Lighting & Fans

Yes. Old halogen and incandescent downlights are a common upgrade — modern LED dimmable downlights are more energy-efficient, run cooler, last longer and remove the fire-risk insulation clearance issue that older halogens created. The team supplies and installs reputable Australian-compliant fittings and recycles the old ones responsibly.

You can supply your own fan or have it supplied as part of the quote — either path works. If you'd like a recommendation, the team can suggest reliable brands that match your room size and ceiling height without upselling the most expensive option. Installation includes blocking-out the ceiling fixing if needed, wall control or remote pairing and balance testing.

Yes, provided the fitting carries Australian electrical safety approval markings. Some imported fittings sold online don't meet Australian standards — the team will check the fitting at the quote visit and let you know if it can be installed safely. If it can't, you'll have time to return it before the booking rather than finding out on the day.

Yes. New light points or ceiling fan points can usually be added by running fresh cabling through the ceiling space — the trade-off is one or two small access cuts in the plaster, which are made small enough to be patched neatly. Concrete ceilings or limited roof access can make the run trickier; the team will be honest about what's involved before the work is booked.

Modern dimmers must match the lamp type — leading-edge, trailing-edge, or smart switches with LED-rated electronics. Mismatched dimmers cause flicker, buzzing or premature lamp failure. The team supplies the right dimmer for the lamps being installed and tests dimming smoothly across the full range before leaving.

Yes. Sensor lights, garden lighting, deck and pergola lighting, weatherproof power and feature uplighting are common requests. All outdoor work uses IP-rated weatherproof fittings, weatherproof junction boxes and circuit protection appropriate for outdoor use. Cable runs are routed through wall cavities and conduit so nothing is hanging in the elements.

Plaster-and-lath ceilings, ornate cornices and pre-war wiring all require a careful approach. Cable routing is planned to keep wall and ceiling damage to a minimum, period light fittings are rewired rather than replaced where you'd prefer, and any heritage compliance constraints are factored into the scope. The team is comfortable working in older Brisbane homes.
