mamapanda 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Hi I am urgently looking for a reliable electrician or someone who knows how to install lights to hang up/install 10 lights I bought from Ikea for my new 3 rm bto flat. I am not needing any rewiring or anything as I am hanging them at hdb's original lighting points. Just that simple. But I was quoted $35 for each lighting installation plus an additional $50 transport fee by one electrician I found online. So total adds up to $400.Have I been over quoted??? Is this the market rate just to install one light? $35? I bought 4 small ceiling hanging lights and 6 normal ceiling lights.Please anyone, this is URGENT.P.S If anyone has a reliable cheaper electrician, pls pm me. Greatly appreciated. =( Edited August 20, 2013 by mamapanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mkina 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2013 Hi Mamapanda,It seems what you have is just normal mounting of ceiling lights. I dont think you need any electricians since youre not rewiring or adding additional lighting points. Im sure the lights you bought from Ikea comes with installation instructions which you can do yourself. Maybe you can post pics of the lights and your lighting points so forumers and help you better?
