Lighting Installation Dublin
Need new lights installed, an existing light fitting replaced, or additional lighting added to your home?
Stillorgan Electrical Services provides residential lighting installation across Dublin, including light fitting installation, ceiling lights, LED downlights, pendant lights, outdoor lighting and new lighting points.
Our service covers the electrical installation and connection of fixed lighting. We are not a lighting shop or decorative-light retailer.
If you already have a suitable light fitting you would like installed, or you are planning a new lighting layout for your home, we can assess the existing electrical installation and carry out the appropriate work.
Our service covers fixed electrical socket outlets and the associated electrical installation. We do not provide appliance repair services.
Whether you need one additional socket or several new electrical points as part of improvements to your home, we can assess the existing installation and carry out the appropriate electrical work.

Light Fitting Installation Dublin
Bought a new light fitting and need an electrician to install it?
We install suitable customer-supplied light fittings in homes across Dublin and connect them to the existing electrical installation where appropriate.
Light fitting installation can include:
-
Ceiling lights
-
Pendant lights
-
Flush and semi-flush fittings
-
Wall lights
-
Decorative light fittings
-
LED fittings
-
Replacement light fittings
-
Other suitable residential lighting
Before installation, we check the existing electrical point, mounting arrangement and requirements of the fitting.
If additional wiring or a new lighting point is required, we can explain what additional electrical work is involved.
Ceiling Light Installation Dublin
We install and replace ceiling lights in residential properties throughout Dublin.
Common locations include:
-
Living rooms
-
Bedrooms
-
Hallways
-
Landings
-
Dining rooms
-
Kitchens
-
Home offices
If an existing lighting point is already in the correct location, the work may simply involve removing the old fitting and installing the suitable replacement.
Where a new position is required, additional wiring may be necessary.
The work depends on the existing electrical installation, ceiling construction, fitting and proposed location.
Pendant Light Installation Dublin
Pendant lights are commonly installed where the position of the fitting is important to the room layout.
Typical locations include:
-
Dining tables
-
Kitchen islands
-
Breakfast bars
-
Stairwells
-
Hallways
-
Bedrooms
-
Living areas
If the existing electrical point does not line up with the new furniture or room layout, the lighting point may need to be relocated.
Larger or heavier pendant fittings can also require additional consideration before installation.
Chandelier Installation Dublin
Chandeliers and larger decorative fittings can involve more than a straightforward light replacement.
Before installation, we may need to consider:
-
Weight of the fitting
-
Ceiling support
-
Existing electrical point
-
Ceiling height
-
Access
-
Position of the fitting
-
Assembly requirements
Where the fitting and existing electrical installation are suitable, we can carry out the electrical installation and connection.
We provide the installation service and do not operate as a chandelier or lighting retailer.
LED Lighting Installation Dublin
We provide residential LED lighting installation in Dublin for homeowners replacing existing lighting or planning a new lighting arrangement.
This can include:
-
LED ceiling lights
-
LED downlights
-
LED wall lights
-
Suitable LED strip-lighting installations
-
Replacement LED fittings
-
LED lighting during renovation work
The installation requirements depend on the fitting, existing wiring, controls and location.
Where dimmers are being used, compatibility between the lighting and control also needs to be considered.
LED Downlight Installation Dublin
LED downlights are commonly used in kitchens, hallways, living areas and other residential spaces.
We can help with:
-
Replacing existing downlights
-
Installing additional downlights
-
Creating a new downlight layout
-
Upgrading suitable older fittings
-
Downlight installation during renovation work
Before installing new downlights, factors such as ceiling construction, cable routes, spacing, insulation and the existing lighting circuit need to be considered.
If you are renovating a room, deciding the lighting layout before ceilings and finishes are completed can make installation easier and reduce unnecessary alterations later.
Kitchen Lighting Installation Dublin
Good kitchen lighting usually needs to do more than simply illuminate the room.
Depending on the layout, lighting may be required around:
-
Kitchen islands
-
Dining areas
-
Worktops
-
Food preparation areas
-
General room areas
-
Feature areas
The lighting arrangement may involve ceiling fittings, downlights, pendant lights or other suitable fixed lighting.
Planning the lighting positions before the kitchen is finished can help ensure lights are installed where they are actually useful.
This page covers the lighting installation itself.
