Lighting Installation Services in London

Fahri Electricians London installs and upgrades indoor lighting for homes and businesses across London. Work can range from replacing a single fitting or adding a new lighting point to larger room-by-room upgrades involving new fittings, controls and alterations to the existing wiring.

Different spaces need different types of lighting. Living areas and bedrooms may benefit from a combination of general and feature lighting, while kitchens, workspaces and commercial premises often need more focused task lighting alongside good overall illumination.

We can work with existing fittings and layouts or alter the installation where required, including adding lighting points, repositioning fittings and updating switching and controls.

Older halogen and other inefficient lighting can often be replaced with LED alternatives, either by changing suitable lamps or installing new integrated LED fittings.

LED lighting can reduce electricity use substantially compared with halogen lighting and is available in a wide range of brightness levels, colour temperatures and dimmable options. Energy Saving Trust currently advises that LEDs are the most energy-efficient common household lighting option.

See the Energy Saving Trust guidance on energy-efficient lighting for more information.

Lighting can also be used to highlight particular areas or architectural features within a room. This may include wall lights, recessed lighting, LED strips, pendant fittings or other feature lighting positioned to complement the way the space is used.

Where a new fitting requires alterations to the existing electrical installation, we can assess the wiring, switching and mounting requirements and explain what work is needed before installation.

Lighting installations often need to change as a property is renovated, extended or simply used differently. Fahri Electricians London carries out lighting repairs and alterations across London, from replacing individual fittings and switches to moving lighting points and making changes to the existing wiring.

If a fitting has stopped working, lights flicker unexpectedly or a switch or dimmer is faulty, we can investigate the electrical side of the problem and identify what needs attention. Where an existing fitting is being replaced, we can also check whether the mounting position, wiring and switching arrangements are suitable for the new light.

For larger alterations, this may involve adding lighting points, repositioning fittings, changing switching arrangements or adapting the installation around a new room layout, renovation or refurbishment.

Existing lighting can often be improved without redesigning the entire installation. We can replace ceiling lights, pendants, wall lights, switches and dimmers, as well as upgrade suitable older fittings to LED alternatives.

Where a heavier pendant, chandelier or feature fitting is being installed, the mounting arrangement and existing electrical connection may also need to be considered before the new fitting is secured.

Changes to furniture layouts, kitchens, extensions and refurbishments can leave existing lighting in the wrong position or create areas that need additional illumination. We can add new lighting points, reposition existing fittings and alter switching arrangements where the electrical installation allows.

We’ll discuss the intended layout and how the lighting will be used before deciding what electrical alterations are required.

Smart lighting can provide more flexible control over how lights are used throughout a home or business. Fahri Electricians London installs and upgrades smart lighting systems across London, from individual smart switches and dimmers to multi-room lighting controls and automated lighting arrangements.

Depending on the equipment selected, lighting can be controlled through switches, apps, schedules, sensors or compatible voice-control systems. This can make it easier to adjust brightness, create different lighting scenes and automate lights around the way a property is occupied and used.

Smart lighting does not always require a completely new electrical installation. In many properties, existing lighting can be adapted with suitable controls or fittings, although the existing wiring and switching arrangement needs to be considered before deciding which system is appropriate.

Smart lighting can be incorporated into both existing properties and new electrical installations. For retrofit projects, we can assess the existing lighting circuits, switches and wiring to determine what can be upgraded without unnecessary alteration.

For renovations and new builds, lighting controls can be considered earlier in the electrical planning process, making it easier to coordinate switching positions, dimming, sensors and different lighting zones around the intended room layout.

Compatible smart lighting systems can allow lights to be controlled remotely, scheduled to operate at particular times or grouped into scenes for different activities. Motion or occupancy controls can also be used where automatic operation is useful.

The available features depend on the lighting equipment and control system chosen. We can discuss what you want the lighting to do and help determine the electrical installation and controls needed to achieve it.

Kitchen lighting often needs to do several jobs at once. Worktops and food-preparation areas need good task lighting, while ceiling, pendant and feature lighting can provide general illumination and create a different atmosphere when the kitchen is being used for dining or entertaining.

Fahri Electricians London installs and alters kitchen lighting across London, from additional spotlights and under-cabinet lighting to pendant fittings, LED strips and changes to existing switches and lighting points.

