What Do LED Downlights Cost to Install in Newcastle?
Per light, you're looking at $85–$130 per LED downlight installed in the Newcastle area, including the light itself. Larger jobs (10+ lights) typically work out cheaper per point.
Cost Breakdown by Scenario
| Scenario | Typical Cost |
|---|---|
| New LED install at existing wiring point | $85–$120 per light |
| Halogen-to-LED swap (direct replacement) | $50–$90 per light |
| New circuit for additional downlights | +$200–$400 one-off |
| Outdoor weatherproof installs | $130–$200 per light |
| Feature and pendant light fitting | $80–$180 per fitting |
Is Halogen Conversion Worth It?
12 halogen downlights running 4 hours per day at 30c/kWh: ~$264/year in electricity. Switch to LED: ~$42/year. On a 12-light conversion costing around $900 installed, you've paid it back in electricity savings in roughly 4 years — and LED globes last 10+ years.
💡 Dimmer compatibility: Not all dimmers work with LEDs. If you have existing dimmers, Nate will check whether they need replacing before committing to the job. Dimmer replacement typically adds $60–$90 per switch.
