Everything below is what an honest, NAPIT-approved contractor will actually do for you, not what a marketing agency thinks sounds good on a website. What it covers Lighting work covers layout design, circuit design, fitting selection, control (dimming, scenes, smart control), installation, testing and certification. That includes interior downlights and pendants, feature and accent lighting, extractor and combined light/extractor units, kitchen under-cabinet lighting, garden and driveway lighting, security lighting with PIR, and commercial lighting including emergency lighting to BS 5266. Who it's for Homeowners renovating; landlords upgrading tired fittings between tenants; developers speccing lighting on new builds and extensions; commercial clients doing full lighting refits or emergency lighting installations; hospitality and retail operators wanting the space to actually feel right when the lights are on. When you need it During any renovation or extension (when access is easy and cheap), when you're refitting a kitchen or bathroom, when your existing lighting is throwing shadows everywhere and running hot halogens you can no longer buy replacements for, or when a commercial premises needs an emergency lighting install to satisfy a fire risk assessment. Why professional matters Bad lighting isn't just aesthetically weak, it's tiring, it hides trip hazards, and old halogen or filament fittings are running hot in ceiling voids where they shouldn't be. Modern LED lighting cuts running cost by 80–90% and cuts fire risk substantially, but only if the fittings are the right IP rating and the circuit design actually works. What Happens If You Leave It ## The cost of putting it off. Every one of these is something we see weekly. None of them get better on their own. ### DIY downlights are a fire risk in insulated ceilings Cheap non-fire-rated downlights sitting in insulated loft voids run hot and are the single most common cause of loft-void ignitions in domestic property. ### Wrong IP rating in bathrooms = shock risk Bathroom zones (0, 1, 2) require specific IP ratings. Getting this wrong is a genuine shock risk and always flagged on any EICR. ### Commercial premises without compliant emergency lighting BS 5266 requires functional emergency lighting with documented testing. A missing or failed emergency lighting system is a fire risk assessment finding waiting to happen. ### Under-designed lighting = doing it twice A kitchen or extension lit off the wrong circuit design ends up patched with plug-in floor lamps six months later. Do the design once, properly. Our Process ## How the job actually runs, start to finish. 1. Step 1 ### Site visit & scope We visit the space, discuss how you actually use it, and agree the lighting brief, task lighting, ambient, accent, controls. 2. Step 2 ### Layout & fitting selection We plan positions, control zones and switch layout. Fittings sourced to your preference and budget (or we recommend from experience). 3. Step 3 ### First fix (if new build / renovation) Wiring, back boxes, switch drops and control cabling run before plaster. 4. Step 4 ### Fit, commission & test Fittings installed, controls commissioned (dimming, scenes, smart if specified), full electrical testing carried out. 5. Step 5 ### Certify & hand over Minor Works or Electrical Installation Certificate issued, walk-through of controls before we leave. Benefits ## Why customers stick with us. ### Fire-rated downlights as standard IP-rated where needed, fire-rated where installed in ceiling voids, no compromise on cheap fittings. ### Proper circuit and control design Task, ambient and accent on separate control where it makes sense, not everything on one switch. ### Compatible dimming and smart control LED-compatible dimmers matched to fittings so you never get the flicker-and-buzz issue that plagues half of DIY LED retrofits. ### Commercial emergency lighting to BS 5266 Installed, tested and log-booked for your fire file. ### One trade, one certification Design through to certified install by the same NAPIT-approved contractor. ### Clean install and finish Chased and made good properly. Ceilings that don't look like a dot-to-dot puzzle. In Detail ## Everything else worth knowing. The specific materials, methods and situations that make this job go well, or badly, depending on who's doing it. [Request A Free Estimate](/contact) ### Interior lighting, layered design Good interior lighting layers three things: ambient (general room light), task (over worktops, desks, mirrors) and accent (feature lighting on architecture, art, feature walls). Getting all three on the same switch is the number one mistake we're called out to fix. We design separate control zones from the outset, normally on smart dimmers or scene-controllable switches, so a kitchen can be full-bright at 6pm and low ambient by 10pm without you touching a lamp. ### Exterior, security & driveway lighting Exterior fittings must be correctly IP-rated (IP44 minimum for exposed installs, IP65+ for direct weather). PIR-controlled security lighting for drives and rear gardens, low-voltage garden feature lighting for planted areas and paths, and dusk-till-dawn wall lights for entrances. Every exterior circuit is RCBO-protected and tested to BS 7671 outdoor requirements. ### Commercial and emergency lighting Commercial lighting covers office LED refits (lux-calculated for workspaces), retail feature lighting, hospitality mood lighting with DALI or scene control, and BS 5266 emergency lighting. Emergency lighting is installed on maintained or non-maintained fittings depending on the space, with 3-hour battery duration, monthly function tests and annual full-duration tests, all documented in the site's fire log book. ### Residential vs commercial, where it differs Residential lighting design is about how the space feels and functions across the day. Commercial lighting is about lux levels for the task (offices ~500 lux, retail higher on displays), compliance (emergency lighting, escape routes), and running cost across a large fit-out. Fittings are typically higher-output, controls are DALI or DALI-2 rather than domestic dimmers, and every install includes lux verification against the design brief.
