Wall light installations in Coventry
- 01
Choosing the position
Wall lights usually sit at around head height, spaced evenly along a wall or either side of a bed, mirror or fireplace. Up-and-down lights wash the wall with light, while shaded lights give a softer glow. We'll help you decide where they'll look best.

Running the cables
Each wall light needs a cable from the lighting circuit or a fused spur. In most homes the cable is chased into the wall and plastered over, or run inside a stud wall. If you're decorating, it's best to fit wall lights before you paint.

Switching your wall lights
Wall lights can share a switch with the ceiling light, but most people prefer a separate switch so they can be used on their own. A dimmer is a popular choice for living rooms and bedrooms. We'll fit the switching that suits how you'll use them.
What to expect from a wall light installation
We look at the room and agree where the lights and switch will go. We check where the nearest lighting circuit runs and how the cables will reach each light, then give you a free quote that covers the full job.
We run and chase in the cables, fit back boxes and connect the lights and switch. Then we test the circuit and check each light works. The chases will need filling and painting, so we'll show you where they are before we leave.

Wall light installation questions
Can you fit wall lights without damaging my walls in Coventry?
Fitting wall lights normally means chasing a narrow channel for the cable, which needs filling afterwards. On stud walls, cables can often be fed through with less damage. If you'd rather avoid chasing, surface trunking is an option, though it's more visible on the wall.
Can wall lights go on the same switch as my ceiling light in Coventry?
Yes, they can be wired to the same switch, but a separate switch or a two-gang switch gives you more control. Many people like to use wall lights on their own in the evening, so we usually suggest separate switching. We'll talk through the options.
How many wall lights do I need in a Coventry living room?
It depends on the size of the room and the look you want. A pair either side of a fireplace or TV is common, while a long room may need two pairs. Wall lights add atmosphere rather than main light, so they work alongside ceiling lights.
Can you replace old wall lights with new ones in Coventry?
Yes. If the cables are already there, swapping wall lights is a quicker job. We check the existing wiring and back boxes are sound, fit the new lights and test them. If the new lights have a different shaped base, the wall may need a little touching up.
