Lighting design is one of the most popular and exciting electrical projects homeowners can undertake, and people often have specific ideas about how they want their rooms to look. Lighting installation carried out correctly will transform your home, and there is never a better time to do this than following a house rewire or room redecoration.
When planning a lighting project, it is best to consult a qualified electrician. They will know which bulbs (lamps) will be needed to achieve the desired effect, and how many lamps will be required. Lighting installation must be carried out to comply with the current 18th edition amendment 2 regulations, so using a qualified electrician is a worthy investment.
Electricians will also have access to the highest quality and safest lighting available. Please don’t be tempted by cheaper lighting found elsewhere. The results are often disappointing, with inferior light quality and fittings that need replacing regularly.
Interior lighting is generally trouble-free, which is good news. However, outdoor lighting can take more planning to avoid light shining in through neighbouring windows or being triggered by traffic or passing pedestrians, for example. In extreme cases, neighbours have taken each other to court over intrusive lighting. Lights should ideally switch off during the day and contain energy-saving lamps.
