About LED Central


LED Central is an independent resource for Australian electricians, facility managers, and property professionals navigating the commercial LED lighting market. We cut through manufacturer hype to deliver practical guidance on upgrades, rebates, and compliance.

We cover what matters for real projects: ROI calculations, state rebate programs, product comparisons, and the Australian standards that govern commercial installations.

The site is edited by James Thornton, a licensed electrician with 18 years of experience in commercial lighting. After spending a decade as state manager for a major lighting distributor, he started LED Central to share the practical knowledge that helps tradies and facility managers make better lighting decisions.
