We actually have done our electrical plan and added all our extra light points and power points etc. What I'm trying to find out is how muc I should expect to pay just for the installation of the fixtures (all the wiring is already accounted for) Ooops sorry, I went off on a bit of a tangent. Ours were just $12 to have our light fittings installed (this included all types pendants, downlights etc) Friends of mine had the following breakdown: $18 for basic light fitting $40 for pendant light fitting $20.95 for fitting of downlight Hope this is helpful Re: Installing Light Fittings $$ 6Dec 08, 2009 7:45 am Thanks Loretta & poppamatic. Fingers crossed my builders electrician with charge about the same!!

Hope that's helped. does this mean it includes the actual lights and fans or just for the installation costs and wiring cost and labour cost? My builder said $100+GST per downlight fully installed for me so i have to budget lighting very carefully since they're so deer. Re: Installing Light Fittings $$ 9Dec 15, 2009 2:00 pm I just got a quote over the phone for $1600 + GST for two days of work to install the fittings. Works out at about $100 + GST an hour for a sparky and his apprentice. I'll see what my builders electrican quotes and go from there! Thanks for all the responses Re: Installing Light Fittings $$ 10Dec 15, 2009 2:13 pm novotel does this mean it includes the actual lights and fans or just for the installation costs and wiring cost and labour cost? The quote was just to install fittings the Better Half and I had already purchased, this included the cost of the wiring and a couple of new wall switches. Though they did supply and install the downlight guards, I think they were $9 each. Took a sparkie and his off-sider three days to have everything done.. Re: Installing Light Fittings $$ 12Dec 15, 2009 10:28 pm novotel what's a downlight guards? Downlights generate a lot of heat, especially halogens. Over here in the west, it's compulsory to install guards around the downlight (above the ceiling) this stops dust or blow in insulation from building up around the light and possibly catching fire.
