Lighting Design Service: AS/NZS 1680 Compliant

Lighting Design Service for Commercial Projects: Made Simple

enLighten's in-house lighting designers deliver compliant, buildable lighting designs for offices, warehouses, car parks, sports facilities and public spaces. Every layout starts with how the space is used, then meets the Australian standards that apply, so approvals and installation run smoothly. Working on a project now?

How does enLighten design lighting to suit each space?

Our designers start by understanding how the space is used—such as meetings, office work, technical tasks, sport, or public circulation—and the atmosphere you want to create. From this, we determine the brightness, colour temperature, and colour accuracy required.

What lighting layers make a well-designed space?

We combine four lighting layers:

• Ambient lighting for general illumination

• Task lighting for work areas with strong glare control

• Accent lighting to highlight features and create contrast

• Decorative lighting for visual impact

How do you ensure lighting is energy-efficient?

We design for low power per square metre, select high‑efficacy luminaires, and use smart controls such as daylight sensors, occupancy detection, motion sensors, and dimming.

How does the design coordinate with other trades?

We work from architectural drawings and coordinate with HVAC, fire, AV, and structural services to prevent clashes and ensure smooth installation.

How is the lighting modelled before installation?

We use tools like AGi32 for light simulations and compliance checks, AutoCAD for detailed plans, and Revit for building‑wide coordination. This reduces rework and provides visual confidence in the final design.

Which Australian standards does our lighting design meet?

Our designs meet Australian standards including AS/NZS 1680, AS/NZS 1158, AS/NZS 2560, AS/NZS 2293, AS 4282, and NCC Section J (J7). We also support sustainability frameworks such as Green Star, NABERS, and WELL.

How do you plan for installation and long-term maintenance?

We ensure luminaires match the ceiling or structure, confirm appropriate mounting methods, and position fittings for easy installation and servicing. Site visits can be conducted where useful.

What's included in an enLighten lighting design?

You receive lighting plans, reflected ceiling plans, 3D visuals, compliance summaries, energy and control strategies, luminaire schedules, and coordination notes for other trades.

Why choose enLighten for lighting design?

enLighten has designed, manufactured and supplied commercial lighting for 17 years, with more than 5,000 commercial installations across Australia. Because design and product sit under one roof, the lighting we design is the lighting we can supply, customise and support. Our documentation is built to make approvals and construction straightforward.
