LED downlight installation in Canberra

Plenty of Canberra homes still have halogen downlights that run hot, blow regularly and cost more to run. We replace them with LED fittings, and install new downlights laid out to light the room evenly rather than in a grid that ignores the furniture.

Common reasons people call

  • Halogen downlights blowing or running hot
  • Downlights in the wrong places for how the room is used
  • Mismatched colours of light across one room
  • Insulation pulled back around old fittings

What the job covers

  • Halogen to LED replacement, usually in the existing holes
  • New LED downlight layouts for living areas, kitchens and halls
  • Choosing colour temperature and beam to suit the room
  • Fittings rated for contact with ceiling insulation where required
  • Dimmable options with compatible dimmers

What affects the price

Every job is quoted on what's actually involved. The main things that change it:

  • Replacing in existing holes versus cutting new ones
  • The number of lights and the fitting chosen
  • Ceiling height, raked ceilings and roof-space access
  • Whether new switching or dimmers are needed

What to expect

  1. 1You call or send a quote request with a short description and, ideally, a photo.
  2. 2Mick tells you what's likely involved and whether it needs a look on site first.
  3. 3We book a time, the work is done and tested, and you're shown what was done.

Questions about this job

Will new LEDs fit my old downlight holes?
Most of the time, yes — there are LED fittings made for common halogen cut-out sizes. If the holes are unusual we'll tell you before starting.
Is switching from halogen to LED worth it?
LED downlights use a fraction of the power of halogens, last far longer and run much cooler, which also lowers the heat risk in the ceiling. Most people notice the difference on the power bill and stop replacing blown globes.
Do you install LED downlights in Woden and the inner south?
Yes. We regularly do downlight work around Woden Valley and the inner south — Phillip, Curtin, Garran, Lyons, Mawson and Hughes — as well as the rest of Canberra and Queanbeyan.
