Install light pendant

$300

Denman Prospect ACT 2611, Australia

27th Jan 2026

I request a qualified electrician to install two pendant lights as per the circled green colour and deactivate (so they don't turn on) the two ceiling lights as per the circled red colour. In short: you would need to make the circled-red ceiling lights completely non-operational—so that only the pendant lights turn on when I use the switch—you would need to disconnect the wiring that supplies power to those ceiling lights. The wiring should be inside those individual red-circled lights.

Aaron is absolutely brilliant. Don’t hesitate to hire him.
