Downlight Replacement in Singapore
Downlight replacement starts from $60 at SG QuickFix. Failed, flickering or yellowed LED downlights in false ceilings are replaced with new fittings sized to the existing cut-out, so the ceiling doesn't need patching. Each downlight takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and a room of downlights is usually done in one visit.

Task guide
When this may be needed
- One or more downlights have stopped working.
- A downlight flickers or flashes.
- The downlights have yellowed or dimmed.
- The colour of new and old downlights doesn't match.
- The spring clips no longer hold the downlight in the ceiling.
What the team does
The technician measures the existing cut-out, since downlights must match the hole size. The circuit is isolated, the old downlight pulled down on its clips, and its driver disconnected. The new downlight and driver are connected, the driver placed above the ceiling, and the light pushed back into the cut-out. It is tested, and the colour temperature checked against the other lights in the room.
