New lighting can make the difference between a dull, drab room and a fantastic appealing space that is relaxing to be around. Good quality lighting installed professionally can make the difference to a decoration scheme and the finishing touches to any room.
Lighting Electrician in Bicester
As your local ELECTRICIAN IN BICESTER, we regularly install new light fittings to finish off decoration schemes for that ‘’show home’ feel.
Ceiling Lights
Whilst not many of us will use the ceiling lights on a full-time basis and instead opt for table lamps, they are an important part of the aesthetic in any room. A stylish light fitting installed on the ceiling can really have a dramatic effect on the overall finish of a room.
Can any light be installed?
With modern light fittings, the manufacturers sometimes expect there to be modern wiring to match and unless your home has been recently rewired or is brand new, there are often electrical issues to overcome with the installation of brand-new electrical fittings.
With older wiring systems, it is sometimes necessary to make a safe maintenance free junction in the ceiling in order to properly accommodate the wiring that the light fitting wants.
None of this is a problem for us at Inlight Electrical as we have carried out countless beautiful lighting installations in all properties.
All my lights are plastic, can I have metal ones?
Where all the lights are plastic in a property there may be a problem with the earth connections to the lighting circuit. Metal lights often require an earth connection for safety and to prevent electrical shocks occurring.
The only way to check that there is a usable earth connection for installing metal lights is to get an electrician to test. Some older wiring (pre-1970) did not have any earth wires for the lights and as such, it would not be safe to install metal lights.
Don’t worry though, we have you covered. As professional electricians, we have the right test equipment and knowledge to check that your new lighting installation can go ahead safely. Using our services will give you peace of mind that the job is being done right.
Wall lights
Wall lights are very popular as mood lighting in living and dining rooms. Many properties have ceiling lights that are simply too bright, cast the wrong type of light or don’t accent the right areas and are only suitable for general use.
Wall lights can accent features in your home, items of furniture and little nooks and crannies that would otherwise remain dark and unlit.
If you have wall lights that you want installed then get in touch. We can fit new wall lights where no existing lights were present if you would like them. We can also replace existing wall lights with new fittings of your choosing.
Replacing Spot Lights
Spot lights are a timeless classic it seems. Kitchens and bathrooms are the most popular areas for the installation of these lights and they cast a great bright light across a wide area so why not?
We can replace existing spotlights for modern LED long lasting fittings that are not only brighter than older types but will use less electricity.
New Spot Light Installations
Where you have no existing spotlights, we are able to carry out a design and installation for you in any room.
There are some considerations that need to be worked out during design such as:
- Sufficient lighting levels
- Casting of shadows (particularly in kitchens)
- Spacing of lights and timber joists
We can assist you with all of this during the process so don’t worry. New spotlights are a worthwhile addition to any home and can add value along with improving the day-to-day tasks that you need to carry out.
