Licensed Electrical Contractor

LED Strip Lighting Packages North Lakes

Designed for the rooms you already live in, supplied from one matched 24V system, installed by a licensed Queensland electrical contractor.

North Lakes is a suburb of finished, occupied family houses: 82.1% of households here are family households against 70.5% nationally, and 96.1% of private dwellings were occupied at the 2021 Census against 89.9%. Luxe Lighting designs LED strip lighting packages for those homes - a free lighting design consultation, a design drawn for your rooms, supply from one matched 24V system, and installation by a licensed Queensland electrical contractor. The usual job here is a retrofit: the original builder-spec lighting in a kitchen and living area that a household of four or five long ago outgrew. Specify the whole house once, fit it in the stages you choose. Book the free consultation to start.

Licensed contractor · Free quotes, upfront pricing · Most installs done in a day

A package here is not a box off a shelf. Luxe Lighting publishes no tiers and no bundle prices - the packages collection still reads 'Our Packages are Coming soon' and lists four individually priced components - so a package means the same sequence every time: a free lighting design consultation, a design drawn for your rooms, supply from the 24V Signature component system, and installation by a licensed Queensland electrical contractor. What changes is the house it is drawn for. In North Lakes that is almost always a separate house - 84.9% of occupied dwellings are - with four or more bedrooms in three cases out of five, and it is finished, furnished and lived in while the work happens.

Why this service matters in North Lakes

Between the 2016 and 2021 Censuses the median age in North Lakes rose from 32 to 35 - three years in five - while the national median sat at 38 in both. A place ages faster than the country around it when it was settled in one wave rather than filled in over generations. The rest of the profile agrees: 11.1% of residents were 65 or over against 17.2% nationally, 23.9% under 15 against 18.2%.

Tenure corroborates it. Only 17.6% of homes were owned outright in 2021 against 31.0% nationally, and 41.5% carried a mortgage against 35.0%: 2.4 mortgaged homes for every outright-owned one, where nationally the two are close to level. Almost nobody here has finished paying, because almost nobody has had time to.

That cohort arrived as families and still is one: 82.1% of households are family households against 70.5% nationally, and 52.4% of families are couples with children against 43.7%. A date from outside the Census fixes the same wave: North Lakes State College states on its Queensland Government site that it was 'Established in 2002', beginning as a small Prep-Year 3 campus.

None of that is a growth story. Population rose 6.3% across those five years, the average dwelling still had 3.6 bedrooms at the end, and 96.1% of private dwellings were occupied against 89.9% nationally. What changed was the people, not the housing. The work here is retrofit work, into homes that are finished, furnished and lived in every night, where the original builder-spec lighting, a downlight grid or a central batten, no longer fits how the family uses the rooms.

Scope follows from the stock: 60.0% of occupied dwellings have four or more bedrooms against 34.8% nationally, and 84.9% are separate houses. Room height in an Australian house is a regulated dimension: NCC 2022 sets minimums of 2.4 m for habitable rooms other than kitchens and 2.1 m for kitchens, corridors and non-habitable rooms. Profiles, coves and pelmet runs are specified against that geometry. No measurement is assumed for any particular North Lakes house; consistent stock just means fewer unknowns in the design.

North Lakes is a master-planned suburb developed from the late 1990s. Luxe Lighting is not involved in, contracted to, supplying, partnered with or endorsed by that development, any developer associated with it, the town centre, the City of Moreton Bay, or the Department of Education or its schools. What remains is a design job: one 24V Signature system specified once for the whole house, then fitted room by room, every stage on the same bus and profile family.

Common problems we solve

The six ways strip lighting projects go wrong — and how a designed package avoids each one.

  1. The downlights are original to the house, and they light a floor plan rather than a family.

    Why it happens

    North Lakes was settled in one wave and has been ageing in place ever since - the median age moved from 32 to 35 between the 2016 and 2021 Censuses while the national median held at 38 - so the lighting in a great many of these homes is still the lighting they were handed, chosen before anyone had lived in them.

    Why it matters

    82.1% of households here are family households and the average home holds 2.9 people, so the kitchen and living area carry the whole evening for four or five people doing different things at once. One customer put the result of fixing it plainly: 'The lighting has completely changed the way the kitchen looks'.

    Our response

    The consultation starts in the room the household actually shares and re-lights it in layers - under-bench, shelf, cabinet and cove runs in matched Signature aluminium profile, dimmable on a 100W IP20 24V driver - instead of adding more of the same ceiling light.

  2. One person up early or late lights the whole house.

    Why it happens

    23.9% of North Lakes residents are under 15 against 18.2% nationally, and the average household here holds 2.9 people. Overhead lighting is designed to bring a whole room up to a working level at once, and nothing in that brief is about one person moving through a sleeping house.

