Electrical Rewiring - Wall Sconce to Plug in Lamp

$200

South Yarra VIC, Australia

10th Apr 2026

I purchased 2 wall sconces/lights that I’d like turned into plug in lamps. The lamps shell is metal and easily unscrewed to reveal the wiring. So I can place it on a wall or a tabletop, ideally I’d like a hole drilled in the side casing not the base for the needed cord to allow it to sit flush. I’ve attached images of the light as well as a photo from the website. The spec sheet is available there as well. Thinking a 2 metre cord? Price is an estimate. Let me know if there are any questions!

Ceiling light installation

$150

Toorak VIC 3142, Australia

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.
