Who we help

Three kinds of property, three different problems

Hospitality and strata work is the core of our trade business. We know the difference between a five-star lobby refit, a strata committee’s common-property budget and a resort fighting salt air.

Hotels

Brand standards, guest experience, zero downtime

A hotel lives and dies on how a room feels at 9pm and whether the corridor light is working at 6am. We help engineering and housekeeping teams hold a consistent colour temperature across hundreds of rooms, keep spare globes, tubes and batteries on the shelf, and plan lobby and F&B upgrades around occupancy rather than the other way round.

  • Colour-matched globes for every fitting on the property
  • Stock held for same-day pickup or next-run delivery
  • Refurbishment specification and supply, floor by floor

Apartments & Body Corporates

Common property that runs on a budget and a schedule

Committees and building managers need lighting that cuts the power bill, satisfies the fire and safety audit and does not need touching again for years. We specify sensor-controlled corridor and car-park fittings, tri-colour panels and oysters that suit any existing ceiling, and emergency lighting that keeps the logbook clean.

  • Sensor retrofits for corridors, stairwells and car parks
  • Quotes written for committee approval, with options
  • Works with your strata electrician or ours

Resorts

Built for salt air, pool decks and Queensland sun

Coastal properties chew through fittings that were never meant for the environment. We select IP-rated, marine-grade and UV-stable products for pools, gardens, balconies and walkways, plus ceiling fans and outdoor living lighting that survive the summer season, so the grounds look as good in year five as on opening day.

  • IP65 and 316 stainless or brass exterior fittings
  • Bollards, step lights and pathway lighting for grounds
  • Outdoor-rated fans and balcony lighting for suites

Who we supply

Built for properties that never close

A hotel, resort or residential tower runs 24 hours a day, and its lighting has to keep up. We supply the operators, building managers and body corporates who look after them across South East Queensland and northern New South Wales. References for properties like yours are available on request from our consultants.

Hotel lobby with warm feature pendants and layered downlighting

Arrival & Lobby

First impressions are made in the first ten metres

Reception sets the tone for the whole stay. Guests read a lobby in seconds: a tired, flat ceiling of cool-white downlights says budget, while layered warm light, a feature pendant and a lit reception desk says the property is cared for.

What goes wrong is usually mismatched colour temperatures after years of piecemeal replacement, glare over the desk, and decorative fittings that no longer have a globe available. We audit what is there, match or upgrade the globes, and specify dimmable tri-colour downlights and track so the space can shift from daytime check-in to evening bar mode.

We stock surface-mounted and recessed architectural downlights, adjustable track heads, and a deep range of wall lights and statement pendants from Telbix, CLA and Havit, all available for a same-day look at our Ashmore office and warehouse.

What we supply here

  • Dimmable tri-colour recessed and surface downlights
  • Statement pendants and chandeliers for double-height voids
  • Wall lights and alabaster feature pieces
  • Adjustable track heads for art, signage and the desk
  • Cove and joinery LED strip with drivers
Hotel guest room with bedside lamps and warm reading light

Guest Rooms & Suites

Hundreds of rooms, one consistent warm white

Guest rooms are the highest-volume lighting area on any property. Bedside lamps, reading lights, wardrobe and desk lighting and the downlights in between all need globes on hand, and every replacement must match the one beside it. A 3000K lamp next to a 5000K lamp is the fastest way to make a refurbished room look cheap.

Our advice for rooms is simple: standardise. Pick one warm white, usually 2700K or 3000K, choose LED GLS, candle and GU10 globes with a stable supply history, and keep a labelled maintenance box per floor. For refurbishments we supply table and floor lamps by the pallet, bedhead wall lights with integrated LED reading arms, and USB-equipped lamps guests actually use.

We hold CLA tri-colour GLS and GU10 globes in the thousands, plus hospitality-grade lamps from Telbix and CLA that look right, survive housekeeping and are still available when you need another twenty.

What we supply here

  • LED GLS, candle and GU10/MR16 globes in 2700K–3000K
  • Bedhead wall lights with LED reading arms
  • Table lamps with touch dimming or USB charging
  • Floor lamps for suites and lounge corners
  • Low-profile DC ceiling fans with integrated light
Hotel ensuite with illuminated mirror and vanity lighting

Bathrooms & Ensuites

Flattering light at the mirror, IP-rated everywhere else

Ensuites are where guests judge a room up close. A single downlight above the basin throws shadows on the face; a vanity light at eye level does not. Steam and cleaning chemicals also punish fittings that were never rated for a wet area.

We recommend IP44-rated tri-colour downlights over showers and baths, a dedicated vanity or mirror light set to 3000K–4000K, and a sensor downlight or night light for the 2am trip so guests are not hit with full brightness. For apartment refits we can supply exhaust fans and heater-light units at the same time so the electrician makes one visit.

The IP44 sensor downlight below has been fitted across hotel ensuites in Brisbane, and the VANITY range is a long-standing hospitality favourite because it is easy to clean and still available years later.

