Layout matters just as much as the globe. Good spacing, the right beam angle and a sensible colour temperature make a room feel even rather than spotty.
Newtown's terraces, apartments and King Street shopfronts each bring their own electrical challenges. Newtown has postcode 2042. Ausgrid runs the electricity network in Newtown. We also work in nearby Enmore, Erskineville, Camperdown, Stanmore and St Peters.
Terrace ceilings can be high in the front rooms and lower in the rear extensions, so fitting choice and spacing often change from room to room.
In shops and offices, lighting levels and colour matter for the work being done. LED fittings also reduce running costs and failed globes.
IC-rated fittings keep the insulation working.
The best time to plan lighting is before the ceiling is finished.
LED fittings need a compatible dimmer.
When you call 0421 772 661, we talk through the job, give you a written quote, do the work to AS/NZS 3000 and test it before we leave. The full process is on our downlight installation page. Nearby suburbs with their own page for this service: Petersham (2.3 km between suburb centres), Marrickville (2.5 km between suburb centres), Leichhardt (2.5 km between suburb centres).
Where lighting circuits are added or altered, they need RCD protection, and we tell you if your switchboard needs attention first.
Newtown's housing, by the numbers: 5% separate houses, 52% semi-detached, row or terrace homes and 39.8% flats or apartments among occupied dwellings, with 57.6% of homes rented (2021 Census, 14,690 residents). (Source: ABS 2021 Census QuickStats, Newtown.)
Downlights that sit under or near ceiling insulation need the right insulation-contact rating, and fixed lighting can only be installed by a licensed electrician in NSW.
From our guides: LED Downlight Buying Guide: Colour, Brightness, Ratings and Dimmers. How to choose LED downlights: colour temperature, lumens, beam angle, IC-4 insulation ratings, dimmer compatibility and what to ask your electrician.

It depends on the room size, ceiling height and the fitting. We plan the layout so light is even, rather than using a set number.
IC-rated downlights can be covered by ceiling insulation. Non-IC fittings need clearance around them, which leaves gaps in the insulation.
