LIGHTING FOR YOUR HOME

An important part of making your house a home is the lighting. You may prefer central light pendants in a room or side and standing lamps carefully placed for the best effect. In a new build or extension, you can decide where to put the light sockets and plugs. But in an established property and to get the best lighting effect, you may want to move or add to your sockets.

As qualified electricians, you can discuss what you need with us and review your options. We can then carry out the installation. Ensuring it’s completed following the relevant safety regulations to keep you and your household safe.

Energy-efficient lighting

CFL bulbs have been used widely as an energy-efficient alternative to standard blubs. These are four times more efficient and will provide you with energy savings. But CFL bulbs have historically been slow to brighten when switched on which many homeowners dislike. A situation that has been improved with an updated and wider range of bulbs now available.

As an alternative, LED lights are the most energy-efficient bulbs you can have in your home. They last for many years and consume up to 90% less energy than a standard light bulb. These bulbs tend to be more expensive but over a longer period will save you money and energy.

Energy-efficient bulbs are measured in lumens rather than the more traditional ‘watts’. You can expect the same brightness but with less energy usage. As part of the installation, we can advise you on the best products you need to achieve the lighting effect you want.