What we supply here

  • IP44 dimmable tri-colour downlights (90mm cut-out standard)
  • Vanity and mirror wall lights, chrome, black or brass
  • Motion-sensor downlights for night-time use
  • IP54 oysters for bathrooms without a ceiling cavity
  • Exhaust fans and heater-light units for apartment refits
Hotel corridor lit by evenly spaced ceiling oyster lights

Corridors, Lifts & Stairwells

The floors that burn power all night

Corridors, lift lobbies and fire stairs run 24 hours a day, often on fittings installed when the building was built. They are the single biggest lighting cost on most apartment buildings and the area where a whole-floor replacement pays for itself fastest.

The proven approach is a tri-colour LED oyster or conversion kit fitted into the existing base, with a surface or recessed motion sensor so the corridor drops to a low level or off when nobody is there. Tri-colour means you can settle on 3000K for guest floors and 4000K for stairs and service corridors without carrying two SKUs.

The oysters, conversion kits and sensors below are exactly what Gold Coast and Brisbane body corporates have bought from us for whole-floor replacements, in quantities of fifty to several hundred at a time. We can stage deliveries floor by floor and hold spares for the building manager.

Hotel restaurant and bar with warm filament pendants at night

Restaurant, Bar & Function

Dim it, warm it, and make the food look good

Food and beverage spaces are where lighting most directly affects revenue. Guests linger and order another round under warm, dimmed light; they leave a bright room. Function rooms need the opposite flexibility: a conference at 4000K in the morning and a wedding at 2700K that night.

We specify fully dimmable schemes: tri-colour ultra-slim downlights on a compatible dimmer, filament LED globes in pendants over tables and the bar, and adjustable track heads to pick out the feature wall or the dessert cabinet. The most common failure we fix is flicker and dropout from mismatched globes and dimmers, so we test combinations before you buy fifty.

Filament globes for restaurants are one of the highest-repeat items we sell to hotels. We carry the CLA dimmable range in every common shape and base, so replacements match what is already hanging.

What we supply here

  • Dimmable tri-colour ultra-slim downlights
  • Dimmable LED filament GLS, candle and ST64 globes
  • Adjustable track heads and single or three-circuit track
  • Cluster and linear pendants for tables and bars
  • Compatible LED dimmers and drivers
Resort pool deck at dusk with bollards and pathway lighting

Pool, Gardens & Outdoor

Fittings that survive salt air, sprinklers and summer

Outdoor lighting is the face of a resort after dark and the first thing to corrode on the coast. Powder-coat that blisters, plastic that yellows and step lights that fill with water are all avoidable with the right specification.

For coastal properties we favour IP65 fittings in 316 stainless steel, solid brass or marine-grade aluminium, with tri-colour LED so the whole exterior sits on one warm white. Bollards and step lights guide guests along paths; up/down wall lights and pillar spots handle façades and entries; spike lights lift gardens and palms.

Louvred bollards, brass and aluminium wall lights and spike lights below have all gone into Gold Coast and Brisbane properties through our trade desk, and every one is a current line we can replace like-for-like.

What we supply here

  • IP65 LED bollards and post-top lights for paths and car parks
  • Recessed step and deck lights
  • Up/down and pillar wall lights in brass, 316 stainless and aluminium
  • Garden spike lights and inground uplights
  • Outdoor-rated ceiling fans and balcony lighting for suites

Apartments & Body Corporate Common Property

Common-property upgrades a committee can approve

Body corporates run on levies, quotes and minutes. A lighting upgrade needs to show the saving, tick the compliance box and be installed with minimal disruption to residents. We have supplied strata schemes across the Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Tweed for decades and understand how the approval process works.

The typical scope is common-area LED panels and oysters to replace fluorescent troffers and CFL fittings, motion sensors on corridors and stairwells, weatherproof battens and security lights on car parks and bin rooms, and a tidy-up of emergency lighting. Tri-colour products mean one SKU suits foyers, corridors and plant rooms.

We write quotes with clear options so managers can present them to the committee, coordinate with the building's electrician or arrange a licensed installer, and stage deliveries so nothing sits in the foyer for a week.

Underground hotel car park lit with LED battens and hi-bays

Car Park & Back of House

Bright, cheap to run and nobody has to climb a ladder

Car parks, loading docks, laundries, kitchens and plant rooms are where lighting budgets quietly disappear. They run long hours, the ceilings are high and every failed fluorescent tube is a work order.

We replace fluorescent battens and hi-bays with IP65 LED equivalents that carry selectable wattage and colour temperature, so one fitting suits a low car park bay and a high loading dock. Microwave sensors keep unoccupied aisles at a low level, and 4000K–5000K gives staff the clean, bright light they need to work safely.

The hi-bay below has gone into a Brisbane hotel car park, and the CLA tri-colour hi-bay and weatherproof battens are stock lines we sell to builders and strata electricians every week.

