When should I consider light fitting replacement?
There are some tell-tale signs which indicate light fittings need to be replaced. I ask clients to look out for visible damage such as cracks in light switches, damage to out light fittings or any exposed circuitry work or cabling which controls the lighting elements.
Alternatively, if you find lights flickering frequently or bulbs blowing more often, there may be an underlying electrical issue which needs to be looked at by a qualified electrician such as myself.
Another reason to consider light fitting replacement is if the fixtures at your Bristol based property are quite outdated. Older lighting fixtures may leave your property at risk of electrical faults such as overheating and fires, in most cases outdated lighting and associated wiring do not comply with modern safety regulations.
What is involved during light fitting replacements?
Once I’ve established the goal you want to achieve through light fitting replacements, I can create a personalised pan displaying the location of any new light fixtures such as spot lights and where you prefer control panels to be installed if opting for smart features.
- During installation, power will need to be turned off to ensure I keep myself and the property safe.
- Any older lighting fixtures and wiring is removed and the new fittings are checked and prepped before being mounted. Having conducted a number of light fitting replacements, I’m very familiar with the brands available on the market and tend to use trusted brands, designed to stand the test of time.
- Wiring is then matched according to the colour of the wires and to terminal blocks.
- Finally, I run a number of tests, in some cases using state of the art testing tools to ensure all light fittings and wiring is safe and functioning correctly.
What are the benefits of light fitting replacement?
