Our kitchen feature light is having issues. It switches on but is very very low on output and barely lights. It looks like it’s an LED strip but haven’t taken it apart. Would also love to add a dimmer. When it was working it was super bright but want to be able to adjust the lighting. Also I’ve only put an amount to start, not sure what this may cost but happy for it to be quoted.

Electrician Needed | Convert Touch Lamp to Apple HomeKit Compatible

$300

Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

20th Aug 2025

Hi there, I have an issue with my ordinary touch lamps that have Philips Hue bulbs. They keep losing connection to Apple Home whenever the lamps are turned off. After doing some research, I discovered that I need to install a Philips Hue wall module (https://www.philips-hue.com/en-au/support/product/wall-switch-module/100015) to resolve this issue. The module can be installed either inside the lamp housing or at the cable connection point. I'm seeking a certified electrician who can safely install these modules on three lamps for me. Thanks in advance!

Adjust temperature on hot water heater

$50

Travancore VIC 3032, Australia

20th Aug 2025

I had my hot water heater replaced recently with this https://www.samedayhotwaterservice.com.au/product/rheem-stainless-steel-80-litre-hot-water-system/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17613708470&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyIPDBhDBARIsAHJyyVhhPaId09ffQ6ACr80L9LZZA9X07VymvcEmnsxiEFNso2Q7tQLXy9gaAkYDEALw_wcB and the tech installed it set to a fairly low temperature, which he said he was required to do. I have the manual and a little key thing that he left for me (pictured) but I can't for the life of me figure out how to adjust the temp, and the manual only says to get an electrician to do it. Just looking for someone who knows their way around a unit to bump it up for me! I work from home so during the day is best. Unit is easily accessible in a hall cupboard.

Thanks for the help, and spotting the leak issue.
