Lighting Installation MELBOURNE
Your local experts in Lighting Installation
Good lighting transforms a home. The right downlights make a living room feel larger and more welcoming. A well-placed pendant defines a dining space. Outdoor security lighting makes a property safer and more valuable. And smart dimmers give you complete control of the mood in every room from your phone.
We’re licensed electricians based in Melbourne’s Western suburbs, and we carry out residential lighting installations right across the city — from LED downlight upgrades and feature lighting in Point Cook, Tarneit, and Werribee, to outdoor and smart lighting installs across all of Melbourne. Fixed pricing, clean installation, and every job certified on completion.
What’s included in a Rincon Electrical lighting installation
Every lighting installation we carry out starts with an honest conversation about what you’re trying to achieve — the look, the function, the fittings you have in mind, and the budget. We advise on downlight placement, colour temperature, and fitting selection before any work begins, so the result is exactly what you were expecting.
The installation itself covers all wiring from the existing circuit or new circuit where required, ceiling penetrations cut cleanly and to the correct diameter, fittings supplied or customer-supplied fittings installed, dimmer switch installation where applicable, and full testing before we leave. All ceiling areas are left clean and tidy. A Certificate of Electrical Safety is issued on completion of every job.
Why Melbourne homeowners choose Rincon Electrical for lighting installation.
Lighting installation is one of the most visible electrical services in a home — the results are on display every time the lights go on. We treat every lighting job with that in mind: neat ceiling cuts, fittings installed flush and level, cables concealed, and switch plates aligned. The finish matters as much as the function.
We carry out lighting installations across Melbourne’s Western suburbs and all of Melbourne, from single-room LED upgrades in established Werribee homes to full new-build lighting fits in Point Cook and Tarneit estates. With 35 years of residential electrical experience and over 500 five-star Google reviews, we’re the licensed, local electrician Melbourne homeowners trust with the work that’s seen every day.
Why professional lighting installation makes a real difference:
- Energy savings — LED uses up to 75% less electricity than halogen; most Melbourne homes save $200–$400 per year after upgrading.
- Longer lifespan — 25,000–50,000 hours vs 2,000 for halogen; far fewer replacements, far less maintenance.
- Better light quality — high-CRI LED delivers consistent, accurate colour rendering that makes rooms feel cleaner and more spacious.
- Smart home compatibility — integrates with Google Home, Alexa, and HomeKit; full control from your phone or by voice.
- Property value — professional lighting is one of the first things buyers and renters notice; lifts perceived quality of any Melbourne home.

Aymen was an absolute life saver!
Aymen was a life saver. He turned up on a Saturday and spent around 4 hours on site installing our Tesla wall charger. It was a harder install than expected and he and his apprentice nailed it. Very happy with their work and would recommend them to all.

Lighting Installation FAQ
Your Lighting Installation questions answered.
How much does LED downlight installation cost in Melbourne?
LED downlight installation in Melbourne typically ranges from $80 to $150 per fitting supplied and installed, depending on the fitting type and the number of lights being installed. Larger installs cost less per fitting. Replacing existing halogen downlights on an existing circuit sits at the lower end of this range. We provide a fixed upfront quote before starting — call 03 4250 9530 for a free assessment.
How many downlights do I need per room?
As a general guide, most rooms require one downlight per 1.4 to 1.6 square metres of ceiling area for adequate, even illumination. A 20m² living area typically needs 12–14 downlights, depending on ceiling height and the beam angle of the fittings chosen. We advise on the right number and placement for each room before we start — the layout makes a significant difference to the final result.
Can you replace my halogen downlights with LED?
Yes, replacing halogen downlights with LED equivalents is one of the most common lighting jobs we carry out across Melbourne. In most cases, LED retrofit fittings can be installed into existing ceiling holes without any patching. We assess your existing downlight layout, recommend suitable LED replacements, and carry out the full installation in a single visit.
How long does lighting installation take?
Most standard residential lighting jobs are completed in a single visit. A full-room LED downlight installation for a typical Melbourne home (15–20 downlights) takes 3 to 5 hours. Larger installs or jobs requiring new circuit wiring will take longer. We confirm the expected timeframe when we provide your quote.
Do I need a licensed electrician to install downlights?
Yes. Installing downlights involves connecting to your home’s electrical circuit — which is classified as electrical installation work in Victoria and must be carried out by a licensed electrician. Self-installation is illegal, dangerous, and voids your home insurance. Rincon Electrical is a Registered Electrical Contractor in Victoria — every lighting job is certified on completion.
Can you install smart lighting and dimmer switches?
Yes. We install smart switches, smart dimmers, and Wi-Fi-enabled lighting systems that integrate with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit — giving you full lighting control from your phone or by voice. We advise on the right system for your home’s wiring and your preferred smart home platform before any hardware is committed to.
Can you install outdoor and security lighting?
Yes. We install outdoor security lighting, motion-sensor floodlights, dusk-to-dawn lights, garden path lighting, and feature landscape lighting for Melbourne homes. All outdoor lighting is installed to Australian standards for weatherproof outdoor environments. We advise on placement for maximum coverage and deterrence.
What colour temperature LED should I choose?
Colour temperature is measured in Kelvin (K). Warm white (2700–3000K) suits bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas — it creates a relaxed, inviting feel. Cool white (4000–4500K) suits kitchens, bathrooms, and workspaces — it provides bright, clean, task-oriented light. Daylight (5000–6500K) suits garages and utility areas. We advise on the right colour temperature for each room when we quote.
