Lighting contractor in Accrington

We are a lighting contractor in Accrington fitting indoor and outdoor lighting, LED downlights and smart dimmer systems in homes, plus office, warehouse and factory lighting for businesses. Free quotes and every circuit tested.

New indoor lighting changes how a room feels more than almost anything else. We fit ceiling lights, wall lights and under cupboard strips, and move switches where they make more sense. Old fittings are taken away. Our indoor lighting installation page has more.

Outside lights make paths and drives safer to use in winter. We fit wall lights, spike lights and sensor floodlights, all on weatherproof cable and fittings. Timers and sensors keep the running cost low. See our outdoor lighting installation page.

Downlights give an even, tidy ceiling with no hanging fittings. We set out the spacing first so the light lands where you need it, then cut and wire each one. Fire rated fittings are used between floors. Read our LED downlight installation page.

Smart lighting lets you dim, group and time lights from a switch or a phone. Dimmers have to be matched to the LED fittings or the lights flicker and buzz. We pair them properly. Our smart lighting and dimmer installation page explains the choices.

Office lighting affects how people feel by the end of the day. Panels with a low glare rating suit screen work, and daylight sensors cut the bill when the sun is out. We can fit out of hours. See our office lighting installation page.

High bay lighting in a warehouse or factory runs for long hours, so efficiency matters. LED high bays draw far less power and start instantly. We plan the layout to meet the light levels the work needs. Our warehouse and factory lighting installation page has more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you replace halogen downlights with LED in Accrington homes?

Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do. LED downlights use a fraction of the power and run far cooler, which matters in a loft space. Fittings are usually swapped one for one, though older transformers often need removing. We check the ceiling first.

Why do my LED lights flicker when dimmed?

Almost always a mismatch between the dimmer and the LED lamps. Old dimmers were built for halogen and need a much higher load than an LED draws. Fitting a trailing edge LED dimmer and matching lamps clears it up. We can test this on a visit.

Do you install commercial lighting outside working hours?

Yes. Offices, shops and units often cannot lose a working day, so we fit lighting in the evening or at a weekend. We work from 7am to 8pm seven days, and can plan the job in sections so parts of the building stay in use throughout.
