LED Downlight Installation

LED Downlight Installation & Lighting Upgrades

Swapping tired halogens for modern LEDs cuts lighting energy use by around 80%, removes a genuine roof-space fire risk, and completely changes how a room feels. Done well, it's a lighting design job — not just a fitting swap.

We plan beam spread and spacing properly so you don't end up with the airport-runway look, and we use dimmable tri-colour fittings so you can set warm light in the living areas and cool white in the kitchen and laundry.

  • Halogen to LED changeovers
  • New downlight circuits and layouts
  • Dimmable and tri-colour fittings
  • Kitchen, alfresco and outdoor lighting
  • LED strip and under-cabinet lighting
  • Pendant and feature light installation

Worth upgrading when

  • You still have 50W halogens and hot ceilings
  • Lights hum or flicker when dimmed
  • Rooms have dark corners and harsh glare
  • Globes are failing every few months
  • You're repainting or renovating anyway

How it works

  1. 1

    Lighting plan

    We walk the rooms with you and mark positions before cutting anything.

  2. 2

    Install

    Fittings installed, ceiling insulation kept clear, holes cut cleanly.

  3. 3

    Set and test

    Dimmers matched to the fittings and colour temperature set the way you want it.

What it costs

Straight changeovers are priced per light with a discount for volume. New positions cost more because they involve new cabling and ceiling access. Fixed price quoted before we start.

Licensing & compliance

Fittings installed with correct clearances to insulation and installed to AS/NZS 3000. Old halogen transformers are removed, not left live in the roof.

Questions

LED Downlight Installation — common questions

Can you install downlights without damaging my ceiling?

In most homes yes — we cut from below with a hole saw and dust extraction, and existing holes are usually reused on changeovers.

What colour temperature should I choose?

3000K warm white for living and bedrooms, 4000K for kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. Tri-colour fittings let you decide on the day.

Why do my LEDs flicker on the dimmer?

The dimmer is almost certainly a leading-edge type left over from halogens. We replace it with a trailing-edge dimmer matched to the LEDs.
