Downlights are one of the most popular ways to modernise and brighten homes across Shellharbour, and for good reason. Sleek, energy-efficient, and versatile, they sit neatly in your ceiling to create clean lines and even illumination throughout your space. Whether you’re renovating your kitchen, updating your living areas, or adding a touch of sophistication to your outdoor entertaining area, LED downlights provide the perfect balance of style and practicality.
At Curran Plumbing, Electrical, Heating & Air, our licensed electricians have been installing downlights and designing lighting solutions for over 35 years. We take the time to plan your lighting layout properly, spacing each downlight to achieve the right brightness, coverage, and mood for every room. From warm ambient tones in bedrooms to cool white lighting in workspaces, we’ll help you select the right colour temperature and fittings to suit your home’s look and function.
Because lighting safety is just as important as design, our team ensures every downlight installation meets Australian Electrical Standards. We use only high-quality, IC-rated fittings suitable for insulated ceilings and can include dimmers, smart controls, and energy-efficient LED options to help you save on running costs. With our award-winning, family-owned service and same-day availability, you can trust Curran to install downlights that not only look great but perform safely and efficiently for years to come.

Getting your lighting layout right can completely transform the atmosphere of your home. At Curran Plumbing, Electrical, Heating & Air, our experienced electricians don’t just install downlights – we help you design the perfect lighting plan for every room. We’ll consider your ceiling height, room size, furniture placement, and natural light to determine exactly how many downlights you need and where they should be placed. The result? A beautifully balanced look with no dark corners or glare.
We can also customise your lighting setup with dimmers, motion sensors, and smart home controls, giving you flexibility to adjust brightness and mood with ease. Whether you prefer warm lighting for cosy living spaces or cool daylight tones for bathrooms and kitchens, we’ll help you choose the right LED temperature and beam angle to suit your lifestyle. Our team has fitted thousands of homes across Shellharbour and the Illawarra, so we know how to deliver lighting that looks great and performs even better.



Lighting upgrades may seem simple, but safe electrical installation is essential. In NSW, only licensed electricians can legally install downlights, and for good reason. Poor wiring or non-compliant fittings can pose serious fire and safety risks, especially in ceilings with insulation. When you call Curran, you’ll have the confidence of knowing that every fitting, transformer, and connection is handled by a qualified, insured professional who meets Australian Electrical Standards.
We use IC-rated downlights that can be safely installed near insulation, along with fire-rated fittings when required, to ensure complete protection. Our electricians will inspect your existing wiring, check for damaged cables, and replace old halogens with low-heat, energy-efficient LED systems. Whether it’s a single room or a full-house lighting upgrade, our installations are done neatly, safely, and with minimal disruption to your home.
Modern downlights have come a long way, and at Curran, we make sure you have access to the latest, most reliable options. We supply and install fixed or adjustable (gimbal) downlights, as well as smart LED systems that integrate with Google Home, Alexa, or app-based controls. Our team only uses trusted Australian brands that meet energy efficiency standards, ensuring your lights are built to last – often up to 50,000 hours of use.
If you’re upgrading from halogens, we can recommend LED replacements that match your current fittings or supply new designs to suit your décor. We can also install bathroom-rated downlights, outdoor weatherproof models, and fire-rated fittings for added safety. Whatever your style or budget, we’ll help you choose lighting that delivers the right look and performance while saving energy year after year.
When it comes to downlight installation in Shellharbour, the cost depends on how many fittings you need, the type of lights you choose, and the complexity of your ceiling layout. At Curran, we believe in upfront, transparent pricing; you’ll always know the cost before we start, with no hidden extras. We can supply and install new downlights or simply fit the ones you’ve already purchased.
Switching to LED downlights is one of the best ways to reduce your power bills. LED technology uses up to 80% less energy than halogen lighting and lasts years longer, so you’ll save on both electricity and maintenance. Our team can also help you access energy-efficient lighting upgrades that meet Australian standards and comply with modern home safety codes. Once installed, your downlights require almost no maintenance, just an occasional clean to keep them looking their best.

Benny Oldfield2024-09-16 These guys are the business. They are professional and cheap and does not charge anything if they don't do anything (or if you do not want them to do anything when you get your problem explained). They are also extremely friendly. I cannot recommend them enough. I needed a blocked drain fixed and they did that for $93 (in about 1 1/2 hours with no callout fee). They are going to send someone around with a camera tomorrow (no charge) to find the actual problem with the drain. It will be up to me if I then need/want them to do anything else. Holly McEvoy2024-09-12 Sarah our aircon technician was AMAZING, so kind and professional! I will be using Curran for all of our home needs the team are so helpful and speedy!

Had an old leaky electric hot water heater, they were able to come out that morning to get rid of the old unit and provide us with a new model the next business day. Very transparent with all the options and gave expert advice to help us decide. Rob Paton2024-09-02 I engaged Curran plumbing services for a blocked drain and it was the most professional trade experience I’ve ever received. Absolute first class service from Nathan the plumber assigned to my job. Highly recommend. Rachael Peedom2024-08-29 Exceptional customer service. Outstanding knowledge. 100% commitment on finding a solution for the customer. sumguy762024-08-27 After our hot water stopped working, I called Curran Plumbing who organised a plumber to come out the same day and assess our problem. Within 1/2hr of reviewing the issue, Jake diagnosed the problem and gave us a thorough explanation of the issue and what we could do get the hot water back up and running. He was friendly, professional, thorough and quick. 5 star service and quality…thanks again!!!
