Electrician to replace 11 x down lights + some ceiling tiles

$1,000

Kew VIC 3101, Australia

12th Jun 2025

There are 10 downlights in one of our dance studios that are buzzing and missing covers. They have a dimmer switch which makes the buzzing worse so likely needs to be replaced. I'd like these down lights to be replaced with LIFX Colour Down lights (that change colour). There is also one downlight in a bathroom that is flickering and needs to be replaced with a normal globe. Ideally not too white/fluorescent, but more warm toned. There are a few ceiling tiles with some stains/water damage and one that is hanging down a bit in one of the studio spaces that need replacing. Following the above tasks, dependant on cost, we may need some reconfiguring of other ceiling lights to make them more symmetrical and some re-wiring to have switches correspond to the different spaces better.
