Light is often the single most important factor in a room yet it is frequently overlooked. Good lighting is about altering perceptions of light and space, creating focal points and enhancing features, and creating moods or enabling tasks. It’s much more than just ensuring that the light level is adequate or incorporating a striking light fitting into an interior design, although both of these can be important.
People are increasingly recognizing the importance of good lighting, both for their own enjoyment of a house and for the enhancement of its value. But where do you start? Fittings are confusing and many are not widely available, positioning them correctly is a minefield, and how do you add that interesting twist or ‘wow’ factor? Control systems can be simple or sophisticated but do need to be considered right at the start. It’s risky since you can’t ‘test’ it until it is finished, and expensive – particularly if you get it wrong.
We take the mystery out of good lighting and help you make the most of your space. Our approach is to work closely with you, to understand how you use the space, what you want to emphasise, and how these needs may change over time
From downlights in your bathroom to a full lighting control system Tom Fitzpatrick Electrical can offer a full design and installation service.If you choose to have downlights installed we strongly reccomend using 3 watt Led lamps instead of the 50w halogens that are typically fitted, although they are more expensive to start with they will not only save you money in the long term but you will also be reducng your carbon footprint.
Typical Example - 8 downlights fitted using 50w halogen lamps used for 6 hours a day = £87 per year
8 downlights fitted using 3w halogen lamps used for 6 hours a day = £5 per year
