupied dwellings are rented, so a substantial share of the work is commissioned by builders, fitout contractors and owners' electricians. Supply ships nationally and needs no local footprint.
Custom Signage and Neon, Made to Order
Dotless LED flex signage from a brief — wording, dimensions, colour, a logo or sketch — through quote, production, installation and activation. A design mockup is approved before production begins.
Why Trust Luxe Lighting
What a client is left holding when the job ends is the point of it, not an afterthought. The lighting is a matched 24V system rather than an assortment — Signature strips sized to their own Signature profiles, shared 24V drivers, one WiFi and 2.4G control layer — so years later a part can still be named and re-ordered, by any electrician, without guesswork. The published sequence after an enquiry reads "We review your project details," "We recommend the right lighting system," "We send through a quote / purchase order." The mains side is carried out by the trade arm under Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence #90549, published by the business on its own trade site. What is not left behind: anything local. No job here is on record, the reviews name people rather than suburbs, the showcase names no site, and Buderim is the one address the business publishes.

Frequently Asked Questions
We do not have children. Does that actually change what we should be lighting?
It changes the brief more than most people expect. In New Farm 59.1% of families were couple families without children against 28.1% with — nationally those figures are 38.8% and 43.7%. Take a children's wing, homework light and a bath-time routine out of a lighting brief and what is left is a small number of rooms two adults use in the evening: a dimming and control question, which is why the 100W dimmable driver and the WiFi/2.4G control layer usually matter more than the strip choice.
How quickly does this actually happen?
The honest answer is a process rather than a promise: no response time for New Farm has ever been published. What is published is the sequence — "We review your project details," "We recommend the right lighting system," "We send through a quote / purchase order." One reviewer, John K, records a quote within 30 minutes and the job completed the next day; that is one customer's experience, not a standard being offered here.
You are based on the Sunshine Coast. Do you actually work in New Farm?
Installation in New Farm is offered on the same model as everywhere else: a licensed installer travelling from the business's only premises, 5/13 Kayleigh Dr, Buderim. There is no office, depot, showroom or crew in New Farm. The trade site's own published service statement names the region this suburb sits in.
What is actually in a package, and what does it cost?
A specification, not a tier. The consultation establishes which rooms and which effects; the design fixes runs, driver positions and control zones; supply comes from one matched 24V system; a licensed electrician carries out the mains-side installation. There is no bundle price because no bundle exists.
How much of a 24V install can I legally do myself in Queensland?
Less than the voltage alone suggests. The mains side — hardwiring a driver into a circuit, running a new lighting circuit, anything at the switchboard — is licensed work. Queensland requires an electrical work licence to carry out electrical work at all, and an electrical contractor licence on top where the work is done as part of a business.
We are electricians or builders. Can we buy at trade pricing and fit it ourselves?
Yes. Trade pricing, bulk supply and lighting consultations are offered to electricians and builders, and the homepage addresses trade professionals alongside personal projects. Trade supply does not depend on where the installation service reaches.
Get a Quote for Your New Farm Project
Nothing here is picked off a menu, so the first real step is a conversation about rooms: which runs go where, which zones switch together, what size driver the load needs and where it can sit. What comes back is a quote or purchase order — the point at which the specification stops being a conversation and becomes a document.

Nothing here is picked off a menu, so the first real step is a conversation about rooms. What it settles: which runs go where, which zones switch together, what size driver the load needs and where it can sit, and which named components the design calls for - four of them with prices displayed on the site. In a suburb where couple families without children outnumber couple families with them by better than two to one, most of that time goes on the handful of rooms two adults are actually in after dark, and on how much of the light they want to be able to change afterwards. What comes back is a quote or purchase order, the point at which the specification stops being a conversation and becomes a document. Electricians, builders and fitout contractors working inside New Farm dwellings use the same booking for trade pricing and bulk supply, and install under their own licence. The contact page is where either version starts.
