Car Park LED Lighting Replacement under VEU Scheme
Car park LED lighting products installed under the Victorian government lighting rebates program (VEU) drastically reduces operational and maintenance expenses on lighting.
Undercover Car Park LED Lighting Upgrade
Better lighting in car parks and parking areas always gives users a sense of safety on both — arrival and departure.
Illuminating dark corners, especially in undercover car parks, enables orientation and helps avoid accidents. Car park LED lighting solutions are designed to light up the darkest of corners in car parks, driveways, and basements and reduce energy and maintenance costs.
We replace old undercover car park lights (fluorescent tubes) with energy-efficient LED tubes under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program.
LED tubes are suitable for car park companies, operators, and basement garages because they offer better light output at low energy consumption. Installation is done by A-Grade electricians to ensure better lighting and safety. Whether it’s 5ft or 5ft fluorescent tubes, we replace them all with new-age LED tubes for no cost at all.
We provide innovative car park LED lighting solutions to our clients across Victoria. We also provide high-efficiency retrofit solutions for traditional fluorescent batten and HID lighting.
Key takeaways from the car park LED lighting upgrade:
• Reduced energy cost
• Reduced maintenance cost
• Better illumination and safety
• Better power factor rating
Why Upgrade Your Undercover Car Park to LEDs?
Reduce your energy usage by over 80%
Energy usage in old lights like fluorescent tubes is high because 15%-20% of the emissions are lost due to energy dissipation and heat. Meaning, if you use old lights in your car park, up to 20% of your lighting costs are getting wasted as energy dissipation and heat.
LEDs are much cooler to run and have virtually no warm-up time, which is why they convert over 95% of energy into light.
Reduce your maintenance cost
Fluorescent tubes last 1–2 years on average. After that, they need to be replaced with a new one. If you have a busy parking lot, you cannot afford downtime for a tube replacement.
LEDs last a lot longer than fluorescent tubes. They last as long as 10 years and require no replacement. Meaning, you will have to spend virtually no money on maintenance.
Better lighting
Say goodbye to flickering fluorescent tubes that take minutes to attain stable light and full brightness. Even after reaching full brightness, they leave dark spots, increasing the chances of accidents.
LEDs have better lux and beam angles to uniformly cover the whole area without leaving patches. Meaning better light at lower energy consumption.
Make your business future-proof
If you are still using fluorescent tubes, you are living in the past. Because they are 40% less energy efficient than LED tubes. LEDs were invented in 1962, and they’ve come a long way in terms of efficiency and technology.
They are 70% more energy-efficient than fluorescent tubes. If you’re still using fluoros, your business is decades behind.
How Much Will You Save?
The amount of savings through the car park LED lighting upgrade varies as per the energy consumption and efficiency of the existing lights you are using. For example, if you want to upgrade fluorescent tubes to LED tubes, you can expect to save upwards of 50% on your energy bills.
If you want to know the exact amount, you need to give us the number and type of lights you want to upgrade to LEDs — the savings are significant. For more information on how much you’ll save, give us a call or fill our inquiry form.

Car Park LED Lighting Products
Car park LED lighting products installed under the Victorian government lighting rebates program (VEU) drastically reduces operational and maintenance expenses on lighting.
LED lighting also improves parking experience, customer satisfaction and security of your parking premises.
Lights in parking lot spaces need to work in harsh operating conditions. This is more true in Australia’s case. The operating conditions result in higher maintenance and operational costs. The LED lights are durable and they can withstand extreme climatic conditions.
LED parking lights need low to zero maintenance and their operational cost is lowest as they are the most energy efficient lighting technology. Moreover, LED lights don’t generate UV rays. This feature makes them perfect for lighting parking lot spaces or garages.
Benefits Of Lighting Car Parks with LED lights
- Save up to 80% on operational costs
- Lower carbon footprints and energy use
- Better lighting with reduced parking light fixtures
- Reduce replacement costs with the longer lifetime of LED parking lighting
- Visitors safety
- Reduce maintenance costs
- Improved visibility
- Right light distribution and uniformity
- Better parking experience
- Easy Upgrades
- Future-proof your car park
Tips For Impactful Car Park LED Lighting
1. Choose the optimum lighting level
Choosing the best lighting level is subjective. There are many factors that determine the appropriate lighting level for car park lighting. Vehicle traffic and parking space (indoor/outdoor) are the two major factors that decide the suitable car park lighting level. 10–20 lux level is adequate for outdoor car park lighting while 30–35 lux level works for indoor car park lighting.
2. Integrate dimming controls with lighting fixtures
Car park lighting dimming control not only reduces power bills but also guides drivers to free parking spaces.
3. Accent lighting on key locations
Ensure enough lighting levels at key areas like entrances, exits, signage and parking meters to avoid potential hazards and inconvenience to users.
4. Use white light
White light creates the ideal ambiance in car parking lots. While light also assists security personnel in identifying objects or people.
5. Minimize glare
Reduce glare by choosing right lighting levels and concentrating light on key areas.
Why replace old halogen/fluorescent lights with LED lighting in Indoor/Outdoor Car parking lots.
Replacing old halogen/fluorescent with LED lights is an investment. LED lights of short payback period, and they are pro-earth. Here are some benefits that LED lights offer and others don’t:
Improved parking experience.
Parking Lots with good quality LED lighting helps in improving the parking experience as high luminosity of LED lights boost the ambiance of the place. Parking lots with bad lighting — lights offering low color accuracy CRI and low lux levels– are perceived as unsafe and gloomy.
Improved visibility
High quality LED lights (lights having high CRI and lumen ratings) aid drivers to spot obstacles and pedestrians clearly while other drivers and pedestrians see oncoming cars from a safe distance.
Increased security
Security personnel recognize a face or object if there are good lighting conditions. High quality LED parking lighting products improve lighting conditions in indoor/outdoor parking lots as LED lighting products provide uniform and glare-free high quality light.
Right light distribution pattern
Choosing a light distribution pattern can make the difference between great lighting and average parking lighting conditions. Having a optimally bright and evenly lit parking lot is the end goal that every parking property owner try to achieve
Lighting controls to save energy
Apart from the inherent energy-savings that LED parking lights offer, lighting controls like dimming and motion sensors augment the existing energy saving capabilities of LED parking lights.
