KL Servis Rumah designs and installs residential and commercial lighting across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor — from replacing a single LED downlight to complete architectural lighting with cove LED strips, pendant clusters, and smart dimming. Downlight installation starts from RM 120 per point.
Good lighting changes how a space feels: a bright, layered kitchen for cooking, warm dimmed light in a living room, and focused light over a dining table. This guide explains the main lighting types, how to plan a lighting layout, and what professional installation involves.
Types of Lighting We Install
LED downlights
The workhorse of modern Malaysian homes and offices — recessed ceiling lights available in various sizes (typically 3, 4, and 6 inches), colour temperatures, and beam angles.
- Clean, minimal look for living rooms, corridors, and kitchens.
- COB LED options give even, flicker-free light.
- Requires a ceiling void for recessed mounting.
Pendants & chandeliers
Statement fixtures over dining tables, kitchen islands, and entryways.
- Mounted on reinforced hooks with safety cables for heavy fixtures.
- Available in single, cluster, and linear styles.
Cove & strip LED lighting
Hidden LED strips in ceiling troughs or behind panels to create indirect ambient light.
- Mounted in aluminium profiles with diffusers for an even glow.
- Adds depth and a modern feel to living rooms and bedrooms.
Track lighting
Directional spotlights on a track, popular for feature walls, galleries, and retail displays.
Smart lighting & dimming
Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or DALI switches and dimmers that pair with Google Home, Alexa, and other platforms.
- Dimming scenes, schedules, and app control.
- Compatible with brands like Philips Hue and Tuya-based devices.
How to Plan a Lighting Layout
A good layout layers three types of light:
- Ambient light — general illumination from downlights or cove LED, giving the room its base brightness.
- Task light — focused light where you work: under-cabinet strips in the kitchen, a pendant over the island, reading lights beside the sofa.
- Accent light — directional light on artwork, shelves, or a feature wall to add depth.
Practical starting points:
- Living room — mix of downlights on a dimmer plus cove LED for evenings.
- Kitchen — brighter, cooler light over worktops; warm light over dining.
- Bedroom — dimmable warm light with separate reading fixtures.
- Corridors — spaced downlights or a continuous cove strip.
For larger projects, our team can calculate the number and placement of fittings using lux requirements and provide a layout before installation.
What Installation Includes
- Layout planning — positions for each fitting are confirmed, including new ceiling points where needed.
- Wiring — new lighting points are wired from the nearest circuit; existing points are reused where possible.
- Ceiling work — recessed downlights need a clean cut-out; cove LED needs the aluminium profile fixed and the driver concealed.
- Fitting installation — fixtures are mounted securely — pendants and chandeliers get reinforced hooks and safety cables.
- Testing — every fitting is tested, and dimmers or smart controls are paired and demonstrated.
All work is done by ST-registered wiremen and carries a 12-month lighting installation warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install a downlight in Malaysia?
A single LED downlight point starts from RM 120 in KL and Selangor, including the cut-out, wiring, and installation. Doing several at once lowers the per-point cost.
Can existing light points be reused for new fittings?
In most cases yes. Recessed downlights can usually replace a central pendant if the ceiling has a suitable void; otherwise a new point is needed. The installer confirms this during the site check.
What colour temperature should I choose?
Warm white (2700K–3000K) suits bedrooms and living areas; cool white or daylight (4000K–5000K) suits kitchens, bathrooms, and workspaces. Many homes now use adjustable fixtures to switch between the two.
Do you do smart lighting with voice control?
Yes. We install Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and DALI smart switches and dimmers compatible with Google Home, Alexa, and Tuya-based apps, and we set them up before handover.
Can lighting be installed in a condominium?
Yes. We regularly install lighting in condominiums across KL and Selangor, coordinating cut-out work and approval with building management where required.
