What We Handle Under Light Installation
Once you start itemising it, lighting work spans a far wider range than most homeowners expect. Most jobs are booked as a straightforward upgrade rather than a full renovation.
- Downlights. LED downlights fitted with fire-rated covers wherever the ceiling requires them.
- Pendants and feature lights. New circuits or points added wherever the design needs them.
- Dimmers. Compatible dimmer switches matched to the fitting, not bolted on and hoped for.
- Security floodlights. Sensor lighting for driveways, side paths and entries.
- Garden lighting. Low-voltage runs for outdoor spaces, weatherproofed for the coast.
- Ceiling fan lights. Combined fan and light units wired and balanced properly.
- Sensor and timer switching. Motion sensors and timers for lights that get left on by habit.
When It Is Time for Light Installation
A few situations send most calls our way, and a couple of them are more common in older beachside homes than newer builds.
- Downlights that have started to flicker, buzz or run hot.
- A renovation or extension that needs new lighting points planned from scratch.
- Old batten holders that need replacing with something more useful.
- A kitchen renovation or bathroom update calling for fresh, brighter lighting.
- Outdoor spots left completely dark, or fittings that have corroded in the salt air.
- A dimmer that no longer works properly with the fitting it controls.
The Narrabeen Angle on Light Installation
Ceiling material is what actually changes a light installation job, more than the age of the street it sits on. Fibro sheeting common in Narrabeen's older cottages near the lagoon and beach behaves nothing like a brick-veneer roof space.
Pittwater Road's newer unit stock brings its own access rules again, usually a shared ceiling void rather than a private roof space to climb into.
Cutting into fibro calls for a steadier hand and fire-rated downlight covers to stay compliant, where a roof space on a street like Waterloo Street usually gives easier access for running new cable.
We check the ceiling type before quoting, not after we have started cutting holes. It saves a return visit and keeps the finish looking right the first time.
What Your Light Installation Quote Depends On
A few factors decide what a lighting job costs, and we walk through them at the quote stage.
- The fitting type and how many points the job needs.
- Ceiling access, including insulation and any fire-rated cover requirements.
- Whether new circuits or a dedicated switch run are needed.
- The brand and finish you choose, from standard to premium.
Older fibro ceilings around the lagoon and beach can add a little time to a downlight job, since fire-rated covers and careful cutting take longer than a straightforward brick-veneer install. That extra time gets reflected in the quote, not added on afterwards.
Every quote is fixed, written and given free before any cutting starts, and first-time customers get $50 off your first service.
How We Work on Light Installation Jobs
Swapping out a batten holder or adding a couple of new points is typically a same-visit job. Bigger jobs with new circuits to run take more planning, and we walk you through the steps either way.
- Quote and plan. We confirm the fittings, points and any ceiling access issues.
- Isolate and install. Power is isolated, then fittings are wired and fixed in place.
- Test each circuit. Every new point is tested before we move on to the next.
- Sign off. Notifiable work gets a Certificate of Compliance before we leave.
Compliance, Certificates and NSW Requirements
Lighting work of this kind sits under the AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules governing circuit design, cable sizing and safe installation. DIY electrical work, including hardwired lighting, is illegal in NSW.
When the work is classed as notifiable, a Certificate of Compliance for electrical work is lodged with NSW Fair Trading once testing is done. You get a copy so there is a record on file.
Older homes without a safety switch on the lighting circuit often need one added as part of the job, which we mention up front rather than as a surprise on the day.
The Difference on a Light Installation Job
We fit Beacon Lighting and Clipsal gear as standard, not the cheapest option on the shelf. One reviewer, Benjamin, told us that when a job threw up a surprise nobody could have planned for, we had a workable plan running almost immediately.
That is the standard we hold every lighting job to, big or small, whether it is one dimmer or a full room of downlights.
Servicing Nearby Homes Too
A lighting job sometimes turns into more once we're already inside a ceiling, whether that's a switchboard that needs attention or an EV circuit worth running while the walls are open. Narrabeen keeps us busy, and Cromer and Narraweena see plenty of the same trucks.

Common questions
Light Installation FAQs
Common questions before you book a light installation.
Do you offer light installation in Narrabeen on weekends?
Saturdays are usually doable if you flag it early. Tell us when you call and we will slot the job in around whatever else is on the van that week.
Is my older place suitable for light installation?
Yes, older cottages built from fibro or brick just need a bit more care in the roof space, checking material and existing wiring before any cutting starts. It rarely rules anything out.
Does light installation legally require a licensed electrician?
Yes, by law. Fixed wiring falls under licensed electrical work in NSW, so hardwired fittings aren't a DIY job you can legally take on yourself.
Do you supply the materials or can I buy my own?
Either works. We supply SAL and Beacon Lighting fittings as standard, or we can install fittings you already own, and we will flag it upfront if something you supply is not suited to the job.
What's the typical cost of getting lights installed?
It depends on the fitting type, how many points you need, and how easy the ceiling space is to reach. We walk you through a free written quote at the door, so nothing is a surprise once the job starts.
How long will the job take from start to finish?
A small run of downlights or swapping a pendant typically wraps inside a couple of hours. Relighting an entire room, or adding new circuits, takes longer, and we give you that time estimate alongside the price.
