Lighting Contractor in Burnley

We work as a lighting contractor in Burnley on indoor and outdoor lighting. That covers LED downlights, garden and driveway lights, security lighting and emergency lighting for business premises. Every job is tested and certificated.

LED downlights sit flush in the ceiling and give an even light across a room. They use a fraction of the power of old halogen fittings and last for years, so you are not up a ladder changing bulbs. Fire rated units keep the ceiling safe. See the LED downlight installation page.

Outdoor lighting makes paths, steps and driveways usable once it goes dark. Anything outside needs weatherproof fittings and cable rated for the job, or water gets in within a season. We plan the positions with you first. The outdoor lighting installation page has more.

Security lights come on when the sensor picks up movement near a door, gate or driveway. Position and angle matter more than raw brightness, or they trigger every time a cat walks past. We set the sensor up properly before leaving. More on the security light installation page.

Garden lighting picks out paths, borders and seating areas without lighting the whole garden. Low voltage runs are the usual choice because the cable is safer to bury. It can go on a timer or a switch indoors. The garden lighting installation page shows what is involved.

Emergency lighting keeps escape routes lit if the power fails, and business premises are required to have it. It needs a short test monthly and a full three hour test once a year. We install, test and log it. See the emergency lighting installation page for the detail.

Swapping a light fitting looks simple until you open the ceiling rose and find four cables. Older houses often have loop in wiring that is easy to get wrong. We change fittings properly and test afterwards. Read the light fitting replacement page before you start one yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you replace halogen downlights with LED in Burnley?

Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do. In most ceilings the old halogen fittings come out and fire rated LED units go straight in. The saving on running cost is large and the lamps last for years. We check the wiring and transformers while we are up there.

How often does emergency lighting need testing?

Emergency lighting needs a short function test every month and a full duration test once a year, where the lights run on battery for three hours. The results go in a log book. We carry out both for business premises in Burnley and replace any units that fail.

Do outdoor lights need their own circuit?

Outdoor lighting needs weatherproof fittings, cable suitable for outside and RCD protection on the circuit. A small run can often come off an existing lighting circuit. Anything larger, like a driveway or a garden scheme, is better on its own circuit. We work that out on the visit.
