Where Construction Excellence Meets Architectural Lighting Design.
CODA Apartments represents a landmark residential development in Coffs Harbour, defined by its scale, construction quality, and refined lighting integration. The project encompasses a comprehensive construction scope, delivering a contemporary multi-residential development built to the highest standards of structural integrity, durability, and architectural precision. A defining feature of CODA Apartments is its extensive and carefully considered LED lighting design, implemented across all private, communal, and external spaces. The lighting strategy has been developed to enhance architectural form, create visual cohesion, and elevate the resident experience throughout the development.
Rapid LED worked closely with Stowe Australia to provide tailored lighting solutions that met the project’s architectural vision and technical requirements. A significant element of the CODA Apartments lighting design is the integration of over 1,600 Rapid LED BONDI Downlights, delivering exceptional visual comfort, architectural consistency, and long-term performance across the entire development. Their slimline profile and minimalist aesthetic allow them to integrate seamlessly into ceilings, preserving clean architectural lines while providing high-performance illumination whilst the extensive installation of several hundred metres of Rapid Neoflex LED Neon Strip lighting delivers architectural precision, visual continuity, and refined ambience throughout the development. Warm, consistent colour temperatures create inviting living spaces, while efficient lighting controls offer flexibility and energy optimisation.
Designed to withstand harsh coastal conditions, more than 250 x 6w LED Anti-Corrosive Exterior Wall Lights have been installed in the exterior surrounds of the CODA building. Engineered from premium materials that resist corrosion, DUKE-6 ensures long-lasting performance while maintaining its sleek, modern appearance over time.
Selected for their durability, versatility and efficiency, the HAWK R3540 LED Battens provide consistent, uniform illumination throughout basement levels, carparks, storage areas, and service corridors. Their clean, low-profile design ensures a neat and professional finish, while delivering the weatherproof reliability essential for high-traffic interior and exterior environments. A combination of standard tri-colour fittings, emergency variants, and integrated sensor-controlled battens was deployed to meet the diverse functional and compliance requirements of the project.
The emergency lighting system reflects a coordinated, performance-driven approach to life-safety design — Rapid Blade Emergency Exit Lighting and Rapid Fire Emergency fittings seamlessly blending compliance, functionality, and architectural refinement.
A defining feature of CODA Apartments is its comprehensive LED lighting strategy, delivered through a close and collaborative partnership between Rapid LED and leading electrical contractor, Stowe Australia. From early-stage design development through to final installation and commissioning, this partnership ensured a cohesive, efficient, and high-performance lighting solution across the entire project.
