Hey just wondering what the average price is for downlights and what brand seem to be the best looking? If anyone could help that would be great. ps im looking for the white circular ones.

low voltage or mains.
Low voltage ones:get the aust made transformers they cost al ittle more but last twice as long
mains:whatever you like

Well cheap ones start at $5 to $8 each with p/s fixed position
good ones are arounf $15 to $35 each with p/s can twist
all depends where u go.

saying that the cheap ones arnt that bad u notice the difference in the mounting of the light in the roof and if the light has swivel or not as well

just looking for low voltage down lights with electronic transformers.

$20.00 from any lighting store,this is with the Australian made transformer and is the swivel type,powdercoated white, hole size about 84mm just installed two the other day

yeah picked up a head of $27ea white downlights with transformers for $13ea at vogue lighting in balcatta. your bound to find a lighting shop with a sale on at any one time so just pop into a few...

With the cheap ones the paint isn't quite as good. It will discolour from the heat. The lights generate a bit of heat.
Generally they good ones are around $25-30
Downlights might look good but are not cheaper to run. eg normal room might have one 60 or 75 watt light globe then you install 4 downlights at 50 watt each equals 200 watts. Remember your power bill is measured by the watts you use.

it is but you are charged by the kwh at 12.5 cents so the difference wont be much + the room im putting them in is dark all the time so needs doing anyway

Sorry for digging up an old thread...

My mate has just had his house built and wants to have some electrical work done.

Wants downlights installed, a couple of GPOs, some wiring of lights etc...

What is the going rate to install downlights and GPOs?? cashie

Thanks for any help..

the best place to get downlights are rexel in myaree or the beacon lighting right next door for 11.95 for white ones or 13.95 for silver ones. in all my time of doing downlights these seem to work very well.

the key to their lifetime is moving all insulation well away from the downlight and the transformer because they produce a crap load of heat.

as for a gpo id say your lookingat between 80-100 dollars per gpo, installed
