Lighting installation: how we work

The switching plan comes first

Lighting stands or falls by where the switches are. A hallway you can only switch off downstairs is a daily irritation. We walk through with you which lights should switch together and where you want to control them.

Downlights and LED

We space downlights to match the ceiling height, so you do not end up with pools of light. In a timber or insulated ceiling we use fittings rated for it; that is a fire safety matter, not a detail.

Dimming without buzz

Not every dimmer works with every LED. The wrong combination gives flicker, buzz, or a lamp that will not dim down far enough. We match dimmer to fitting and test the full range.

Outdoor lighting

For garden, driveway and façade we use splash-proof fittings on a dedicated circuit. We set up dusk switches and motion sensors so the light comes on when you want it, not for every passing cat.

Frequently asked questions about lighting installation

Question not answered here? Call or message us and we will think it through with you, free of charge.

How many downlights do I need?

That depends on ceiling height, wall colour and what you do where. We work out a layout in advance, so you are not left with too little or too much light.

Can lighting be installed without chasing walls?

With a suspended ceiling, usually yes. In a plastered wall or ceiling, a channel has to be cut for the cable to the switch.

Do you install smart lighting?

Yes. We lay the wiring so you can extend later, wired where possible and wireless where necessary.

Do you supply the fittings?

We can, but you may buy them yourself. We connect fittings you have bought; the warranty then runs through your own supplier.
