Ten halogens swapped for LED in Freshwater, installed, for a price you know before we start. Electrical3 is based in Cromer, minutes from Freshwater, and this is work we do across the Northern Beaches every week.
Every figure below is what we install for, including GST.
| What | Price inc GST | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| 10 downlights swapped | $584 | About $58 a light, including GST and fully installed. |
| 20 downlights swapped | $1,096 | The price per light falls as the number rises — the access and setup are done once. |
| Your exact number | Priced on the page | The calculator on our lighting page gives your figure as you move the slider. |
| Dimmers matched to the new lights | Quoted with the job | Old halogen dimmers rarely work properly with LED and are best changed together. |
| Outdoor and undereave lighting | Quoted on site | Worth doing in the same visit while the ladders are already out. |
Post-war brick and fibro homes that were re-lit in the 2000s, when halogen downlights were what everyone put in. Those fittings are now the single biggest easy saving in the house, and the swap is a morning's work rather than a rewire.
A village with the beach at the end of it, and housing that runs from unrenovated semis to full rebuilds. Because so much has been renovated piecemeal, the most common finding is good new work joined to old circuits, with a switchboard that tells you exactly how many times the house has been altered.
50W halogens still running with their transformers above the ceiling
Insulation pulled back around old fittings, which an LED lets you put back
Dimmers that were matched to halogen and will need changing with the lights
Ten swapped from 50W halogen to LED is $584 including GST, fully installed — about $58 a light. Twenty is $1,096. The calculator on our lighting page prices your exact number as you move the slider.
Usually yes. The access, the setup and the travel happen once, so the price per light falls as the number rises. If you are going to do it eventually, doing it in one visit is the cheaper way.

Almost never. Most halogens are a 90mm cut-out and the LEDs go straight into the same hole. Where a ceiling has an odd size we match it rather than enlarging it, which matters in older and heritage ceilings.
They come out. Leaving them in the ceiling is the shortcut that gets taken and it is both a heat problem and a waste — an LED does not need one. The old fittings and transformers leave with us.
Ten lights is a morning. The old ones come out, the new ones go in, and the room is left as it was found. Every job gets a certificate of compliance.
