Lighting design and advice in Kensington

In short. Backed by the best industry knowledge, the Cosmo Lighting Kensington team offers lighting design services for renovations, new builds and single rooms: which downlights and how many, where the pendants go, how to dim it all, and the strip, wall and outdoor lighting that ties it together. Visit the showroom at 91-93 Anzac Parade with your plans or photos, or call (02) 9662 1517.

Good lighting design is layers: general light from downlights or ceiling lights, task light over benches and desks, and accent light from pendants, wall lights and strip, all on the right dimmers. The Cosmo team has planned that for Eastern Suburbs homes since 1990, and the showroom means you can see every piece of the plan lit before it is ordered.

Bring floor plans, ceiling heights, photos and the fittings you have fallen for. You leave with a plan and a list your electrician can work from, and the stock is here when they are ready. The current website also lists an installation service; ask in store or call for the details.

  • Whole-home plans: Downlight layouts, pendant positions, switching and dimming for a renovation or new build.
  • Room by room: A kitchen bench, a stairwell void, a bedroom or a deck, solved with the right fitting and the right light.
  • Dimming and smart control: Dimmers matched to LED, and smart systems such as Philips Hue where you want them.
  • Trade support: Lists and quantities your electrician or builder can order from, with stock on the shelf.

Lighting design & advice questions

Does Cosmo offer a lighting design service?

Yes. Cosmo's team offers lighting design services alongside the showroom. Bring plans, measurements and photos to 91-93 Anzac Parade, or call (02) 9662 1517 to arrange a time.

How many downlights does a room need?

It depends on the room's size, ceiling height and the fitting's output and beam angle, not a rule of thumb. A 4 m by 4 m living room often works with four to six low-glare downlights plus a pendant or lamps for mood; the team will lay it out for your plan.

Does Cosmo install lighting?

The Cosmo website lists an installation service alongside its design and repair services. Ask in the showroom or call (02) 9662 1517 for what is available and how it works.
