Halogen to LED in Palm Beach — a morning's work, and a fixed price including GST. Electrical3 is based in Cromer, minutes from Palm Beach, 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. |
Beach houses run a lot of light — open-plan living, decks, and rooms that were extended one at a time. Where halogens went into those ceilings they are still drawing ten times what an LED does, and in a timber-framed house the heat they throw into the roof space is its own reason to swap them.
The tip of the peninsula, and a lot of it is holiday houses that sit empty midweek. Homes that are shut up for weeks at a time show problems differently — a fault gets discovered on a Friday night arrival rather than when it starts, and switchboards, hot water and pool gear all suffer from long idle spells followed by heavy weekend use. Waterfront blocks add boatsheds and jetty power to the picture.

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.
