LED Light Installations Copper Coast
Yorke Peninsula's Most Trusted LED Light Installation Service
Proper lighting can make a huge difference in your home or business space.
Being able to light things up for better visibility is important when designing a home layout. But not all homes come built with downlighting, or ceiling lights. Instead, they leave it up to the home owner to distribute table lamps and use natural window light to get the intended effect – and it’s never a bright idea.
Adding LED downlights is an eco-friendly and affordable way to bring your lighting up a notch for the perfect illumination solution. Best of all, you don’t have to worry about making things too bright since these can often be coupled with specialised dimmer switches (and even mobile apps) that give you complete control over the level of lighting in your space.
Lamshed Electrical is a premier provider and installer of LED downlights across the Copper Coast and the surrounds. We’ve been helping homeowners light things up for over 10 years using over 40 years of combined experience to get things just right for their spaces.

The (many) benefits of LED downlights
LED lights work differently than most traditional lightbulbs. Instead of burning a filament, like in an incandescent bulb, LEDs pass an electrical current through a microchip which then lights up the Light Emitting Diodes, or LEDs, inside it.
The benefits to this kind of lighting are manyfold, first of which is their longevity. Since you aren’t burning a filament or a gas inside, LEDs last much, much longer than other forms of lighting. In fact, they can last up to 25 times longer while producing light 90% more efficiently. And while they’ll be out of the way on your ceiling, you don’t have to worry about them getting hot to the touch, either.
In addition, LED lights:
LED lights also come in a wide range of temperatures, measured on the Kelvini Scale. With a range from 2700K to 6500K, warmer light colours are at the low end of the scale, while brighter and whiter looking light comes at the top end of the scale. So not only can you get energy savings and a sleek looking fixture, but you can also control the type of light that is emitted in your space.
Are LED downlights difficult to install?
They aren’t difficult for our trained professional electricians, though the DIY route is dangerous and potentially expensive. First comes the measuring, where your electrician will map out on the ceiling the exact placement of the lights based on even spacing, overhead lighting needs, and seating areas. From there, they can mark where to cut into the sheetrock to install the fixtures.
For a series of downlights, the electrician will wire them in such a way that you can control them from the same light switch for a seamless experience. For LED downlights, the lights themselves are built into the fixture, making the installation straightforward without the need for extra bulbs.
Depending on how high your ceiling is and how accessible the space above it is, which adds to the complexity, it can take between 30 minutes to up to 2 hours per light to install. For a typical room that requires six lights installed for adequate lighting, you are looking at an average of 3-5 hours for the entire project once things are underway and measured out.
The cost of installing LED downlights in your Copper Coast home
How much a project like this costs will be a factor of how many lights you are having installed.
A typical living space will require six LED downlights to brighten the space properly, but this can vary depending on layout and personal preference. A single LED downlight can cost between $50-$200 depending on how large the fixtures are, while dimmable fixtures may be a bit pricier.
Then there are the costs of the actual installation and labour for the electrician. Some will provide packages on the parts and labour if you purchase both from the same vendor (as opposed to buying your own lighting). Note that Lamshed Electrical will supply a quote specific to your project requirements before we start.