Where a kitchen is being refurbished or the layout is changing, we can consider the lighting alongside the electrical alterations required for the new space. This can include repositioning fittings, adding new lighting points and adapting switching or dimming arrangements.

Under-cabinet lighting can provide focused illumination over worktops without relying entirely on the main ceiling lights. Depending on the kitchen layout, this may use LED strips, compact fittings or other suitable task lighting positioned around preparation and working areas.

We can also install or reposition spotlights and downlights where more focused overhead lighting is required.

Pendant lights over kitchen islands, dining tables and breakfast bars can provide both useful illumination and a visual focal point. Feature lighting can also be incorporated around shelving, cabinets or other architectural details where appropriate.

Dimmers and suitable lighting controls can provide additional flexibility, allowing different parts of the kitchen lighting to be used independently or adjusted for different activities.

Spotlights and downlights can provide general, task or feature lighting depending on where they are positioned and how the room is used. Fahri Electricians London installs and alters spotlight lighting across London for kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and other interior spaces.

Work can range from replacing existing downlights with LED alternatives to adding new lighting points or changing the position and number of fittings as part of a refurbishment. We can also install suitable dimmers and switching where required.

Before new recessed fittings are installed, the existing wiring, ceiling construction and available space need to be considered. Where alterations affect the electrical installation or elements of the building that provide fire separation, the relevant electrical and fire-safety requirements also need to be taken into account. Approved Document P covers electrical safety in dwellings in England, while Approved Document B provides the statutory guidance relating to fire safety.

In many flats and apartments, spotlight installation is possible, but the appropriate method depends on the existing ceiling, wiring and the construction of the property.

Where there is suitable ceiling void space, recessed fittings may be an option. Where recessing is not practical, surface-mounted or other low-profile lighting may provide an alternative without unnecessary alteration to the ceiling.

Flats can also have additional considerations around shared structures, leases or building-management requirements. We’ll assess the electrical and physical installation first and explain what is practical before work begins.

Chandeliers and other statement light fittings can require more planning than a standard ceiling light, particularly where the fitting is large, heavy or positioned in a stairwell, entrance hall or other high-level space.

Fahri Electricians London installs chandeliers, pendants and decorative feature lighting across London for homes and commercial properties. We can replace existing fittings, install new lighting at suitable positions and make electrical alterations where the proposed fitting requires changes to the existing wiring or switching.

Before installation, the existing electrical connection and mounting arrangement need to be considered alongside the size and weight of the fitting and the construction of the ceiling. Where additional preparation is required, we’ll explain what needs to be done before the chandelier or feature light is installed.

Larger chandeliers and feature lights need an appropriate fixing arrangement as well as a suitable electrical supply. The existing ceiling rose or mounting point may not always be suitable for the new fitting simply because a light was previously installed there.

We can assess the existing installation and determine what electrical or mounting preparation is required before fitting the new light. Where the position is being changed, additional wiring, switching or alterations to the lighting circuit may also be needed.

Once installed, the electrical connection and operation of the fitting can be tested before the work is completed.

Fahri Electricians London installs and upgrades outdoor lighting for homes and businesses across London. This can include lighting for gardens, driveways, paths, entrances, patios and other external areas where additional visibility, practical illumination or feature lighting is required.

Outdoor lighting needs to be planned around both the way the space is used and the existing electrical installation. The position of fittings, cable routes, switching, controls and suitability of the equipment for external use all need to be considered before installation.

We can install new outdoor lighting points, replace existing exterior fittings and alter lighting arrangements as part of landscaping, refurbishment or other property improvements. Suitable timers, sensors and lighting controls can also be incorporated where required.

Lighting around entrances, driveways and pathways can improve visibility when approaching or moving around a property after dark. Depending on the layout, this may include wall-mounted lights, bollards, low-level fittings, floodlights or other suitable exterior lighting.

Motion sensors, timers or other controls can also be used where automatic operation is useful, for example around entrances, side access or parking areas.

Outdoor lighting can also be used to highlight planting, pathways, patios, architectural features and other parts of a garden or exterior space.

The most appropriate arrangement will depend on what needs to be illuminated, where power can be supplied and how visible you want the fittings themselves to be. We can discuss the intended effect and install suitable lighting points and controls around the layout of the property.
