Replace Downlight with HAY Pendant Light (Erskineville)

$200

Erskineville NSW 2043, Australia

9th Sep 2026

Hey! I am looking for a licensed local electrician to install a HAY Common Pendant Cord Set with a paper shade in my apartment dining area. Job Details: Remove 1x existing recessed downlight and replace it with the new pendant light. Canopy & Cutout: The existing downlight cutout is 9cm. The new light features a 12cm canopy, so it will easily and completely cover the old hole. Placement & Cord: The cord is 4m long. I need it neatly looped/shortened and secured to the ceiling with a hook so it sits perfectly centred over our dining table. Ceiling Type: Standard plasterboard (Gyprock) ceiling. It is standard Sydney apartment height (not a high or double-height ceiling), so a standard ladder will work fine. Current Switch: It is currently wired to a standard on/off switch. Location: Erskineville 2043 Timing: Flexible, but looking to get this sorted soon. Please let me know your availability in your offer!

Licensed electrician – replace Chinese 16A plug with Australian 15A

Would also like you to: Inspect the existing cable/termination for any heat or electrical damage Install a suitable heavy-duty Australian 15A plug Test the appliance after installation to confirm it is safe and operating correctly The existing dedicated 15A wall socket is already installed — no new power point or wiring is required.
