Local internal lighting experts

What is internal lighting?

Internal lighting refers to the various types of lighting fixtures and installations used within a home to enhance visibility, create ambiance, and highlight architectural features. This includes ceiling lights, wall lights, floor lamps, and more. Effective internal lighting design combines functionality with aesthetics, ensuring that each room is well-lit and visually appealing. A lighting expert can help you choose the right fixtures, plan the layout, and install the lights to achieve the desired effect in your home.

Cost of internal lighting

The cost of internal lighting can vary widely based on several factors, including the type and number of fixtures, the complexity of the installation, and the quality of the materials used. Here are some general cost estimates:

  • Basic Fixtures: £20 to £50 per fixture.
  • Mid-Range Fixtures: £50 to £150 per fixture.
  • High-End Fixtures: £150 to £500 or more per fixture.
  • Installation Costs: £30 to £100 per hour, depending on the electrician’s rates and the complexity of the job.

For a more accurate estimate, it’s best to get quotes from local lighting experts on Rated People.

How long does it take to install internal lighting?

The time required to install internal lighting can vary depending on several factors, including the number of fixtures, the complexity of the installation, and the condition of the existing electrical system. Here’s a detailed look at the factors that influence the installation time and some typical timelines for different types of projects.

  • Simple Replacements: Replacing an existing light fixture with a new one in the same location is typically straightforward. This process usually takes about 1 to 2 hours per fixture, depending on the type of light and the ease of access.
  • New Fixture Installations: Installing a new fixture in a location that already has electrical wiring (e.g., swapping a ceiling light for a chandelier) generally takes about 2 to 4 hours. This includes removing the old fixture, installing the new one, and testing the system.
  • Recessed Lighting: Installing recessed lighting (also known as can lights or downlights) involves cutting holes in the ceiling, running new wiring, and connecting each light. This can take 4 to 6 hours for a single room, depending on the number of lights and the condition of the existing electrical system.
  • Adding New Wiring: If new wiring needs to be run through walls or ceilings, this can add significant time to the project. Installing new wiring for multiple fixtures can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day, depending on the complexity of the work.
  • Smart Lighting Systems: Setting up smart lighting systems that are controlled via smartphone apps or home automation systems can take additional time. This may involve installing smart switches, hubs, and configuring the system. Expect this to add an extra 2 to 4 hours to the project.
  • Custom or High-End Installations: Custom lighting installations, such as designer chandeliers or integrated lighting systems, may take longer due to their complexity and the need for precise placement and support. These projects can take a full day or more, depending on the specifics.

Other internal lighting FAQs

What types of internal wall lights are available?

Internal wall lights come in various styles, including sconces, flush mounts, and picture lights. Each type offers different lighting effects and can be chosen to complement your home’s decor.

Do I need an electrician to install internal lighting?

While some simple installations can be done by a homeowner, it’s generally recommended to hire a licensed electrician for any electrical work to ensure safety and compliance with building codes.

How can I improve the energy efficiency of my internal lighting?

Consider using LED bulbs, installing dimmer switches, and choosing fixtures with energy-efficient designs to reduce energy consumption and lower your utility bills.

Phil was a very honest, pleasant and likeable guy. I explained my requirements but he suggested an alternative that does not require the services of an electrician. He effectively talked himself out of a job this time, but I will certainly keep his details for any future electrical work that I require.
