It depends on the system. Our plug-in low-voltage hexagon range runs on a standard 3-pin plug, so it is plug and play and you can install it yourself. Hardwired ceiling systems connect to mains power, and in Australia those should be connected by a licensed electrician.
The short answer
There are two ways a hexagon system gets its power, and that decides whether a trade is involved.
| System type | How it powers | Who installs |
|---|---|---|
| Plug-in low-voltage | Standard 3-pin wall plug | You, plug and play |
| Hardwired ceiling | Wired to mains | Licensed electrician |
Plug-in systems: plug and play
The plug-in range is designed to be simple. The panels connect edge to edge, the system powers from a standard wall socket, and you are up and running in an afternoon.
-
Plan your layout
Decide on a cluster or a larger shape. The panels expand, so you can start small and grow.
-
Position the panels
Set the panels out on the ceiling or wall to check the shape before you fix anything.
-
Mount and fix
Secure each panel flat to the surface with the supplied fixings.
-
Clip them together
Connect the panels edge to edge so light and power flow through the system.
-
Plug in and control
Connect to a standard 3-pin plug, then set brightness or colour from the app or remote.
Hardwired systems: use a licensed electrician
Larger permanent installs are wired into your mains supply for a clean, socket-free finish. Like any mains fitting in Australia, these should be connected by a licensed electrician.
Key point
A mains-connected light fitting in Australia must be installed by a licensed electrician and be compliant as a complete system. HEXA systems are certified as whole systems, so your electrician can install with confidence.
