Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install LED downlights in Sydney?
Cost depends on the number of downlights and whether new circuits are required. Call us for a fixed-price quote — we price per downlight with no hidden extras.
Can I replace halogen downlights with LED myself in NSW?
No — all electrical work in NSW must be done by a licensed electrician. Replacing downlights involves working in the ceiling cavity and connecting to live circuits.
Do bathroom downlights need to be waterproof?
Yes — bathroom downlights must meet minimum IP ratings depending on their zone. Zone 0 and 1 (inside the shower) require IP67+, Zone 2 requires IP44+. We always spec and install the correct rating.
Why are my LED downlights flickering after installation?
Flickering is usually caused by an incompatible dimmer, undersized transformer, or poor quality LED driver. We diagnose and resolve flickering issues, including replacing incompatible dimmer switches with LED-compatible models.
How many downlights do I need per room?
As a guide, one downlight per 1.5–2 square metres for general lighting in living areas. Kitchens may need more for task lighting. We calculate the exact layout to achieve even, shadow-free illumination in every room.
