As a leading electrical contractor in Melbourne, Alert Electrical Group completed an exciting project for the Brimbank Council office in Sunshine. The goal was to enhance an outdoor area to create an inviting space for social gatherings, community events, and a relaxing spot for shoppers. By installing state-of-the-art ambient lighting, we transformed this streetscape into a vibrant nighttime destination.
Project overview
The Brimbank Council approached us with a vision to spruce up a section of Sunshine’s streetscape. Our team at Alert Electrical Group, renowned electrical contractors in Melbourne, took on the challenge to install LED strips that would complement the existing award-winning design. The project’s primary aim was to create a welcoming environment for social interactions and community events.
We recommended and installed colour-changing flexible neon LED strips. These LED strips were strategically embedded in aluminium extrusion and fastened to the base of a feature hardwood fence that curves along the garden edge like a snake. This installation presented unique challenges due to the curvature of the steel framework, but our team’s expertise ensured a seamless integration.
Installation details
LED strips placement: The LED strips were hidden between the seating and bench spaces, enhancing the aesthetics without being intrusive.
Flexible neon LED strip: This innovative lighting solution allows for colour changes, providing versatility to suit various events.
Aluminium extrusion: The LED strips were embedded in aluminium extrusion, ensuring durability and stability.
Remote receiver and timer: The lighting system was equipped with a timer and remote receiver, allowing for easy adjustments to the lighting settings to match different events.
Challenges and solutions
The curvature of the steel framework was a significant challenge for the LED strip and base extrusion installation. Our skilled team at Alert Electrical Group overcame this by meticulously planning and executing the installation process, ensuring the LED strips fit perfectly along the curved surfaces. This attention to detail not only solved the structural challenges but also enhanced the overall visual appeal of the streetscape.
The result is a stunning streetscape that has been modernized with ambient lighting, making it an attractive nighttime destination. This project not only met but exceeded the expectations of the Brimbank Council, creating a space that the community can enjoy for years to come.
