The Service
What Is Indoor Lighting Installation?
Indoor lighting installation covers fitting ceiling lights, pendants, downlights, wall lights, track lighting and feature lighting — from a single replacement fitting to a whole-room lighting scheme.
Recessed downlights, in particular, need fire-rated, insulation-rated fittings installed correctly to protect the ceiling and prevent overheating. All lighting must be on a suitable, RCD-protected circuit.

- Installation of ceiling roses, downlights, wall lights or track
- Fire-rated fittings where recessed downlights are used
- Connection to a suitable, RCD-protected circuit and testing
Why It Matters
Why Professional Electrical Work Matters
Recessed downlights cut a hole in the ceiling's fire barrier. Fire-rated fittings restore that protection and, when insulation-rated, prevent the overheating that has caused many downlight fires.
Correctly rated and RCD-protected lighting is safer and more reliable. In kitchens and bathrooms, the right IP-rated fittings are required by the wiring regulations.
Costs & Pricing
Costs & What Affects Pricing
Pricing for electrical work depends on the job. Here are the factors that typically affect the cost of this service.
- The number and type of fittings
- Whether new cable runs are needed
- Whether fire-rated downlights are used
- Access (ceiling voids, existing wiring)
- Whether dimming or smart control is included
Single fitting swaps are quick; new downlight layouts with several fittings cost more. Tell us about the room and we can help you understand the work.