For sockets, cooker connections, extractor-fan wiring or wider kitchen electrical alterations, see our Socket Installation & Repair and General Electrical Services pages.
Bathroom Lighting Installation Dublin
Bathroom lighting needs additional consideration because electricity is being used in an area where moisture is present.
The fitting and its position need to be appropriate for the part of the bathroom where it will be installed.
We can assess the proposed lighting location and carry out suitable bathroom lighting installation based on the room layout and existing electrical system.
Outdoor Lighting Installation Dublin
We install residential outdoor lighting throughout Dublin for entrances, gardens, patios, pathways and other exterior areas.
Outdoor lighting can be useful around:
-
Front entrances
-
Driveways
-
Side passages
-
Gardens
-
Patios
-
Garden walls
-
Pathways
-
Rear entrances
Outdoor electrical installations need to be suitable for exposure to rain, moisture and changing weather conditions.
Before installation, we consider:
-
Light position
-
Cable route
-
Existing electrical supply
-
Electrical protection
-
Exposure to weather
-
Switching or controls
-
Accessibility
We can assess the property and determine an appropriate electrical installation for the proposed lighting.
PIR & Motion Sensor Light Installation Dublin
Motion-sensor and PIR lighting can automatically operate when movement is detected.
It is commonly installed around:
-
Front doors
-
Driveways
-
Side passages
-
Rear entrances
-
Gardens
-
Other exterior access areas
The position and adjustment of the sensor can affect when and where the light operates.
We can install suitable motion-activated exterior lighting and connect it to the fixed electrical installation.
This service covers electrical lighting installation, not burglar alarms, CCTV or security-system installation.
New Lighting Point Installation Dublin
If you want a light installed where there is currently no electrical point, new wiring may be required.
Adding a lighting point can involve:
-
Selecting the required position
-
Identifying a suitable electrical supply
-
Routing cable
-
Installing switching where required
-
Installing the lighting point
-
Connecting the fitting
-
Carrying out appropriate checks
The amount of work depends on the existing installation, construction of the property and accessibility.
We can assess the proposed position and explain what is required before work begins.
Moving or Relocating Light Fittings
Sometimes the existing light is perfectly functional but simply in the wrong position.
This is common when:
-
A dining table moves
-
A kitchen island is installed
-
A room is renovated
-
Furniture layouts change
-
A feature fitting needs to be centred
-
A room changes use
Where appropriate, we can relocate an existing lighting point or install a new point in the preferred position.
The work required depends on the existing cable route, ceiling construction and proposed location.
Dimmer Switch Installation Dublin
Dimmer switches can provide more control over suitable residential lighting.
They are commonly used with lighting in:
-
Living rooms
-
Dining rooms
-
Bedrooms
-
Feature-lighting areas
The dimmer, lamps and light fitting need to be compatible.
Where suitable, we can install or replace dimmer controls as part of the lighting work.
For wider switch alterations that are not specifically related to lighting, see our General Electrical Services page.
Light Fitting Replacement Dublin
If you already have an electrical lighting point and simply want the fitting changed, we can remove the existing fitting and install a suitable customer-supplied replacement.
Before fitting the new light, we check the existing connection and mounting arrangement.
If the issue is not the fitting itself and there appears to be a wider electrical problem, the appropriate service may instead be Electrical Fault Finding & Repairs.
Residential Lighting Installation Dublin
Dublin homes can have very different lighting requirements depending on the age, layout and previous alterations to the property.
In an existing home, a lighting project may involve working with established cable routes and existing lighting points.
Renovated rooms may require completely different light positions, while extensions and converted spaces can need new lighting points and controls.
Rather than assuming every installation is the same, we assess the existing arrangement and the lighting you want to install before determining what electrical work is required.
This page is specifically for residential lighting installation.
Commercial lighting projects for offices, shops and business premises are covered by our Commercial Electrical Services.
Lighting Installation Cost Dublin
The cost of lighting installation depends on the work required rather than simply the number of fittings.
Factors can include:
-
Number of lights
-
Existing or new lighting points
-
Type of fitting
-
Ceiling height
-
Accessibility
-
Existing wiring
-
Cable routes
-
Additional switching
-
Indoor or outdoor installation
-
Whether additional electrical work is needed
Replacing an existing ceiling light can involve very different work from creating a new lighting layout with multiple downlights and additional wiring.
