Should You Repair or Upgrade Your Car Park Lighting?
Repair it if only a few fittings have failed. Upgrade to LED if failures keep coming back or the fittings are old.
A straight swap can leave dark patches, so we check the layout first.
You get a fixed price before any work starts, ready for the committee to vote on.

Strata Car Parks

Lighting at Workplaces
A business or undertaking must make sure, so far as reasonably practicable, that workplace lighting lets people move around safely and evacuate in an emergency.
Source: Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011, s 40
Exit Lights Must Be Maintained
Bodies corporate are generally occupiers under the Fire Services Act 1990 and must maintain fire safety equipment such as exit lights.

What Sets the Price of Car Park Lighting Work
We price after a walk-through. These are the things that move the number.
- Number of fittings. More fittings, more materials and labour.
- Ceiling height. High decks need access equipment.
- Layout changes. Moving fittings takes longer than a straight swap.
- Controls. Sensors and timers add parts and wiring.
- Wiring condition. Water-damaged or old wiring may need fixing first.
- Staging. Working zone by zone around traffic takes longer.
Body corporate EV charging
Planning EV Chargers in the Car Park?
If the car park is getting new lighting, it's a good time to check the supply for EV charging. We do the load assessment and can quote both jobs together.
Car Park Lighting FAQ
Questions Gold Coast strata and commercial property managers ask us about car park lighting.
Should I upgrade my car park lighting to LED?
Usually, if the fittings are old or failing often. LED fittings generally use less power and need replacing less often than older fluorescent or high-intensity discharge fittings. The upgrade still needs planning, because LED fittings spread light differently and a straight swap can leave dark patches. We check the layout and tell you where a direct swap works and where spacing should change.
How much can LED car park lighting save?
It depends on how many fittings you have, what they are now and how many hours they run. Car park lights that run around the clock usually show the biggest difference, because running cost grows with hours of use. We don't quote a saving until we've seen the site. After a walk-through, we can talk the committee through what is likely to change.
Who pays for car park lighting in a strata building?
Usually the body corporate. In many strata schemes the car park is common property, and Queensland Government guidance says a body corporate must maintain common property in good and structurally sound condition. Exclusive use bays, a car park on a separate lot, or lights wired to one unit's meter can change that. Check your plan and by-laws, or ask your strata manager.
Why do my car park lights keep failing?
Repeated failures usually point to a cause beyond the lamp, such as ageing fittings, failed drivers, water getting into fittings, or wiring faults. Swapping lamps won't fix those. We test the circuit and fittings to find the cause, then quote a fixed price to repair or replace. If a fitting is sparking or hanging loose, keep people clear and call us.
Can you add motion sensors or timers to car park lights?
Yes. We can fit motion sensors, daylight sensors or timers to new LED fittings or to existing lighting, so lights aren't running at full output when nobody is there. Sensor zones need care in a car park so drivers and pedestrians aren't left in the dark. Emergency and exit lighting is a separate system with its own testing.
Is poor car park lighting a safety or liability issue?
It can be. Queensland's Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 requires a business or undertaking to make sure, so far as reasonably practicable, that workplace lighting lets people move around safely and evacuate in an emergency. In strata buildings, the body corporate must keep common property in good condition. Dark patches can also make trips and vehicle incidents more likely.
Can you upgrade car park lighting without closing the car park?
Usually, yes. We stage the work level by level or zone by zone, and schedule it around traffic, trading hours and residents' access. We agree the timing with the building manager before we start, so notices can go out to residents or tenants. Work areas are marked off while we're on site.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance for car park lighting?
Yes. We run fixed-price preventative maintenance programmes that can include car park lighting checks, emergency and exit lighting tests and switchboard thermal scans. Regular checks can catch failing fittings before a whole row goes dark. The scope and price are agreed up front, so the body corporate or property manager can budget for it.