    Why it matters

    In a household of five, the person moving to the kitchen at 5am or walking a child to the bathroom at midnight has one switch, and it lights the house for everyone in it.

    Our response

    Low-level circulation lighting on dimmable 24V strip, zoned and separately controlled through the WiFi and 2.4GHz layer or the Luxe Pro panel remote, so one person can move through the house at night without waking it.

  3. There is more house here than one install comfortably covers, and buying it piecemeal leaves parts that do not match.

    Why it happens

    60.0% of occupied North Lakes dwellings have four or more bedrooms against 34.8% nationally, and the average bedroom count did not move at all between the 2016 and 2021 Censuses - the houses are big and they have stayed that way.

    Why it matters

    Staging only works if every stage was drawn against the same system; a strip, profile, driver or controller bought a year later otherwise will not fit what is already installed.

    Our response

    The design covers the whole house at the consultation even when only the kitchen is being fitted now, so a later room is drawn out of the system already specified rather than matched to it after the fact.

  4. New lighting has to meet ceilings, joinery and finishes that already exist.

    Why it happens

    96.1% of North Lakes private dwellings were occupied at the 2021 Census, against 89.9% nationally - these are completed, furnished, lived-in homes, not open frames.

    Why it matters

    Room height in an Australian house is a regulated dimension - the NCC 2022 minimums set out earlier on this page are the reference, and no measurement is assumed for any particular North Lakes house. Profile choice, recess depth and pelmet detail are decided against the geometry a room actually has, and in a finished house they also have to be decided around cabinetry that is already in.

    Our response

    Rooms are measured as built at the consultation and the profile is chosen to suit - recessed 23x9 where a ceiling or joinery line allows it, surface 17x9 where it does not - and on the business's own account most residential feature lighting installs are completed within a single day, which is what a household living through the work needs.

  5. Strip lighting bought for the alfresco, the patio or the garden beds.

    Why it happens

    Buyers see an IP67 rating on the 200W 24V driver and assume the strip carries it too. It does not - the only IP figures published across the range are for the two drivers, IP67 on the 200W non-dimmable and IP20 on the 100W dimmable.

    Why it matters

    An IP rating is a tested classification under IEC 60529, so a product either carries one or it does not; an unrated strip in an exposed position is an assumption rather than a specification.

    Our response

    Outdoor scope is specified with the 9W and 6W DC24V RGB+CCT garden lights and fixture work, which run on the same 5-in-1 controller as the interior system, and strip stays indoors or in protected positions.

  6. It is only 24 volts, so people assume the whole job is DIY - or that none of it is.

    Why it happens

    Both readings are wrong. Under the Electrical Safety Act 2002 (Qld) s18(1), installing, altering or connecting supply wiring to electrical equipment is electrical work, while s18(2)(p) and (q) exclude some connecting and disconnecting of prescribed equipment that remains at extra low voltage.

    Why it matters

    The mains side - wiring a 24V driver into a circuit, altering fixed wiring, anything at the switchboard - requires a licensed electrician, and Queensland also requires a contractor licence where that work is carried out as part of a business.

    Our response

    Installation runs through the trade arm, Luxe Electrical Industries, holder of Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence #90549; a local licensed electrician who buys the system installs it under their own licence instead.

Why trust Luxe Lighting

Take the evidence in the order a single visit runs. Before anyone arrives, there is the licence: Queensland requires an electrical contractor licence wherever electrical work is done as a business, and the trade arm holds #90549, a state register entry checkable without reference to any job or review. The visit itself is what customers describe next - one called the LED design and installation 'professional, efficient, and highly knowledgeable'. On the business's own account most residential feature lighting installs are completed within a single day, so that whole sequence is usually the shape of one day rather than a run of visits. What is left at the end is what people judge: 'The lighting has completely changed the way the kitchen looks', with the site left tidy, and outside, 'completely changed the look of the house at night'. Across more than one job, a repeat builder client, Klaye, describes delivery as 'on-time and on-budget'. None of those jobs is recorded as a North Lakes job, and there is no North Lakes office, depot or crew.

Frequently asked questions

The houses on our street are versions of each other. Can you price a package off the house type, or does someone have to come and measure?

Both, in that order. The stock here is narrow - 84.9% of occupied dwellings are separate houses, 60.0% carry four or more bedrooms and the average is 3.6 - so the shape of the conversation is predictable: which rooms, how many runs, roughly what load. What the house type does not settle is the run length across your kitchen, the recess your joinery will take or where a driver can sit, and those get measured rather than assumed. There is no tier to price off in any case, because none is published - the packages collection still reads 'Our Packages are Coming soon' above four separately priced components. Pricing is built up from those. As displayed at the time of writing, the 24V 100W IP20 dimmable driver was $140.00, the 10x10 Warm White (3000K) Free Cut Signature Side strip $175.00, the 16x16 RGBW+3000K Signature Side $325.00 and the 10x10 Signature Top $350.00. The consultation is free and the price is given before anything starts.

