Lighting & Ceiling Fans for Wodonga Homes

Is there a lighting shop in Wodonga?

If you are searching for a lighting shop in Wodonga, the practical answer for most people is to cross the river. Albury and Wodonga operate as one community, and our Albury showroom is roughly 10 to 15 minutes' drive from central Wodonga depending on traffic.

We are an independent, locally owned store that has served Albury-Wodonga for more than 25 years. We deal with over 150 suppliers, so the range goes well beyond what a hardware aisle can offer, and the team can help you choose rather than leaving you to work it out from a box.

What do Wodonga homes need from their lighting?

Wodonga shares the Border climate: hot, dry summers and cold, frosty winters. That shapes what is worth spending money on.

• Ceiling fans for summer: a good DC fan in each bedroom and a larger fan, or two, in the living area can take the edge off hot nights and cut how often the air conditioner runs.
• Alfresco fans and heaters: covered outdoor areas get more use with a weather-rated outdoor fan for summer and an outdoor heat unit for cool evenings.
• Bathroom heaters for winter: a 3-in-1 heat, light and exhaust unit keeps the bathroom warm on frosty mornings and clears steam to help prevent mould.
• Exterior and sensor lighting: for driveways, side paths and entries, especially on larger blocks.

Building in Baranduda, Leneva or West Wodonga?

A lot of new homes are going up on the Wodonga side, in areas such as Baranduda, Leneva and West Wodonga. If you are building, the best time to plan lighting is before your electrician's rough-in. Bring your plans to the Albury showroom and our consultants will work through each room with you, then give you a list of fittings that your builder and electrician can work from.

One thing to check on the Victorian side: your electrician needs to be licensed to work in Victoria. We work with most local electricians and builders around Albury-Wodonga, and the fittings we supply are the same whichever side of the border they are installed on. See our new home lighting page for how packages work.

How do you get the most out of one trip from Wodonga?

Coming across the border is easy, but it is still worth making one visit count. Before you leave home:

• Measure each room and note the ceiling height, especially if you are choosing ceiling fans or pendants.
• Take photos of the rooms, the existing fittings and any finishes you want to match.
• Bring old globes that need replacing, so we can match them on the spot.
• Bring plans and your builder's lighting allowance if you are building or renovating.
• Call 02 6021 8814 first if you want a consultant's time for a bigger job.

How do you get to the showroom from Wodonga?

Cross the Murray on the Lincoln Causeway into Albury, then head for Dean Street, Albury's main street. The showroom is at the corner of Dean and David Streets, with easy street parking nearby.

We are open Monday to Wednesday 9am to 5pm, Thursday 9am to 6pm, Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm. If you work in Wodonga during the week, Thursday's later close or Saturday morning are often the easiest times to come over.

Can Wodonga customers buy without visiting?

Yes, for some things. Selected lights and ceiling fans are sold through our online store, and you can call or email the team about anything in our supplier catalogues. For larger jobs we still recommend a visit, because seeing fans running and pendants lit is the best way to avoid a fitting that is the wrong size or colour.
