Lighting that works for every room

Some rooms in your place probably feel flat no matter what globe you put in, and that is a layout problem, not a globe problem. Lighting installation in Melbourne done properly layers general light, task light where you need to see, and feature light to set the mood. The result is a home that is bright where it should be, warm where you relax, and easy to live in day and night.

You can mix the full range: downlights, pendants over benches and tables, wall lights, strip lighting under cabinets, and statement fittings that pull a room together. We help you choose the right colour temperature for each space and set up dimming and zones so you can switch from bright and practical to soft and relaxed. Whether you are building, renovating, or just sick of dim, dated lighting, we will design a layout that fits the room and the way you use it.

If you are starting from scratch or reworking a space, we plan the positions before any holes are cut, so you can picture the result and there are no surprises. We handle the wiring, switching and fittings as one tidy job, test everything, and leave the ceilings and walls clean. Found a pendant or feature light you love? We will install fittings you have bought yourself, or supply them if you would rather we did.

If you mainly want recessed lighting, see Downlight Installation, and to switch old fittings to efficient LED see LED Lighting Upgrades. We are licensed and insured, rated 5.0 on Google across 600+ reviews, and every job is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Job organised on the spot and carried out the same day.
Absolutely amazing service A+++++
Great service, very polite and professional and very helpful. Would recommend.
Update: had to get some more electrical work done at my house, this time MelWide sent Vy - another legend - polite, kind, clean, efficient, can’t speak highly enough about this company and their employees, thank you ☺️
____________________________________________
Everyone needs an Albert in their life! I reached out to MelWide for an electrical quote to change some things in my house, the quote was reasonable and their reviews were good so I proceeded. Albert arrived on time and quickly ascertained what the problems were. He explained everything to me in layman’s terms and gave me various options on how to fix them. The job ended up being too much to do in one day (as I kept adding stuff) so the team accommodated the next day and time that I preferred and Albert came back to finish the job. I cannot speak highly enough of him - you can see he takes pride in his work and strives to ensure he delivers the highest quality of work for the least expense to the customer - a rarity in today’s trades from my experiences. I am thrilled with the final result, and relieved that my house is now safer. Moving forward, I will only use MelWide for my electrical needs and will always be requesting Albert to complete the work. Great company to deal with all round, well done and thank you.
We had Zach come look at an issue with our fuse, he was on time, very professional and friendly. He explained everything clearly so we understood.
I had a very positive experience with Melbourne Wide Electricial & Plumbing. They arrived on time and did a wonderful job replacing my light in the garage. Would highly recommend them.
Replaced smoke alarm. Residential.

Easy to work with. Prompt to quote, and prompt to schedule. On time arrival friendly and efficient. Good communication. 🥇

Pendants, dimming and zones set up properly

Your fittings and controls are what bring a lighting plan to life. We hang pendants at the right height over benches and tables, install wall and feature lights cleanly, and set up dimming and lighting zones so you can control the mood in each area. We make sure dimmers and LEDs are matched so there is no flicker or buzz, and we place switches where they make sense to use. Everything is wired safely, tested on the day, and left with a clean finish. We can also add smart switches so you can control lights from your phone or set them to a schedule.

A layout designed around the room

The way you use each room should drive the plan, not the other way round. We look at how each room is used, where the natural light falls, and what you want it to feel like, then design a layout that layers the light properly. That means general light to see by, task light over benches, desks and mirrors, and feature light to highlight a space or set a mood. We balance brightness and warmth so rooms are practical when you need them to be and relaxing when you want them to be, rather than flat and over-lit.

Lighting design and installation across Melbourne's north

Want lighting that actually suits your home? We design and install lighting across Melbourne, with a good share of our work around the northern suburbs such as Preston, Reservoir, Epping and Craigieburn, and we cover the wider metro area too. Older homes through the inner north often have dim, dated lighting that a proper plan completely transforms, while new builds and renovations want a considered layout from the start. We can light a single room or plan a whole home, and we are happy to work in with your builder or designer. If you have a feature wall, artwork or a new kitchen island, we can light it so it stands out. You can also browse all our electrical services. Don’t see your suburb on the list?

Frequently Asked Questions

It comes down to the number of fittings, the mix of lighting types, and how much new wiring and switching is involved. Updating one room is quick, while a whole-home plan is a bigger job. You get a fixed price before any work starts, with no call-out fee: the price you approve is the price you pay. Call 1300 635 294 for a quote.
Yes, for anything wired into the mains: downlights, pendants, wall lights and new switches all legally need a licensed electrician in Victoria. Plug-in lamps you can sort yourself. Every electrician we send is licensed and insured, and the work is tested and signed off properly.
Yes, happily. Plenty of people fall in love with a pendant or feature light first and call us second. We check the fitting suits the spot, mount and wire it properly, and hang it at the right height. If you have not bought anything yet, we can supply fittings too.
Both. We can work to a plan you already have, or design the layout for you based on how you use each room. We layer general, task and feature lighting and choose the right positions, colours and controls, so the result actually suits the space rather than just lighting it.
As early as you can. Planning the lighting before the walls and ceilings are closed up saves time and money and gives you far more options. We are happy to work in with your builder or designer to get the wiring and positions right from the start.
