Frequently Asked Questions
How much do electricians charge to install downlights?
Electricians typically charge $70-$150 per downlight installed, including the fitting. Bulk installs (6+ lights) often get discounted to $50-$80 per light.
How many downlights do I need per room?
A general rule is one downlight per 1.5-2 square metres. A typical bedroom needs 4-6 downlights, living areas 6-10, and kitchens 4-8 depending on size.
Can I replace halogen downlights with LED myself?
You can replace like-for-like halogen globes with LED globes yourself. However, replacing the entire fitting or transformer requires a licensed electrician in Australia.
