Common Lighting Types We Install
Our team at H. Irwin Electrical handles a wide range of light installation options tailored for Adelaide homes and businesses. We focus on providing solutions that meet practical needs and support the look and feel of your spaces.
LED Downlights
LED downlights are popular in both homes and commercial settings for their low energy use and clean design.
These lights provide clear illumination while staying discreet on the ceiling.
We carefully assess insulation and color temperature to match your space, offering both indoor and weather-resistant outdoor versions.
Pendant Lights
Pendant lights are ideal for kitchens, dining areas, and entryways, offering both task lighting and visual appeal.
We help homeowners select the right style and height, considering materials like glass or metal to complement the existing décor.
Our light installation process ensures pendants are placed for optimal effect. We help you avoid unwanted shadows and make the most of your space.
Outdoor & Security Lights
Outdoor lighting covers everything from pathways and gardens to pool areas and security needs.
Our installations use durable, weather-resistant fixtures designed to last in Adelaide’s diverse conditions.
We also handle security lighting, such as floodlights and motion sensors, and make sure the placement gives you coverage without disturbing your neighbors.
Smart and Automated Lights
Smart lighting and home automation systems allow remote and scheduled control of your lights.
We integrate these systems for easy use through your mobile or smart home setup.
This not only adds convenience but also manages energy use by adjusting brightness and schedules based on when you’re at home or away.
For all light installation needs, our licensed team provides the detail and guidance Adelaide property owners expect. If you’d like help selecting or installing any of these lighting types, reach out, and we’d be happy to talk through your options.
What to Consider Before Installing New Lighting
Installing new lighting in Adelaide isn’t just about choosing a style or fitting. There are strict local and national rules, energy efficiency expectations, and future-proofing demands to weigh up.
Our team at H. Irwin Electrical makes sense of the process and ensures every aspect is handled with precision.
This way, your lighting project meets safety, compliance, and sustainability standards from day one.
Compliance With Lighting Regulations
Lighting installation in Adelaide must follow AS/NZS 3000 rules and be compatible with South Australian regulations.
Projects might also require attention to AS/NZS 4282 for outdoor settings, minimizing glare and environmental impact.
Our licensed electricians manage approvals, let you know about any council-specific restrictions, and deliver installation work that passes every inspection the first time.
Efficient Lighting & Smart Controls
Australian standards now expect new lighting to be energy efficient. These include LED upgrades and Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) as the benchmark.
Our team advises on the best LED solutions, smart sensors, and timers, helping keep running costs down and qualify for any local rebates.
Site Design & Safety Assessment
Each installation has its own safety and placement challenges, underground cabling, overhead clearances, and weatherproofing all come into play.
We begin each job by assessing these details on-site, using layout plans and simulation tools to avoid future problems.
Licensed electricians ensure every component is rated for the conditions. This way, you reduce long-term risks and unnecessary call-outs.
Maintenance and Upgrade Planning
Lighting solutions must last and be easy to upgrade as technology evolves.
H. Irwin Electrical includes lifecycle planning in every installation, advising on fixtures with upgradable controls and components that work with wider smart building systems.
We help you document installations for compliance and make sure it’s easy to run and maintain moving forward.
If you’re planning new lighting in Adelaide, reach out to our team for local knowledge and a straightforward install that ticks every box.
Key Factors That Influence Lighting Installation Costs
Understanding what shapes the cost of light installation makes it easier to plan your project and avoid surprises on the bill.
Our team at H.Irwin Electrical has worked across Adelaide since 2020, handling a range of fixtures and locations, so we know what tends to affect the budget.
Electrician Labour and Fees
Light installation pricing is anchored by labour rates, which in Adelaide generally run from $75 to $105 per hour.
More complex jobs, or work in hard-to-reach places, naturally need extra time and skill. We always clarify the full-service fee at the start, including any minimum call-outs, so you get the total cost upfront.
Complexity of Light Fixture
The style and complexity of your chosen light can shift the price. Standard ceiling lights are usually straightforward, while decorative pendants or custom designs take longer due to tricky mounting or insulating.
Our local team has experience with everything from basic LEDs to bespoke fittings, and we adapt our approach for safe, clean installs every time.
Accessibility & Existing Wiring
Where your lights are being fitted makes a real difference. Tight roof spaces, high ceilings, or older switchboards might mean extra set-up, and sometimes extra team members for safety.
If your Adelaide home has older wires or lacks power where you want your new lights, we’ll handle the necessary upgrades or new circuits as part of our quote.
Compliance and Certifications
South Australia requires licensed electricians to install all new lights, and a Certificate of Compliance must be provided.
If your system isn’t up to code, we’re qualified to carry out the needed work, from RCD upgrades to replacing old wiring, making sure everything is safe and meets the latest standards.

We make sure your lighting suits the space and works reliably from day one.
