Light Switch Repair & Replacement
Dimmer Switch Installation in Singapore
Dimmer switch installation starts from $90 at SG QuickFix. An LED-rated dimmer is fitted in place of a standard switch and checked with your lights, so they dim smoothly without flickering or buzzing. Not every LED can be dimmed, so the lights are checked first. Most dimmers take 30 to 45 minutes.

Task guide
When this may be needed
- You want softer light in the living room or bedroom.
- An old dimmer makes LED lights flicker or buzz.
- The lights won't dim below a certain level.
- The dimmer feels hot or has stopped working.
- The lights on a dimmer turn off by themselves at low settings.
What the team does
The technician checks that the lights on the circuit are marked dimmable and estimates their total load, since LED dimmers have minimum and maximum loads. The circuit is isolated, the old switch removed, and the dimmer connected in the right terminals. The dimmer's range is set if it has a trim adjustment, and the lights are tested from fully on to the lowest setting.
Included in this price
- Checking the lights are dimmable and the load

Limits & price factors

FAQs

No. Only LEDs marked dimmable work on a dimmer. Non-dimmable LEDs flicker or fail early when dimmed.
A dimmer may feel slightly warm in normal use. A hot or buzzing dimmer should be checked.
