LED flickering is most commonly caused by an incompatible dimmer switch (most old dimmers were designed for halogen and are not compatible with LED), a failing LED driver, a loose connection in the wiring or at the fitting, or a mismatch between the LED load and the dimmer's minimum load specification. We test the circuit and dimmer to identify the exact cause.

A lighting circuit MCB that keeps tripping indicates either an overloaded circuit (too many high-wattage fittings — unusual with LED), a short circuit at a fitting or junction box, a damaged cable, or a faulty fitting drawing excessive current. We test the circuit systematically to isolate the cause — checking each fitting and junction box on the circuit.

It could be as simple as a failed LED bulb or driver. However, if the fitting has an integrated LED (no separate bulb), the entire fitting may need replacing. A single dead downlight can also indicate a loose connection at that fitting's junction box or a failed transformer in older low-voltage systems. We diagnose the exact cause before recommending a repair.

Yes — we diagnose and repair outdoor and garden lighting faults, including armoured cable damage, failed IP-rated fittings, and outdoor circuit issues. We ensure any replacement fittings meet the correct IP rating for their installed position. RCD-protected outdoor circuits are tested and certified on completion.

Check your consumer unit — if the MCB for that lighting circuit has tripped, try resetting it (push firmly back to ON). If it immediately trips again, there is a circuit fault — leave it off and call us. If the MCB has not tripped but the circuit is dead, you may have a supply fault or a circuit break elsewhere. Either way, this requires a professional diagnostic visit to resolve safely.

Yes — bathroom lighting repairs require particular care due to the zone requirements of BS 7671. We ensure any replacement fittings carry the correct IP rating for their specific zone location (IP44 for Zone 1, IP44 or higher for exposed positions). All bathroom lighting repairs are tested and certified on completion.

Most lighting repairs are priced as a call-out and first hour (typically £70–£130), with any required parts additional.
