New light fittings in Sydney almost always mean calling a licensed electrician, not a handyman, since most jobs touch the switchboard or circuit wiring. Lighting installers in Sydney on this page have logged more than 1,500 Google reviews between them, and every single one sits at 4.8 stars or higher, so the real decision comes down to the kind of lighting job you actually have.

Short answer: The Local Electrician Sydney leads on review volume with 480 reviews at 4.9 stars, offering same-day light installation across Sydney. Lightning Electrical Group and High Demand Electrical both hold a perfect 5.0 rating across hundreds of reviews. If your project is outdoor festoon or fairy lighting rather than fixtures, Festoon House (4.9, 238 reviews) is the specialist to call instead.

How we score

Every number here comes from public Google data pulled on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is each company’s live Google star average. Review volume ranks how many customers have rated them against the other lighting installers on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating built on hundreds of reviews carries more weight than one built on a smaller base. Recency tracks how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does lighting installation cost in Sydney?

Cost depends on the type of job: a single fixture swap is far cheaper than a switchboard-linked chandelier install or a full-home lighting overhaul. None of the businesses on this page publish a fixed public rate card for lighting work specifically, so get an itemized quote before booking.

Serving Sydney and surrounds

The lighting installers above cover metro Sydney, including the Northern Beaches, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West and South Sydney, with several offering citywide or Australia-wide reach. Searching for lighting installers near me? Every listing shows a live phone number so you can call the closest option directly.

What to ask before you hire a lighting installer

  • Are you a licensed Level 2 electrician if the job touches the switchboard or mains?
  • Is the quote fixed-price or hourly, and does it include removal of old fittings?
  • What warranty applies to the materials and the labour?
  • Can you handle same-day or emergency callouts if something goes wrong?
  • Do you supply the fixtures, or do I need to purchase them separately?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these lighting installers?

We started from every lighting installer and electrician in Sydney with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do I need a Level 2 electrician for a light installation?

Most indoor fixture and chandelier installations only need a standard licensed electrician, but anything touching the network connection, switchboard or metering typically needs a Level 2 ASP-accredited electrician.

Can I install outdoor festoon lighting myself?

Festoon House sells festoon, fairy and solar lighting designed for DIY setup with smart plugs, but any hardwired outdoor lighting connected to your home’s circuit should go through a licensed electrician.

The bottom line

The Local Electrician Sydney is the safest default for most fixture and chandelier jobs given its review volume and stated same-day service, while Festoon House is the specific call for outdoor festoon or fairy lighting. Confirm licensing and get a fixed quote before the work starts.
