When you’re renovating or building in the Hawkesbury, lighting isn’t just about being able to see, it’s about setting the mood, highlighting your home’s best features, and ensuring energy efficiency.

From the historic charm of Windsor to the modern builds in Marsden Park, finding the right fixtures is key. 

Here is your guide on where to find the best lighting in the Hawkesbury and why your electrician might be your best shopping partner.

1. Local retailers & showrooms

While the big-box hardware stores are great for basics, sometimes you need a dedicated lighting showroom to really see the “glow” of a fixture before you buy.

• Beacon Lighting (McGraths Hill): Located in the Home Central center on Windsor Road, this is a go-to for many Hawkesbury residents. They have a massive range and often feature the latest trends in pendants and smart lighting.
• Richmond Lighting: A fantastic local option for those looking for something a bit more curated or designer. They offer a wide selection of indoor and outdoor decorative lights.
• Hawkesbury Outdoor Specialists (Richmond): If you are looking to light up a deck, pool area, or garden path, these locals specialize in durable outdoor solutions suited to our regional climate.

2. Technical & wholesale options

For the DIY-inclined or those looking for specific components:

• Lawrence & Hanson (Windsor): As an electrical wholesaler, they carry the high-quality gear that professionals use. It’s a great place to see industrial-grade LED solutions.
• Jaycar Electronics (Richmond): Perfect for specialized LED strips, sensors, and technical lighting accessories.

The professional advantage: “Ask your electrician.”

Before you hit the checkout button on that beautiful chandelier or a set of outdoor floodlights, there is one person you should talk to first: your electrician.

While retail showrooms are inspiring, there are three major reasons to have your sparky help with the sourcing:

• Access to Trade Pricing: Electricians have accounts with major wholesalers (like L&H or Middy’s) that the general public doesn’t. Often, we can source the same high-end fixtures you see in showrooms at a significantly lower trade price, passing those savings on to you.
• Compatibility Checks: Will that LED pendant work with your existing dimmer switches? Is that outdoor light rated for the Hawkesbury’s summer storms (IP rating)? We ensure that what you buy is technically compatible with your home’s wiring.
• Quality Assurance: We know which brands last ten years and which ones fail after six months. We help you choose “trade-quality” gear that won’t require a replacement visit next year.
