Lighting, inside and out
Good lighting is mostly about where the lights go. We'll help you plan it on site, then install fittings that suit your ceiling, insulation and dimmers.
Signs it's time.
Any one of these is a good reason to have an electrician take a look.
- One light in the middle of the room and dark corners everywhere else
- Old halogen downlights that run hot
- LED lights that flicker or hum on the dimmer
- No light at the front door, side path or back steps
- A renovation that needs a lighting plan
- Pendants wanted over a bench or dining table
Always included.
Whatever the size of the job.
- A lighting layout talked through with you on site
- Downlights rated to sit under ceiling insulation
- Dimmers matched to the lights, so nothing flickers
- Weatherproof fittings outside
- Dust and offcuts cleaned up
- Testing, and a certificate where the work needs one
You book. We sign it off.

Everything tested, dimmers set up, and we show you how it all works.
A fixed price. Here's what sets it.
Every house is different, so we price the job in front of us. These are the things that move it.
- How many lights, and what type
- Access in the roof space
- Ceiling height and material
- Whether new switches or circuits are needed
- Whether we supply the fittings or install yours
You get a fixed, written price before any work starts, with anything optional listed separately. If we find something unexpected once we start, we stop and talk to you before doing anything extra.
All work is done to AS/NZS 3000, the Australian wiring rules.
Example only: nothing was sent

Questions about lighting, inside and out. Answered.
Can't see yours? Call 0491 570 157, or ask when you book.
Can you install lights I've bought?
Yes, as long as they're approved for sale in Australia. We check each fitting before installing it.
Will new LED downlights work with my dimmer?
Not always. LEDs need a dimmer made for them, otherwise they can flicker or buzz. We match the two.
Do you do garden lighting?
Yes: low-voltage garden lights, path and step lights, and sensor lights for the driveway or back door.
Often booked together.
We do lighting, inside and out in Preston and Reservoir and Northcote and Thornbury, and across the rest of Melbourne's north.
