Having good lighting makes a huge difference. So it is natural to wonder if you can install LED downlights without hiring an electrician. The best option is to have electricians work on it.
Whether it is ceiling downlights, incandescent or halogen bulbs, bathroom downlights, or LED lighting upgrades, it’s better to consult professionals to avoid the risks involved, especially concerning electricity. Installing LED lights include tons of electrical work and wiring, which we can efficiently deal with, with our team of experts.
Our sleek and elegant designs of downlight installations have made us one of the go-to in Australian homes. We also install efficient LED downlights which use less power, helping you save money.
Downlights are the perfect, energy-efficient accent lighting for rooms with a low ceiling. They illuminate the entire room without posing as obstacles for taller people. Now, when it comes to installing downlights, you can definitely complete the installation process without any professional help.
Of course, there’s a ton of wiring and other electrical work to do, which can be complicated and serve as safety hazards for those with no prior electrical and lighting experience. That’s why it’s probably a good idea to seek help from our licensed electrician.
Another reason why you should seek our professional help is because your existing downlight might be halogen lighting and hard-wired with no surface socket. Only our qualified electrical technicians would be able to upgrade the electrical wiring of these houses by installing a surface or power plug. They’ll also be able to check the ceilings for water damage to prevent future hazards.
All our team members are also trained to keep the following factors in mind during the downlight installation or replacement:

Based on our experience, LED lights are the most common types of downlights installed in every modern Australian home for their energy efficiency. Existing halogen downlights are usually seen in older homes. However, halogen lighting is now slowly becoming obsolete because of its lack of energy efficiency.
That’s why it’s better to call our experienced electricians to replace halogen downlights with more energy-efficient LED downlights. We can even replace compact fluorescent or CFL lighting with LED lights as they consume less energy, saving costs on electricity bills.
The quality LED lights we provide will last up to 50,000 hours, and they come with a one or two-year warranty. In fact, these LED lights will last up to five to eight times longer than a halogen light or CFL lighting.
However, despite having a low lifetime cost and an illuminating life of up to 50,000 hours, LED lights are more expensive to buy. But rest assured, we’ll be giving you a good deal. Our qualified electrician will have the lights installed within no time.
All our experienced electricians are aware that when LED lights are mounted on the ceiling, heat is vented into the roof cavity which can lead to fire risks. So they’ll make sure that the LED lighting is installed properly to prevent these hazards.
Our electricians will also work out a suitable plan to determine the kind of lighting needed for your room. They’ll consider factors such as the room purpose, downlight coverage, quality, brightness and temperature of the LED lights to give you the best lighting solution.
If you’re looking for ways to reduce your energy impact and save money, LED downlights are a great option. They are more efficient than traditional lights and can often be used with specialized dimmer switches to give you complete control over the amount of light in your space. The LED downlight also produces much less heat than halogen and incandescent options.
Engaging a professionally licensed electrician to install downlights and replace existing lighting will cost depending on the design and number of downlights you require. In addition, it depends on the type of light you want to install.
This fee is all-inclusive, covering the cost of materials, the electrician’s time, and the transportation of any necessary materials. The total price may increase if you require more complex lighting designs and additional downlights. It is essential to get accurate and up-to-date quotes from qualified electricians before any installations to ensure you are aware of the project’s total cost.

Whether it’s to install LED downlights or replace existing lighting fixtures with new ones, our qualified electrician will get the job done within no time.
All the team members of our electrical service are available 24/7. Plus, we provide accurate quotes in line with the current rates.
Rest assured, our downlight electrician will be able to complete the work in less than two hours. But before beginning the downlight installation process, the electrical wiring and ceiling will be inspected to prevent the chances of safety hazards.
That said, when it comes to downlights, our electricians would recommend installing new LED downlights even if you have existing halogen lights. This is because LED lights are more energy-efficient with an illuminating life of 50,000 hours and they consume less energy, reducing overall lifetime costs.

Using halogen downlights in residential settings can lead to high energy consumption, as more bulbs are typically needed to light a room adequately. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are more energy efficient than incandescent light bulbs. You can go for an LED lighting upgrade.
The number of downlights needed for a 3-bedroom apartment varies based on factors like room size and desired lighting level. In general, you might consider 4-6 downlights per bedroom and 6-8 downlights for the living room. Consult our professional electricians for a more accurate estimation based on your apartment’s layout and lighting needs.
The expected operational life of a halogen downlight is typically between one to two years.
LED downlights use less energy, are easier to install, upgrade and maintain and produce less heat, making them an excellent option.
