Installation of lighting

Brighten your space with safe, well planned lighting

Great lighting changes how a home or workplace feels, looks, and functions. Whether you are replacing a single fitting or redesigning a full property, the right installation makes a noticeable difference in comfort, safety, and energy use. We install lighting for residential and commercial clients, helping you choose practical options and fitting them to a high standard with tidy workmanship.

Our team handles everything from new ceiling lights and wall lights to outdoor fixtures and feature lighting. We focus on safe connections, correct load calculations, and clean finishes so your lighting works reliably from day one. If you are also planning broader upgrades, we can coordinate your lighting with other electrical installation services to keep the project efficient.

What we install and where it works best

Lighting is not one size fits all. We help you match brightness, beam angle, color temperature, and placement to the way you use each room or area. From subtle ambient light to task focused illumination, we install fittings that support everyday life and highlight key design features.

  • Indoor lighting including ceiling pendants, chandeliers, flush mounts, track systems, recessed downlights, wall sconces, and under cabinet strips.
  • Bathroom and kitchen lighting with appropriate moisture rated fixtures and careful positioning for mirrors, worktops, and splash zones.
  • Outdoor lighting such as porch lights, garden spikes, pathway lighting, security floodlights, and weather rated wall fittings.
  • Feature and accent lighting to showcase art, architectural details, shelving, or hospitality style mood lighting.
  • Smart and energy efficient upgrades including LED conversions, dimmers, motion sensors, timers, and connected controls.

We can also advise on glare reduction, shadow control, and using layered lighting so spaces feel welcoming while still being practical. If you are unsure what would work, we can suggest options that suit your budget and the existing wiring layout.

Our process from planning to final testing

A reliable lighting setup starts with good preparation. We begin by discussing what you want to achieve, then assess the current wiring, circuit capacity, and switch locations. For new fittings, we confirm ceiling and wall structures, safe mounting points, and cable routes before any work begins.

Step by step approach

  1. Site check and recommendations to confirm feasibility, identify any issues, and agree the best placement and fitting type.
  2. Safety first isolation with power shut off and verified before we touch wiring or connections.
  3. Installation and mounting including secure fixing, correct cable protection, and neat alignment.
  4. Wiring and controls such as new switches, dimmers, two way switching, sensors, or smart controls where requested.
  5. Testing and verification to ensure correct operation, polarity, earthing, and safe performance under load.
  6. Clean finish with careful sealing where needed and a tidy work area when we leave.

If your project involves more than lighting, we can coordinate with other professional electrical services so your circuits, protection devices, and controls all work together safely.

Common upgrades and problem solving

Many clients call us after noticing flickering lights, warm switch plates, buzzing dimmers, or frequent bulb failures. These symptoms can point to loose connections, incorrect dimmer compatibility, overloaded circuits, or aging wiring. We identify the cause and recommend a practical fix, whether that means reterminating connections, upgrading fittings, or adjusting the circuit design.

  • LED upgrades for lower running costs and longer life, including compatible dimmers where required.
  • Replacing outdated fittings to improve light quality and modernize the look of a room.
  • Adding new light points for extensions, renovations, home offices, and open plan layouts.
  • Improving exterior safety with motion activated security lighting and better entryway illumination.
  • Balancing light levels by adjusting placement, beam angles, and control zones.

We also help prevent nuisance tripping by checking load distribution and ensuring the correct protective devices are in place. When needed, we can advise on electrical upgrades that support additional lighting without compromising safety.

FAQ

Can you install new lights where there is no existing fitting?

Yes, we can add new light points by running the required wiring and fitting the correct switch or control. We will assess access, circuit capacity, and the best cable route before starting. After installation, everything is tested to confirm safe operation.

Do I need special dimmers for LED lights?

Often yes, because many older dimmers are not compatible with LED drivers and can cause flicker or buzzing. We can recommend and install the correct dimmer based on your fittings and bulb type. This helps ensure smooth dimming and longer component life.

What outdoor lights are best for security?

Motion activated LED floodlights are a popular choice because they provide bright light only when needed and reduce energy use. We also recommend weather rated fixtures and correct positioning to cover entry points without glare into windows. We can adjust angles and sensor settings during installation for reliable detection.
