We have extensive data from over 200 LED Lighting upgrades within Sydney and NSW for commercial and residential Strata Plan buildings. By assessing electricity bills for the Executive Committee post lighting upgrade, can prove that installing LED lights in Strata Carparks, Common Areas and Fire Stairs has significant financial and energy savings. Installing LEDs has been shown to dramatically decrease electricity bills for a Strata complex by reducing kWh usage and therefore the total cost of the energy bill.
This huge energy savings are partly due to the high-tech individual microwave motion sensors, incorporated into every LED light fitting.
LED luminaires are activated individually as motion is detected and the LEDs light up in the area that is needed only, rather than on a grid, which unnecessarily activates many lights in the entire grid. This results in over consuming energy and decreasing your $ savings.
By replacing old fluorescent tubes that consume large amounts of energy to efficient LED lights with high lumen output, you can achieve a bright space with lower electricity bills, by using far less power.
LED lighting is a great place to start if you would like your Strata Executive Committee to invest in energy efficiency upgrades as it is what we call “low hanging fruit”. This is because of the lower investment for LED lights in comparison to other energy saving activities such as installing commercial Solar PV panels, which can have a large investment and a long, drawn out return on investment (ROI).
LED lighting upgrades in carparks and fire stairs, generally have a much faster return on investment, with great electricity savings, making LEDs a more feasible place to start when choosing between different energy savings upgrades for your residential strata complex in Sydney.
Strata common areas such as carparks, fire stairs and common areas will often house old technology, high wattage luminaires which have high running costs due to the large amount of energy they consume. You can replace these old lights for brighter LED lights that will last longer than your old existing lamps and consume far less energy. The return on your investment (ROI) is usually well under 2 years!
We have data that shows we can reduce your energy consumption by up to 87%!

Google Review – Strata Chairman EC
In typical Strata carparks or firestairs, existing fittings usually hold twin 36W T8 fluorescent tubes with 2 x 8W magnetic B2 ballasts. This equates to 88 watts of energy consumption per fitting. You can replace these fittings with an LED luminaire fitting that only consumes just over 17W-19W per fitting. For higher ceilings we recommend a 34W LED to achieve the desired lighting (lux) levels and good energy savings.
These LED fittings also feature individual microwave motion sensors which reduce the energy drawn by the light, increasing your energy savings dramatically and the efficiency of the LED light.
All LED lighting upgrades meet the AS1680 standards which is a requirement of the NSW Energy Savings Scheme (ESS). This also confirms the required light output (lux) levels.
Under the NSW ESS we also offer a discount (upfront) that is applied to your quote at point of sale, so you only pay the net amount for the strata LED lighting upgrade.
Your Strata Executive Committee will not need to wait for your discount or fork out the gross cost. We give you your ESC discount upfront, and apply it to your quote. We take on any risk of the fluctuating ESC value ourselves and guarantee the ESC discount on your lighting quote.
We also take care of the extensive and detailed paperwork that is required to claim the ESC discount. To receive your discount, we also take care of all statutory requirements under the NSW Energy Savings Scheme (ESS), for LED lighting upgrades in a commercial setting or strata plan.
The discount is usually quite a substantial portion of the gross cost when your existing lighting is old and therefore operates at a high wattage. This results in your return on investment (ROI) usually falling well under 2 years.

A testimonial/case study from the Chairman of an EC, following an LED Lighting Installation in a Strata building in Sydney:
“As secretary of the Oakmont Strata Complex in Kellyville, I can confirm the lighting that Easily Green Energy Solutions recently installed have significantly reduced our energy consumption.
We took time of use readings for five days prior to installation and five days after installation to monitor this. We can clearly see exactly when the lights were installed as the average drop in consumption overall is 65%. This equates to savings of about $9,000 a year at the current rates so this will pay for itself in less than a year.
Thank you for a professional hassle free installation with real measurable savings.”
