Benefits of Professional Lighting Installation
Choosing professional lighting installations ensures that you receive the best results tailored to your space.
Expert Lighting Installations for Your Home

- Improved Aesthetics: The right lighting can transform a room, highlighting key features and creating the perfect ambiance.

Interior & Feature Lighting
Beyond downlights, Marmont Electrical installs the full range of interior and feature lighting types for residential and commercial properties across the Northern Beaches and North Shore. From pendant lights and chandeliers to wall sconces, LED strip lighting, track lighting, and cabinet lighting, we handle every style and scale of installation — fully compliant with Australian Standards.
Pendant Light Installation
Pendant lights are one of the most effective ways to define a space — over a kitchen island, dining table, or reading nook. Pendant light installation requires correct height positioning, appropriate cable drop lengths, and a ceiling outlet that can handle the fixture’s weight. Our electricians handle the full installation including any required ceiling modifications.
Under-Cabinet & Feature Lighting
We also offer under-cabinet lighting installations that enhance your workspace and provide better visibility.
Under-cabinet lighting in kitchens, LED strip lighting in joinery, and feature lighting in living spaces are increasingly popular in Northern Beaches renovations. We install concealed LED strip systems, under-cabinet puck lights, and architectural feature lighting that integrates cleanly with your cabinetry and joinery.
Light Switch Replacement & Upgrades
Upgrading your light switches — from standard plate switches to sleek flat-plate, touch, or smart switch designs — is a fast and cost-effective way to modernise your home. We handle single, double, and multi-gang switch replacements, as well as dimmer switch upgrades. If you’re replacing a light switch or upgrading to a full smart lighting system, our team can advise on the best solution for your home.
Energy-Efficient Lighting Installation
Upgrading to energy-efficient lighting is one of the best returns on investment a homeowner can make. LED lighting uses up to 75% less energy than halogen and lasts 15,000–50,000 hours — replacing halogen downlights in a typical 3-bedroom home can save $200–$400 per year. Marmont Electrical installs only quality LED products from trusted Australian suppliers, selecting the right colour temperature and CRI for each space. All work includes a Certificate of Compliance on completion.
Outdoor & Garden Lighting Installation
A well-designed outdoor lighting installation transforms how you use and experience your home after dark. Marmont Electrical designs and installs outdoor lighting systems — including garden and landscape uplighting, pathway and step lighting, sensor and security lights, deck and alfresco fittings, and facade lighting to highlight your home’s best features.All outdoor lighting is installed using IP-rated weatherproof fittings and appropriately rated cable, fully compliant with Australian Standards, with energy-efficient LED options to keep running costs low.

Frequently asked questions
How much does downlight installation cost in Sydney?
The cost of downlight installation depends on the number of fittings, the type of LED chosen, and whether any rewiring is required. As a rough guide, LED downlight installation in an existing home typically ranges from $80–$140 per downlight, including the fitting, labour, and compliance certificate. New build or renovation rough-in work is quoted separately based on the scope. We provide free, itemised quotes before starting any work.
How long does a lighting installation take?
A standard LED downlight replacement for a typical 3–4 bedroom home (10–20 downlights) can usually be completed in a single day. Outdoor garden lighting installations and more complex feature lighting projects may take 1–2 days depending on cable runs and the number of circuits involved. We’ll provide a clear timeline in your quote.
Do I need a licensed electrician to install downlights?
Yes. In NSW, all electrical installation work — including downlight installation, pendant light installation, and outdoor lighting installation — must be performed by a licensed electrician. DIY electrical work is illegal in Australia and can void your home insurance. Marmont Electrical holds Electrical Contractors Licence 470836C and provides a Certificate of Compliance with every installation.
What type of LED downlights do you recommend?
We install and recommend CCT-adjustable (colour temperature selectable) LED downlights for most residential applications, as they allow you to switch between warm white (2700K–3000K) and cool white (4000K+) to suit different moods and times of day. For kitchens and bathrooms, we recommend IP44 or higher-rated fittings for moisture resistance. For most living spaces, we use high-CRI (90+) LEDs that render colours accurately — important in rooms where artwork, furnishings, or food are being lit.
Can you install outdoor lighting on a two-storey home?
Yes. We install outdoor lighting at any height, including eave-mounted flood lights, roof-level sensor lights, and second-storey facade lighting. All elevated work is carried out with appropriate access equipment and falls under the same licensing and compliance requirements as standard electrical work.
Do you install smart lighting systems?
Yes. Marmont Electrical can integrate your new lighting into a smart home system — allowing you to control lights by app, voice, or automation schedule. We work with a range of smart lighting platforms including Clipsal Wiser, Philips Hue, and other leading brands, compatible with Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and Amazon Alexa. Smart lighting is particularly popular in new builds and high-end renovations across the Northern Beaches. We can install smart switches, smart dimmers, or full smart lighting systems depending on your budget and requirements.
