Fix 4 downlights

$200

Mascot NSW 2020, Australia

27th Apr 2026

4 downlights are not working. These are old halogen downlights, and the issue is likely a faulty transformer or possibly something wrong with the wiring/cable. The task is to fix the lights by replacing the transformer, or replacing/repairing any other parts if the transformer is not the cause of the issue. For example, this may involve changing to LED compatible transformers or replacing the existing halogen transformers. Please note that I don’t want to change them to plug-in LED downlight kit, as the look and brightness will be different from the existing lights. Please provide a total price including all fees, labour, and parts/transformers.
