Why Choose Electric East for Lighting

What Northern Rivers Customers Say

Is It Worth Upgrading to LED?

LED fittings use up to 80% less energy than halogen equivalents and last significantly longer. For a home with 20 halogen downlights, the switch to LED can reduce lighting energy costs noticeably within the first year. LED fittings also run cooler, reducing heat load in ceiling cavities — particularly relevant for insulated ceilings.

Electric East Electricians can assess the existing fittings and confirm which LED replacements suit the space, wiring, and dimmer setup.

Lighting Installation FAQs

How many downlights does a room need?
It depends on the room size, ceiling height, and fitting output. As a guide, a standard living room usually needs 4–6 LED downlights for even coverage. Electric East can advise based on the space.
Can you install dimmers on LED lights?
Yes, as long as the LED fittings are dimmable and the dimmer switch is compatible. Not all LEDs and dimmers work together — Electric East confirms compatibility during quoting.
How much does it cost to install outdoor lighting?
The cost depends on the number of fittings, cable runs, and whether a new circuit is needed. Contact Electric East Electricians for a free quote.
Can you install garden lighting in an established garden?
Yes. Low-voltage landscape lighting can usually be installed with minimal ground disturbance. The cable runs and transformer placement are planned to suit the existing layout.
Does Electric East service areas beyond Ballina?
Yes — Ballina, Lismore, Alstonville, Wardell, Evans Head, Woodburn, Coraki, and Broadwater.

I recently had a few electrical jobs done around the house, including installing ceiling fans and new lights, repairing my solar system, and a few others. Everything was completed without any issues, and I'm really happy with how it all turned out. Communication was easy, the work was done neatly, and it was clear he takes pride in what he does. It's nice to have someone who turns up when they say they will and gets the job done properly. I'd happily recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable electrician, and I'll definitely be using him again in the future.
