This was was built by previous owners prior to selling so it could be sold as an extra bedroom - it’s not load bearing and doesn’t have electrical in it. We want the wall removed to the door next to the kitchen. (You can see where the wall has been attached)

Electrician to install three downlights and relay switch

$150

Cook ACT 2614, Australia

9th Aug 2026

I have three recessed downlights installed (wired), only two working at the moment. Would like to replace them with smart lights (likely the Nanoleaf) and also install a Shelly 1 Gen 4 relay switch. The switch controls all three lights. I haven't got Home Assistant set up yet, so assume will need to have the Nanoleaf act as 'dumb' lights, but priority 1 is painting the room! Happy to discuss/get suggestions - the lights and the switch are arriving Monday, but can always return if needed.

I need two quotes and the work completed asap: 1, fit ceiling lights/fan see images for details/brand. Iv disconnected the current light as per pics and have now lost power to half the lights in the house and the heating. I need the bracket mounted to a knoggen or sufficient to carry 12kgs. (Not straight into plaster) so it’s likely the electrician will need to access the roof space and install 3 plates/noggins for fixing to. Or 2, If this is two expensive just a quote to fit 3x new lights to the ceiling through the plaster board. Iv attached images.

Fantastic service! Great communication! Very happy client!
