LED Driver Replacement in Singapore
LED driver replacement starts from $80 at SG QuickFix, with the driver charged separately. The driver is the small power unit that runs an LED downlight, panel or strip, and it usually fails before the LEDs do. Replacing just the driver can bring a light back for less than a new fitting, in about 20 to 40 minutes.

Task guide
When this may be needed
- An LED light has stopped working but looks fine.
- The light flickers or flashes.
- The light switches on after a delay.
- An expensive designer fitting has failed.
- LED strip lighting in a cabinet or cove has gone dark.
What the team does
The technician confirms the driver is the cause by testing its input and output. The driver's ratings, current, voltage and power, are matched to the LED module so the light runs at the right brightness without overheating. The old driver is replaced, connected and positioned with ventilation, and the light is tested. If the LEDs themselves are dim or discoloured, a new fitting is recommended instead.
Included in this price
- Testing to confirm the driver has failed
- Matching the new driver's ratings to the LED
- Replacing and connecting the driver
- Testing the light
Limits & price factors
The driver is charged on top of labour. Lights where the LED module has failed, and fittings with sealed drivers that can't be replaced, need a new fitting.
The labour price starts from $80. Drivers in high ceilings, sealed fittings and LED strips with long runs take longer.
FAQs
Often, yes. The LED module usually outlasts its driver. If the LEDs are dim or discoloured, a new fitting is better.
Flickering, flashing, delayed start or a dead light that looks undamaged often point to the driver. Testing confirms it.
No. It must match the LED's current or voltage and power. A mismatched driver can make the light too dim or overheat it.
At SG QuickFix, LED driver replacement starts from $80, plus the driver.
