    Is there any regulation when it comes to replacing old fluros with LED battens in garage common areas.

    The regulations seem to specifiy the maximum amount of power to be consumed for lighting rather than the equipment that provides it.

    This document (Australian Building Codes Board) specifies 6 Watts per sqm inside a garage and 25 W/sqm in the entranceway (first 20 metres).

    This one based on Building Codes Australia, limits garage lighting to 3 W/sqm.

    I’d just go with what your electrician says.
