Downlights done properly, with no patchy lighting

Planning downlights for a new kitchen, a living room or the whole house? Good downlight installation in Melbourne is about more than cutting holes in the ceiling. We plan the layout so the light is even, fit modern LED downlights that run cool and last for years, and leave the ceiling neat. The result should be bright, comfortable light with no dark patches and no glare in your eyes.

You can have dimmable or fixed downlights, and we help you choose the right colour temperature for each room. We set the spacing to suit the space rather than just dropping lights in a grid. LED downlights are far safer and cheaper to run than the old halogen units many homes still have, and they do not pump heat into your ceiling. Already bought your own downlights? We will happily fit those too, and we can supply quality units if you would rather leave it to us.

If you are swapping old halogen downlights rather than adding new ones, see LED Lighting Upgrades, or for a full room-by-room plan see Lighting Design & Installation. We are licensed and insured, rated 5.0 on Google across 600+ reviews, and every job is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee. If the lighting in a new place feels flat or uneven, a proper downlight plan transforms how the whole room feels.

Clean cuts and a tidy ceiling

Your ceiling should look finished, not patched. We cut neatly, fish the wiring through carefully, and fit each downlight flush so the ceiling looks like it was always meant to be that way. Where there are existing fittings or old transformers, we deal with them properly rather than leaving a mess in the roof. We set up dimming where you want it and make sure it runs without flicker or buzz. Before we go we test every light and clean up. We can also move or add switches while we are there, so the lights are controlled from where it actually makes sense.

A layout planned for even, glare-free light

The difference between downlights that look great and downlights that annoy you is the layout. We plan the positions so the light is even across the room, with no dark corners and no glare straight into your eyes from the couch or bed. We take into account the room size, the furniture, and where you actually need light, then set the spacing to suit. Get this right and a few well placed lights do more than a ceiling full of badly placed ones. If you are adding lights to a room with sloped or two-storey ceilings, we plan for that too so the beams land where you want them. We will show you the planned positions before we cut anything, so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

The big factors are how many downlights you want, whether there is existing wiring to work with, your ceiling type and whether you want dimming. Adding a few lights is quick, while wiring a whole house takes longer. You get a fixed price before any work starts, with no call-out fee. Call 1300 635 294 for a quote.
Yes. If you have already picked up your own downlights, we will check they suit the space and fit them properly. If you have not bought anything yet, we can supply quality LED units and save you the shopping around. Either way, the layout and wiring are done to the same standard.
Yes. Downlights are wired into your mains and cut into the ceiling, so they must be installed by a licensed electrician. We are fully licensed and insured, so the work is safe, neat and done to standard. It also means the fittings are installed with the right clearances from insulation.
It depends on the room size, ceiling height and how you use the space, not a fixed formula. We plan the layout so the light is even, with enough coverage and no dark spots or glare. As a guide, well placed LED downlights mean you usually need fewer than people expect.
Warm white suits living areas and bedrooms, while a cooler, brighter white works well in kitchens, bathrooms and work spaces. Many homes mix the two to suit each room. We will help you pick the right colour temperature when we plan the layout.
