Ceiling light installation

Paddington NSW 2021, Australia

Replace a current LED down light with a hanging ceiling lamp. The ceiling light is not directly over the table. It would need a hook in the ceiling so the lamp can hang over the correct spot. Sort of like the reference in the attached image.

Electrician required – install 3 pendant lights into ceiling roses

$500

Paddington NSW 2021, Australia

30th Sep 2026

Looking for a licensed electrician to install 4 customer-supplied pendant lights in an existing terrace house in Paddington. The pendants are opal globe fittings with cord suspension and are to be installed into/with ceiling roses. Existing ceiling lights and wiring are already in place at each location – no new lighting points required. The ceiling roses are already installed. Looking for someone experienced with pendant installations in older homes who can securely mount the fittings through/around the roses without damaging them, set the chain/drop lengths neatly, connect to the existing wiring, and test on completion.

Elton was an absolute legend, he got the job done, was reasonable, and has a great eye for detail, safety, and listening. Would absolutely get him to help me next time. Thank you mate!

Help replacing 4x down lights

$50

Paddington NSW 2021, Australia

25th Aug 2026

4x kitchen down lights that are challenging to replace. Think it is just the bulbs - as they progressively each went out in sequence over a 6 week period. But not sure if it’s fuse or something else related.

Great guy and great service

Electrician needed – replace light + install dimmer

$100

Darlinghurst NSW 2010, Australia

21st Aug 2026

Looking for a licensed electrician to do a small lighting job in a salon/treatment room in Paddington. I need: • Existing hanging/pendant light removed • Replaced with a recessed LED downlight to match the existing downlight in the room as closely as possible • Existing light switch changed to a dimmer switch • Please make sure the new downlight is dimmable and compatible with the dimmer • Ideally I’d like the finished result to look neat and flush with the ceiling I’ve attached photos of the existing light, nearby downlight and switch. Need you to supply the downlight/dimmer — please include materials in your offer. Must be a licensed electrician.

Leba was very professional, helpful and had a great attitude towards the task I needed completed at my shop. I highly recommend him!

Electrician kitchen powerpoints not working + light switch replacement

$150

Paddington NSW 2021, Australia

11th Aug 2026

All powerpoints in my kitchen have stopped working (air fryer, kettle, food processor, gas cooktop ignition, and exhaust fan), but lights in the kitchen and rest of the house are fine, and the fridge is still running. I checked the switchboard outside and none of the breakers appear to be tripped/flicked down. This happened after running the air fryer, kettle, and food processor at the same time, so it may be an overload trip on a breaker that isn’t resetting properly, or could be a wiring fault. Need a licensed electrician to diagnose and fix. Also have a light switch elsewhere in the house that’s stuck and needs replacing — can be done in the same visit.

Alan was great. Quick! Helpful and did a great job!

Paddington NSW 2021, Australia

6th Jul 2026

*Edit* - have added pics. Looking for a licensed NSW electrician to complete a number of electrical repairs and small installation works at my home. Preference for someone experienced with fault finding, residential renovations, and older homes. Scope of works: Repair existing power point near the front door (currently not working). Reconnect existing Google Nest Doorbell to mains power. This was previously hardwired by an electrician, so the wiring is already in place, however the connection appears to have failed. Repair external weatherproof courtyard power point. Install one new power point on the first floor staircase landing - regarding access, the switchboard is directly underneath this landing. Remove redundant external bunker light from the second floor balcony and make safe. Reattach and test wall sconce in the sunroom. Assess the existing electrical installation and advise whether any additional circuits are recommended to support future loads. Inspect the existing switchboard and provide a separate quotation for any recommended RCD/safety switch or switchboard upgrades. Requirements: Current NSW Electrical Tradesperson Licence. Able to issue a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW). Fully insured. Please include your availability and whether your pricing is fixed price or hourly.

Install Ceiling Lights

$100

Paddington NSW 2021, Australia

14th Jun 2026

I have two pendant lights that need shortening and installing. Both are the same style (photo attached). Location 1: The existing fitting has already been removed. The bare wires are isolated and ready for connection. The electrician needs to connect and hang the pendant, then cut the cord to an appropriate length so the shade sits at the right height. Location 2: The existing fitting is still in place. The electrician needs to remove it, then connect and hang the new pendant, cutting the cord to match Location 1. Both locations: The ceiling features original decorative heritage plaster roses. Take care not to crack or chip the plasterwork when securing the mounts. Test both lights before completing the job.

Great to work with.
