Q Power (Qld) Pty Ltd recently completed a Fairy Lighting Logan project at Chatswood Road, Springwood for Logan City Council. Our team enhanced the streetscape with decorative canopy lighting while upgrading the supporting electrical infrastructure to meet current safety and compliance standards.

Decorative public lighting within road corridors requires careful coordination. In this case, we combined aesthetic lighting outcomes with compliant electrical upgrades, civil works and controlled height-access installation methods. As a result, the project delivered both visual impact and long-term reliability.

Fairy Lighting Logan – Project Scope

Our team delivered a complete supply and installation package to support decorative lighting across three mature fig trees adjacent to the roundabout.

The scope included:

Removal of the existing switchboard, post, cages, lights and plinths
Installation of a new post-mounted main switchboard (unmetered supply)
Installation of new circuit protection and dedicated circuits for LED drivers
Installation of two new electrical pillars
Supply and installation of two new 4m poles with engineered footings
Non-destructive digging and trenching between existing plinths and new pillar locations
Installation of 5W Golden Warm White LED fairy lighting
Installation of IP67 LED drivers
Quick-connect sockets, multi-outlet cables and extension leads
Extra-low voltage cabling with weatherproof terminations
Installation methods that allow for natural tree movement and growth
Height access using ladders and an 18m tracked spider boom
Public exclusion zones with hi-vis bollards and mesh fencing
Testing, commissioning and as-constructed documentation

Our team carefully planned the lighting layout to achieve even canopy coverage while maintaining appropriate spacing between strings. We placed primary emphasis on the long horizontal branches extending toward the footpath to highlight the natural spread of the trees.

To protect the long-term health of the trees, our team selectively installed lighting on suitable structural branches and avoided minor growth, lower limbs and areas near adjacent properties.

The installation method allows for natural movement and continued growth without restricting the trees.

As a result, the project achieves a visually striking outcome while supporting responsible and sustainable tree management.

Safety and Installation Considerations

Because the works occurred within an active public area, safety remained a priority throughout the project.

We kept the footpath open during installation and adjusted exclusion zones as work progressed to prevent public access beneath active areas. In addition, our team used mixed height-access methods, including ladders and a spider boom, to minimise ground disturbance while maintaining safe working conditions.

Furthermore, we used non-destructive digging techniques to protect existing underground services and allowed for assumed soil conditions within the footing design.

Community Impact of This Fairy Lighting Logan Project

This Fairy Lighting Logan project delivers both visual enhancement and infrastructure improvement for the Springwood community.

The warm white decorative lighting strengthens the roundabout’s presence and creates an inviting streetscape feature. At the same time, the upgraded switchboard, circuit protection and driver infrastructure provide durability and simplified future maintenance.

Importantly, the installation meets electrical safety standards and council requirements. Therefore, Logan City Council benefits from a compliant, reliable and professionally delivered decorative lighting solution.

Overall, this project highlights Q Power’s capability in delivering decorative lighting, electrical infrastructure upgrades and council works across Logan and South East Queensland.
