Project Overview

A house that worked beautifully until sunset, when a single ceiling circuit per room flattened every space it lit.

The challenge
Every room was on one switched circuit with a central fitting. The result was even, shadowless light with no way to change the character of a room after dark. Several ceilings could not be opened up.
Our approach
Lighting was replanned in general, task and accent layers, with the circuits reorganised to match. Where ceilings could not be disturbed, the accent layer was delivered from wall and floor positions instead, which kept the intervention to chases rather than full ceiling work.
The result
Each main room now has three usable settings after dark, and the installation is documented and labelled for the first time.

Scope of work

01

Lighting Brief

Each room was assessed for how it is used and at what times, and what the existing single-circuit arrangement prevented.

02

Circuits

Circuits were reorganised and extended, with switching grouped logically per room and the consumer unit relabelled throughout.

03

Installation

Wall and floor positions carried the accent layer where ceilings had to stay closed. Chases were cut, made good and redecorated.

04

Commissioning

Levels were set after dark, in the rooms themselves, rather than assumed from the plan.
