Ceiling light installation

Licensed electrician required to install a ceiling light. This is a straightforward job involving the replacement of ONE light fitting only (a single Lexi Lighting fixture with multiple arms, 6 x E27). Existing wiring is already in place, and I will provide the mounting bracket, instructions, and all required bulbs. The job may involve some minor drilling into the ceiling to secure the new bracket. Scope includes removing the existing fitting, installing and mounting the new light, connecting the wiring, and testing to ensure everything is working properly. Please confirm you are a licensed electrician when quoting. If the job is done well, there is potential for further work in the future. Note: I have a ladder available.
Super prompt and professional. Highly recommend Matt.