What we supply here

  • Selectable-wattage IP65 LED hi-bays for car parks and docks
  • IP65 weatherproof LED battens for wet and dusty areas
  • LED T8 tubes and tri-colour battens for plant rooms
  • Microwave sensors for aisles and stairwells
  • LED floodlights for loading and service yards

Emergency, Exit & Smoke Alarms

Keep the logbook clean and the auditor happy

Emergency and exit lighting is inspected on a routine cycle under AS 2293, and smoke alarms in accommodation buildings fall under AS 3786 and Queensland fire safety rules. Failures are typically found at the six-monthly discharge test, when a batch of batteries installed at the same time all reach end of life together.

We supply LED emergency battens, twin-spot emergency lights and exit signs as like-for-like replacements or as part of a wider upgrade, plus 240V and wireless-interconnected smoke alarms and their accessories. Because the products are LED with maintenance-free batteries, the next replacement cycle is years away rather than months.

Your fire contractor or electrician does the testing and certification; we make sure the right fittings and batteries are on site when they arrive. Tell us the count and the fitting types, and we will quote the lot, including exit signs and smoke alarms to order.

What we supply here

  • LED emergency battens, standard and weatherproof
  • Twin-spot and recessed emergency luminaires
  • LED exit signs, running man and pictogram, quoted to order
  • 240V photoelectric smoke alarms and RF interconnect modules
  • Procell 9V and lithium batteries for alarms and safes

Testing intervals and standards are stated for general guidance only. Your fire safety contractor or licensed electrician is responsible for compliance testing and certification.

Globes, tubes, batteries, drivers and sensors from Sintech stock

Maintenance Supplies & Batteries

The stuff you order every month, without the chasing

Most of what a hotel buys from us is not a project. It is a standing order of LED globes, tubes, drivers and a great many batteries: AA and AAA for TV remotes and door locks, 9V for smoke alarms, C and D for torches and safes, coin cells for key cards and thermostats. We keep all of them in trade packs on the shelf in Ashmore.

We set hospitality customers up on a trade account with agreed pricing, keep a record of what each property uses so reordering is a phone call or an email, and hold stock in Ashmore for same-day pickup. Regular runs can go on a standing order and be delivered to the loading dock with your other stock.

Procell and Duracell industrial packs, CLA globes and drivers and the filament globes your restaurant uses are all on the shelf. If a fitting has been discontinued, we will find the closest current match and confirm it before you buy in bulk.

What we supply here

  • Procell and Duracell AA, AAA, 9V, C, D and lithium coin cells in trade packs
  • LED GLS, candle, GU10 and MR16 globes in every common colour temperature
  • LED T8 tubes and T9 circular replacements
  • 12V and 24V LED drivers and transformers
  • Fan remotes, lampholders, plugs and accessories

How a project runs

From first call to finished floors

The same four steps whether it is a box of globes or a whole tower.

  1. Talk to us

    Call, email or send a photo of the fitting. Tell us the property, the areas involved and when it needs to happen.

  2. Site visit

    A Sintech representative walks the property with you across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, the Gold Coast and the Tweed, and notes every fitting, lamp and sensor.

  3. Specify & quote

    We match products to the building, your brand standard and your maintenance reality, then quote clearly with options for the committee or the GM.

  4. Supply or install

    Staged deliveries from Ashmore, same-day pickup, or supply and install through licensed electricians so the job finishes on site.

Why Sintech

Sintech versus an online marketplace

Cheap globes are easy to find. A supplier who knows your building, holds your stock and answers when a fitting fails at 6am is not.

Questions we get asked

Trade accounts, delivery, matching and warranty

Do you offer trade or hospitality accounts?

Yes. Hotels, resorts, management rights operators and body corporates can apply for a trade account with agreed pricing and 30-day terms on approval. Most of the properties we supply order by email or phone against their account.

Is there a minimum order?

No minimum. We supply single replacement globes to the same properties we fit out floor by floor. Bulk pricing applies as quantities go up, and we will tell you where the price breaks fall.

Can you deliver to site or the loading dock?

Yes. Regular deliveries across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Tweed, staged deliveries for projects, and freight Australia-wide for interstate properties. Same-day pickup is available from our Ashmore warehouse.

Can you match fittings and globes we already have?

Usually. Send a photo, a model number or the old globe and we will identify it, confirm a current equivalent and check it against your dimmers before you buy in quantity. If it has been discontinued we will recommend the closest match.

What colour temperature should we use?

For guest rooms, suites, lobbies and restaurants we recommend 2700K to 3000K warm white. For back of house, car parks, kitchens and plant rooms, 4000K to 5000K gives clean working light. Tri-colour products let you set this per fitting on site.

Can sensors be added to existing corridor lights?

In most cases, yes. Surface and recessed motion sensors can be wired to existing oysters and downlights, or you can move to a sensor oyster in one step. We will advise on placement so lights do not cycle unnecessarily.

What warranty applies?

Manufacturer warranties from CLA, Havit, Telbix, Rapid LED and our other suppliers apply, typically two to five years on LED fittings. We lodge and manage claims on your behalf so the fitting is replaced quickly.

Do you install?

We can supply only for your electrician or arrange supply and install through licensed electrical contractors we work with regularly. Either way, we remain the point of contact for the product.

Ready when you are

Tell us about the property. We will come and look.
