Installing Downlights

A downlight is a recessed fixture set flush into the ceiling. It brings a clean, modern look to living areas, kitchens, hallways, and bathrooms. When planned correctly, downlights can accent walls, highlight artwork, or create soft ambient light. Poor placement or insecure mounting, however, can leave dark spots, glare, or even overheat fixtures—so proper installation matters.

Three Keys to Great Downlight Design

  • Pattern & Purpose: Lay out downlights in a grid or wall-wash pattern to draw attention to features like artwork or shelving.

  • Dimmable Control: Use compatible LED drivers and dimmer switches so you can adjust brightness for tasks or mood.

  • Smart Spacing: Calculate spacing by dividing ceiling height by two (e.g., 2.4 m ceiling → 1.2 m apart) to avoid dark corners or overly bright patches.

LED Light Installation Melbourne for Cost Savings

LEDs use up to 80% less energy than incandescent bulbs and can last over 50,000 hours. They come in cans, strips, panels, and a spectrum of colour temperatures—from cool daylight to warm white—so you can tailor light for reading nooks or cozy lounges.

Choosing the Right LED 

Look for:

  • High CRI (≥ 90) for accurate colour rendering

  • Energy Rating of three stars or above

  • Compatible Drivers with surge protection

Smart Timers and Motion Sensors

Timers switch lights on or off at preset times—great for porches, garages, or mood lighting that follows your routine. Motion sensors power lights only when you enter, saving energy and boosting security in hallways and utility rooms. Combine these with dimmable LEDs for automated, efficient control.

Hear What Our Happy Clients Say About Us…

Just had some electrical work/ security camera set up done by Ethan, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. He was super efficient, really patient, and just overall great to work with. You can tell he knows his stuff and actually cares about doing a good job. What really stood out was the customer service — so friendly and easy to talk to. He took the time to explain what he was doing and made sure I was comfortable with everything. No rush, no pressure, just really solid work.

P.S  my dogs loved him

Anna - Kilsyth

Ethan fitted me into his schedule at short notice after we had an electrical fault emergency. Ethan was very knowledgeable and future safety was top of his list. He identified the issue immediately and fixed the damage it had caused and tested my appliance which put my mind at ease after quite a frightening experience. 5 stars, my go to electrician from now on

Debbie - Croydon

Had a great experience with Thomas Group Electrical. They were punctual, professional, and easy to deal with from the moment they arrived. They replaced a few outlets and carried out a full check of all the smoke alarms and sockets. The work was done efficiently, to a high standard, and they left everything neat and tidy. It’s reassuring to have tradespeople who are both reliable and respectful. I’d happily recommend them to anyone needing quality electrical work.

Angus - Mornington

Fast, friendly, and zero fuss. Ethan spotted an overloaded circuit I’d been ignoring for years and fixed it on the spot. Plus the bonus surge protector gives real peace of mind—no more worrying about storms frying my gear!

Melissa - Cheltenham

Ethan was incredibly thorough with our safety inspection—every circuit, outlet, and switch was checked from top to bottom. He installed the surge protection device in under an hour, and our home hasn’t tripped once since. Highly recommend Ethan’s service!

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  • Flickering often means loose connections or incompatible dimmers.

  • Colour shifts point to mixed bulb types or driver mismatches.

  • Overheating suggests poor insulation clearance or failing drivers.

Early diagnosis with a multimeter prevents damage and safety hazards.

How Long Does Installation Take?

A simple downlight swap can finish in under 15 mins . Full-room installations typically take 1 to 2 hours, depending on fixture count and ceiling access. Retrofits in airtight or insulated ceilings may add one to two hours for safety measures. A pre-job walkthrough gives an accurate timeline and avoids surprises. 

Having said that we dont charge by time. everything we price is itemised.
