WHAT WE DO
Swap old halogens or dark rooms for bright, efficient LED downlights. Dimmable, cool-running, IC-4 rated - installed by licensed Sydney electricians with clean, professional cut-outs.
LED LIGHTING · ANNANDALE
LED downlights are the single easiest upgrade you can make to a Sydney home — they cut lighting power by around 90%, run cool enough to sit safely against ceiling insulation (IC-4 rated), and last 15+ years without a bulb change. We supply and install a curated range of quality LEDs — no cheap flickering imports — with matched dimmers, warm or cool colour temperatures, and neat plaster cut-outs that don't need patching.
Most jobs are a straight halogen-to-LED swap: old fittings out, new LEDs wired to the existing circuits, dimmer swapped if the customer wants dimming. Ceiling downlights that used to sit inside a heat cage can now be pushed flush and covered with insulation, so you stop losing heated or cooled air through the ceiling. For larger relights we plan the layout room by room — one 9-10W LED per 1.2-1.5m² of floor space, evenly spaced, 60cm off walls — and can add sensor lighting, exterior lighting and smart controls at the same time.
If you're renovating, adding pendants, or fitting out a kitchen island we handle the design as well as the install. Every job includes cleanup, testing, and a workmanship warranty on the fittings we supply.
HOW THE JOB RUNS
We walk the rooms, count fittings, mark ceiling positions and recommend colour temperature and dimming for each space.
Supply and install per fitting, plus any dimmers, extra circuits or feature lights. No surprises.
We use hole-saws sized to the fitting for a plaster cut you don't need to patch. Old fittings and packaging taken with us.
Every circuit tested, dimmers tuned so there's no buzz or flicker, and we show you how to change a driver if it ever fails.

SYMPTOMS & CAUSES
OUR PROCESS
Same repeatable sequence on every job — no shortcuts, no surprises, no invoices you didn't agree to.
We measure each room, mark ceiling positions and recommend colour temperature and dimming per zone.
We select the exact driver-dimmer combination so there's no buzz, no flicker, and full 5-100% dim range.
We turn off the lighting circuits at the switchboard and confirm dead with a two-pole tester.
Halogens and transformers out, ceiling cavity checked for insulation clearance.
New IC-4 rated LEDs installed with plaster-clean cut-outs, drivers safely secured above the ceiling.
We tune every dimmer, confirm scenes work, and leave you the driver spec sheet for warranty claims.
Typical on-site duration: about 3 hours, depending on access and switchboard condition.
FIXED PRICING
Every job is fixed-priced on site before we touch anything. No hourly meter, no call-out surprise.
LOCAL CONTEXT
Annandale sits in Sydney's Inner West — our vans cover this postcode every day.
COMPLIANCE
Every job includes a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) so your installation is on record with Fair Trading NSW.
Relight jobs are quickest in cooler months when the roof cavity is under 30 °C — we book most whole-home relights between April and September.

Called at 11pm with a tripping switchboard. Electrician arrived within the hour, found the fault and had us back on safely. Honest and professional.
Burning smell from a powerpoint - they took it seriously, came straight out, replaced the circuit and explained everything. Fair fixed price, no upsell.
Lost half the house mid-storm. Empire were the only company that actually answered. Quoted upfront, fixed in one visit. Highly recommend.
Safety switch kept tripping for weeks. Other sparkies just reset it. Empire actually found the faulty appliance and the dodgy wiring behind it.
Burst pipe took out our power. Empire arrived super fast, made it safe and stayed until everything was running again. Lifesavers.
Old switchboard was sparking. They replaced it the same day, all licensed and certified. Cleanest install I've seen.
Power out the entire upstairs at 9pm with a newborn at home. Empire answered, dispatched and fixed it within two hours. So grateful.
Got three quotes for a switchboard upgrade. Empire weren't the cheapest but they were the clearest. Best decision - immaculate workmanship.
Storm tripped half the unit block. Empire turned up Sunday morning, no extra weekend gouge. Just sorted it. Strata are using them from now on.
Called five sparkies before Empire actually picked up. They explained the issue in plain English and gave a fixed price before touching anything.
Switchboard faults, urgent callouts, residential and commercial - handled by the same licensed team.
