Frequently Asked Questions

How much does downlight installation cost in Sydney?

Installation costs typically range from $80-180 per light, depending on complexity and access. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your specific requirements, ensuring no surprises.

Can you install downlights in concrete ceilings?

Absolutely! We have specialised equipment and expertise to handle concrete ceiling installations safely and efficiently. The process takes longer than plasterboard but delivers excellent results.

Do I need planning permission for downlight installation?

Most residential downlight installations don’t require council approval, but electrical work must comply with Australian standards. Our qualified electricians ensure all work meets compliance requirements.

What’s the difference between mains voltage and low voltage downlights?

Mains voltage downlights connect directly to 240V power, while low voltage options use transformers to step down to 12V. Both have advantages – we’ll advise what’s best for your situation.

How long does the installation process take?

Typical installations take 2-4 hours for 6-8 downlights. Complex jobs with difficult access or extensive wiring modifications may take longer. We provide accurate timing estimates with your quote.
