LED downlight replacement pricing
LED downlight replacement is usually priced per light, but the final price depends on access, the existing fittings, dimmers, wiring condition, and how many lights are being replaced.
Larger upgrades are usually more cost-effective per light, as setup and travel time are spread across the job.
As a rough guide, most Christchurch homes fall somewhere around $90–$140 + GST per light, depending on the fittings used and the condition of the existing wiring.
For a clearer price, send through the rough number of lights you want replaced and a quick note about the current fittings.