Our neighbours had strip lighting put in and we want the same thing. Does the design just transfer across?

The idea does; the drawing does not. Where 84.9% of dwellings are separate houses and three in five hold four or more bedrooms, two households often want the same scheme - under-bench and shelf runs in the kitchen, a cove in the living area, low-level light on the route through. What will not carry over is anything with a dimension attached to it. Cabinetry, benchtop overhang, ceiling detail and where the furniture sits differ from house to house even where the floor plan barely does, and nothing about the house type settles them. So the scheme gets repeated and the measuring gets done again. The gain from consistent stock is not that the numbers are known in advance - it is that there is less to discover at the consultation.

We live here full-time, kids and furniture and all. What does a retrofit actually look like?

It happens in the house as it stands. 96.1% of private dwellings here were occupied at the 2021 Census against 89.9% nationally, so finished ceilings, fitted joinery and furniture in the way are the normal condition of this work rather than an obstacle to it. Rooms are measured as built and the profile follows what is already there - recessed 23x9 where a ceiling or joinery line will take it, surface 17x9 where it will not. This is not a construction job and the house does not get opened up. On the business's own account most residential feature lighting installs are completed within a single day, which for a household of four or five is the difference between one planned day and a run of visits.

How much of a 24V install can we legally do ourselves?

Some of it, and the exclusion is narrower than the voltage on its own. The Electrical Safety Act 2002 (Qld) makes it electrical work to install, add to, alter or remove electrical equipment, or to connect supply wiring to it - that is s18(1). Section 18(2) then sets out exclusions, and paragraphs (p) and (q) cover connecting and disconnecting prescribed equipment only where both conditions hold: the task 'can be safely performed by a person who does not have expertise in carrying out electrical work', and the equipment involved stays at extra low voltage. Read together they rule out both of the easy answers: it is not all off limits, and it is not all fair game because the number happens to be 24. Everything on the mains side belongs to a licensed electrician - bringing a driver onto a circuit, changing fixed wiring, anything at the switchboard - and a business carrying out that work needs a contractor licence on top of it. Luxe installs through its trade arm on contractor licence #90549.

Can the same strip carry on out to the alfresco or the garden beds?

No, and the reason is documentary rather than practical. Exactly two items in the catalogue publish an IP figure and both are drivers - IP20 on the 100W dimmable and IP67 on the 200W non-dimmable. That figure describes the driver's own enclosure. It says nothing about the strip, the profile it sits in, the controller, the remote or a garden light, none of which publishes a rating at all. Under IEC 60529 an IP code is a tested classification, so a product either holds one or it does not, and putting an unrated strip somewhere exposed is a guess dressed up as a specification. Outdoors gets specified separately, with the 9W and 6W DC24V RGB+CCT garden lights and fixture work, which sit on the same 5-in-1 controller as the indoor runs so the two ends of the design still dim together.

You are not based anywhere near here. Who turns up, and is North Lakes on your published list?

Two answers, and the second needs saying carefully. Installation in North Lakes is offered on the same model as everywhere else - a licensed installer driving from the Buderim premises at 5/13 Kayleigh Dr. There is no office, depot, showroom or crew here, and nothing described on this page happened in North Lakes. As for the published list: the trade site's own summary currently reads 'Servicing Sunshine Coast and Brisbane', which names neither North Lakes nor the City of Moreton Bay, so the undertaking to service North Lakes comes from the business directly rather than from anything it has published.

Do you supply builders and electricians renovating or extending houses here?

Yes, and here that is nearly all of the trade work. 96.1% of private dwellings were occupied at the 2021 Census and the average bedroom count did not shift at all between 2016 and 2021, so the jobs are renovations, extensions and fit-outs inside houses that already exist. Trade accounts get component pricing, bulk quantities and a bookable lighting consultation, and the supply footprint is wider than the installation one - stock ships anywhere in Australia. An electrician who buys the system installs it under their own licence, which is the distinction that keeps trade supply simple. Klaye, a builder who has used the business across multiple projects, sums delivery up as 'on-time and on-budget'.

Get a quote for your North Lakes project

The free lighting design consultation is where a package becomes real: rooms measured as they are today, runs and zones decided, drivers sized, and pricing given upfront before anything starts. For a North Lakes household of four or five living in the house through the work, one planned day on site is worth more than several visits, and that is the business's own account of most residential feature lighting installs. Specify the whole house once, fit the rooms the family actually lives in first - the kitchen and living area - and keep the rest on the same 24V system for later. Builders and electricians renovating, extending or fitting out North Lakes homes book the same consultation for trade pricing and bulk supply. Booking runs through the contact page.
