– What we do

Lighting design and documentation for the VEU pathway

Activity 35 covers upgrading inefficient outdoor lighting to high-efficiency LED, generating energy savings and VEEC rebates. We prepare submission-ready documentation (compliant layouts, lux level diagrams and fitting schedules) meeting VEU requirements and the relevant AS/NZS standard for each site.

Frequently asked questions

Lighting designs for VEU Activity 35 upgrades should be prepared by qualified lighting professionals experienced in photometric calculations and Australian Standards. Independent lighting consultants ensure that proposed upgrades meet both energy efficiency requirements and lighting performance standards before rebate claims are submitted.

To begin a VEU lighting design we typically require site plans, existing lighting layouts, fixture specifications, mounting heights, and details of the areas being upgraded. Using this information we prepare lighting calculations and compliance documentation to support the upgrade and rebate application.

Most VEU lighting designs can be completed within one to three business days once the required project information is received. Larger sites or complex upgrades may require additional modelling and verification before final documentation is issued.

Yes. Our lighting designs and documentation are prepared in accordance with relevant Australian Standards and the requirements of the Victorian Energy Upgrades program. The reports are suitable for use by accredited providers and installers when submitting rebate claims.

We work with both project owners and lighting installers. Our role is to provide independent lighting calculations and compliance documentation that supports the upgrade process and ensures the proposed installation meets performance and energy efficiency requirements.
