Electrician install offset pendant

$250

Alexandria NSW 2015, Australia

27th Jun 2026

Title: Install pendant light using existing downlight wiring Looking for a licensed electrician to install a pendant light over my dining table. The job is to: * Remove one existing downlight and use it as the power source. * Install the pendant approximately 60–90 cm away from the existing downlight using a ceiling hook (offset/swag style). * Install the ceiling canopy over the existing downlight location. * Hang and test the pendant. No new switch is required, and I’m not looking to relocate wiring through the ceiling—just use the existing downlight circuit with an offset cable to position the pendant over the table. The apartment has plasterboard ceilings and good access to the area. I haven’t purchased the pendant yet, so happy to discuss any compatibility requirements. Please quote including labour only (or let me know if any additional materials such as hooks or cable supports are needed). Thanks!

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!
