Replace bulbs in 7-8 downlights and fix surging switch

$200

Collins Street Precinct VIC, Australia

26th May 2025

Approx 7-8 of my downlights are now out and need to be replaced. I am not sure of the exact size/specs. Tasker will need to bring bulbs or include cost of bulbs in the quote. Would very much prefer bulbs that have a warmer more yellow light than harsh fluorescent / blueish light . Need the lights / bulbs to be dimmable. There is also one switch / one set of lights that is blown out and was surging before it blew out. So this may need to be looked at more carefully/ fixed .

got a bunch of older bulbs swapped for new ones. 👍
