Looking for a Decorative lighting Electrician?

1) Decorative Lighting Installation in Banbury, Brackley and Surrounding Areas

1.0.1) Decorative lights fitted carefully and connected properly

I regularly get called out to replace decorative lights where the previous connections have been poorly altered inside the base of the light fitting. Sometimes there is no CPC, or earth, connected at all, which is a serious issue because many decorative lights are made from conductive metal and need to be earthed correctly.

I’m Luke from L J Mullan Electrical, a NAPIT registered electrician covering Banbury, Brackley and the surrounding areas. I install decorative lights, feature lights and additional lights for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and businesses, with clear communication from the first quote through to completion.

Decorative lights are often expensive and chosen carefully by the customer, so I always take my time when handling and fitting them. I use good quality Wago connectors to make sure the cables are secure, tidy and safe inside the fitting.

3) What’s involved when you book

You can email, message, WhatsApp or call me to arrange a free quotation.

I’ll attend your property for a free, no-obligation quote and go through the job in detail. I’ll look at the existing light point, check the wiring, discuss the fitting you have chosen and explain any possible issues before the work is booked in.

My aim is that you have a full understanding of the work that will be carried out. If anything changes once the fitting is opened up, I’ll discuss it with you before doing any extra work.

4) What I often find behind old light fittings

A decorative light can look fine from the outside, but the wiring behind it can be poor.

Common issues I come across include:

• Poor electrical connections
• Loose or badly joined cables
• No CPC, or earth, connected
• Cables crammed into the base of the light fitting
• No care taken when fitting expensive decorative lights
• Incorrect or unsafe alterations from previous work

This is why I take time to check the wiring properly, not just swap the fitting and walk away. If the existing wiring is not right, I’ll explain the issue clearly and talk you through the safest option.

5) Customer-supplied decorative lights

Most customers supply their own decorative lights because the style is personal to them. I’m happy to offer advice before installation if you are unsure whether a fitting is suitable.

Before fitting, I’ll check the light, the fixing method and the wiring requirements. Decorative lights can vary a lot, especially feature lights, multi-drop fittings and heavier metal fittings, so it is worth checking these details before installation.

How much does decorative lighting installation cost?

Decorative lighting installation starts from £75.00 + VAT. I confirm the final price after a free survey, so you know what is involved before booking.

Do I need to supply the decorative light?

Usually, yes. Most customers supply their own decorative lights because the style and finish are personal, but I’m happy to offer advice before installation.

How long does it take to install a decorative light?

Most jobs take between 1 and 6 hours. It depends on the type of fitting, the existing wiring, ceiling access and whether any alterations are needed.

Why is earthing important on decorative lights?

Many decorative lights are made from conductive metal, so the CPC, or earth, needs to be connected correctly where required. I regularly find fittings where this has been missed, so I always check the wiring properly.

What can go wrong with a poor lighting installation?

Poor connections, loose cables, missing earth connections and careless fitting can all cause problems. I use good quality Wago connectors and take care to make sure the light is securely and safely installed.
