LED Lighting for Rental Properties in NZ – Save Costs, Boost Appeal

 

If you’re a landlord or property manager in New Zealand, upgrading to LED lighting is one of the smartest ways to save money, lower maintenance, and increase the value of your rental. At GreenLED, we supply SAA-certified, affordable LED solutions perfect for residential properties across NZ.

💡 Why Switch to LED in Rentals?

  • Lower Power Bills: LED bulbs use up to 85% less electricity than incandescent bulbs – a great selling point for tenants.
  • Less Maintenance: LEDs last 10–25x longer, so you won’t need to replace bulbs between tenancies.
  • Better Lighting: LEDs give clean, modern lighting that makes rooms feel brighter and more inviting.
  • Eco-Friendly: Improve your rental’s sustainability profile with energy-efficient lighting.

❓ FAQ – LED Lighting for Rentals

Is it worth upgrading the lighting in a rental?

Absolutely. LED lighting lowers tenant power bills, reduces your maintenance costs, and improves how the home looks to potential renters.

Should I install dimmable lights?

In some areas like lounges or bedrooms, dimmable LED downlights can add flexibility and appeal to tenants. They're not essential but can be a bonus.

What colour temperature is best?

3000K warm white is best for NZ rentals – it suits most homes, creating a cozy but clear light ideal for all rooms.
