FAQs

Common Questions

Can't find your answer? Give us a call on 07940 071963.

Flickering lights are most commonly caused by a loose connection at the fitting, a failing LED driver, a loose connection at the ceiling rose or junction box, or a voltage issue on the circuit. In Edinburgh's older properties, loose connections in aging wiring are a common cause. We test systematically to find the exact source.

A dead lighting circuit in an Edinburgh home is usually caused by a tripped MCB, a blown fuse (in older boards), a failed junction box connection or a broken cable. We carry test equipment to trace the fault to its exact location without unnecessary disruption.

Yes — LED downlight failures are often caused by failing LED drivers rather than the LED itself. We can replace drivers in most downlight types. If a fitting is repeatedly failing, it may be due to overheating (inadequate ventilation above the ceiling) or a voltage issue — we'll diagnose and advise.

Yes — bathroom lighting repairs require care around zone regulations and IP ratings. We ensure any replacement fittings are appropriate for their zone within the bathroom and that all work is certified to current standards. This is particularly important when selling an Edinburgh property.

Dimmer buzzing and flickering is almost always a compatibility issue between the dimmer and the LED fittings. Many Edinburgh homes still have older dimmers that aren't compatible with modern LEDs. We replace incompatible dimmers with LED-compatible models — usually a quick, same-day fix.
