Additional Lighting Installation

Things to consider

We will need to install additional electrical cables in order to reach the new lighting positions. The routes for installing cables can vary with different properties. We have to abide by the wiring regulations to ensure that cables are installed safely and in the correct zones where they are to be buried. 

Have a think about suitability

Do you need one extra light or is it really two? When having new lights installed in your home, will one addition light actually be sufficient or is it best to reconsider and get the job done right first time? Would spotlights be better than simple pendants? What about under counter lights in the kitchen and hidden lighting in the bathroom?

Commercial lighting solutions

If you require additional lights in your commercial premises make sure to take into account just how much light you will need along with the intensity of the light. For example, staff working in an office will become fatigued by light that is too white, too bright, and too intense! It’s best to spread the light out and carefully consider how it will affect workplace productivity and output. 

Now is the time

If you additional lighting means some disruption to the furnishings in your home or the operation of your business premises then have a think about any other work that may need to be done at the same time, now or in the future. 

If floorboards have to be lifted or an office space shut down then it’s wise to have other cables installed for future planned projects to save the same disruption twice, even if those projects will not be going ahead for some time. 

Turning things on

Consider how you wish the lights to be controlled. Is the existing switch sufficient for the lights that you are having installed? Do you wish to be able to control the lights from another switch somewhere else or even from an app on your phone? These days almost anything is possible when it comes to lighting installations and we are happy to help with solutions to any problems that you may have. 

Perhaps you would like additional lights but also the ability to dim them where required? We will need to know if you plan to dim your lighting installation to ensure that the dimmer and the lighting are both compatible. This will minimise future problems like flickering lights and overloading switches. 

Can your existing electrical system handle the extra load?

Not so much of a problem in your typical home but where commercial customer in Norwich needs additional lighting, we have to consider if the existing light circuit is up to the task of powering more light fittings.
