One of the protected power switches was triggered yesterday.

Electrician Needed

$150

Zetland NSW, Australia

21st May 2026

I need an electrician. The pendant light in the house was originally a 12V system, but due to issues with the LED light tubes, we replaced it with a new pendant light that needs to be connected directly to a 240V power supply. However, we discovered that the wiring coming down from the ceiling is already converted to 12V, so it is likely connected to a transformer somewhere in the circuit. The problem is that we have no idea where the transformer is located. We therefore need an electrician to investigate and resolve the issue.

Alex was extremely reliable, worked quickly, and solved the problem efficiently. The light installation looks beautiful, and he even cleaned and wiped everything down afterwards. He paid great attention to detail throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!

Need a licensed electrician to install a weatherproof outdoor power point on my apartment balcony. The new outlet would be installed underneath the existing AC unit area.

Please only respond if you are a licensed electrician and can provide licence details if required.
