Downlights are one of the easiest and most effective ways to modernise your home — and they’re becoming a must-have feature for Wollongong homeowners who want a clean, bright, and energy-efficient lighting solution. These sleek, recessed lights sit flush with your ceiling to create a smooth, contemporary look while providing even illumination throughout your space. Whether you’re updating a single room or upgrading your entire home, LED downlights can transform the feel of your interiors while reducing your power consumption.
At Curran Plumbing, Electrical, Heating & Air, we’ve been lighting up homes across Wollongong and the Illawarra for over 35 years. Our licensed electricians handle everything from replacing outdated fittings to designing complete lighting layouts for new builds and renovations. We’ll help you choose the perfect downlights for each space — from warm tones that create a cosy atmosphere in bedrooms and living areas to cool, bright light that’s ideal for kitchens, offices, and bathrooms.
Our team only installs high-quality, Australian-compliant LED fittings that meet Electrical Safety and AS/NZS Standards, ensuring every installation is safe, efficient, and long-lasting. With upfront pricing, same-day service, and a 4.9-star reputation built on trust, Curran makes upgrading to LED downlights easy. You’ll enjoy better light, lower power bills, and a stylish finish that instantly adds value to your home.

The right lighting layout makes all the difference. At Curran Plumbing, Electrical, Heating & Air, we don’t just install downlights – we design lighting that enhances your space and complements how you live. Our experienced electricians take into account your ceiling height, room size, furniture placement, and the natural light in your home to determine the ideal spacing and number of downlights. This ensures even illumination, no dark spots, and a comfortable atmosphere in every room.
We can also help you customise your lighting with dimmers, smart controls, and motion sensors. Whether you want warm, soft lighting to relax in the lounge or cool, crisp light for a productive workspace, we’ll recommend the best LED colour temperature and beam angle for each area. With 35+ years serving Wollongong and the Illawarra, our electricians understand how to create lighting layouts that are both functional and beautiful, so your home always looks its best, day or night.



Lighting installation is a job best left to the professionals. In NSW, only licensed electricians can legally install or modify electrical fittings, including downlights. That’s why homeowners throughout Wollongong rely on Curran for safe, compliant, and high-quality installations. Our team checks your existing wiring, ensures fittings are compatible with your ceiling type, and installs IC-rated or fire-rated LED downlights to protect your home against heat and insulation hazards.
We also replace outdated halogen fittings with energy-efficient LED models that stay cool to the touch and dramatically reduce fire risk. Every installation is completed in line with Australian Electrical Standards, and we clean up before we leave. So whether you’re upgrading your kitchen, bathroom, or living areas, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your lighting is installed correctly and safely by qualified professionals.
Modern LED downlights offer more choice and convenience than ever before. At Curran, we only use trusted, high-quality brands known for their longevity, brightness, and energy efficiency. You can choose from fixed downlights for general lighting or adjustable (gimbal) downlights to highlight artwork or architectural features. For outdoor areas or bathrooms, we also install weatherproof and IP-rated models built to withstand moisture and heat.
If you want to take your lighting to the next level, we can connect your downlights to smart systems such as Google Home or Alexa, letting you control brightness and timing with your voice or smartphone. LED technology has advanced rapidly, with fittings lasting up to 50,000 hours, meaning fewer replacements, less waste, and long-term energy savings. Our electricians will walk you through your options so you can make an informed choice that balances performance, style, and budget.
The cost of downlight installation in Wollongong depends on the number of lights, the ceiling type, and whether you’re replacing existing fittings or starting fresh. At Curran, we pride ourselves on upfront, transparent pricing, so you’ll always know the total cost before we begin. We can supply all the materials or install the lights you’ve already purchased. No hidden fees – just clear, honest service.
Switching to LED downlights is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home. They use up to 80% less power than halogens, produce minimal heat, and can save you hundreds on your electricity bills each year. LEDs also require very little maintenance – just the occasional clean to keep them dust-free and bright. And if you ever need support down the track, our friendly electricians are only a phone call away.

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!!!
